| “ | I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you; that's how they engineered us. But we're not droids. We're not programmed. You have to learn to make your own decisions. | „ |

What Makes Him Pure Good?
- He fought in the Clone Wars and is very loyal to both his friends and his men, constantly looking out for them and ensuring their safety.
- Though he did kill people during the Clone Wars, it is part of the rules of war, and he never kills unless absolutely necessary, placing a value on life.
- He didn't snitch on Cut Lawquane despite him being a deserter, letting him stay with his wife and children.
- He kept the relationship between Anakin and Padmé a secret from the Jedi Council.
- In the Umbara arc, Rex attempted to stand up to Krell's orders when they're forced to retreat and states his duty to protect his men, doing his best to reason with General Krell and ensure the lives of his men are protected.
- Rex tries to take the blame for Fives and Jesse's insubordination, then defied Krell when he wanted them executed.
- He warned the 501st and 212th legions about them shooting at each other before all of the troopers got killed.
- He led a coup to arrest Krell for treason against the Republic, and when Dogma retaliates against them and prepares to fire due to believing them all to be traitors, Rex reasons with him and exclaims that they're not droids, and they have to learn to make their own decisions, which convinces Dogma to drop his weapon.
- Even when forced to execute Krell to prevent him from leaking intelligence and to protect the safety of his men and the Republic, Rex still hesitated, which is remarkable considering all of his men killed at Krell's hands.
- After the Republic conquered Umbara, Rex questions what was the point of this attack and the point of the war in general, becoming more considerate of the lives lost in the conflict.
- When Ahsoka was found guilty of bombing a Jedi Temple and killing many clone troopers, Rex refused to believe she was guilty of those crimes and worked alongside Anakin to prove her innocence.
- When Fives discovered the truth about Order 66 but was framed by Palpatine into thinking he attempted to kill the Chancellor, Rex attempted to peacefully reason with Fives, and when he was fatally shot, he held Fives in his arms as he died and comforted him, honoring his death by recording exactly what Fives had claimed.
- He only killed Keeper Agruss as it was the only way to save the latter's slaves he was about to kill and Obi-Wan cannot do it due to the codes of the Jedi.
- He led a rescue mission for Echo.
- Unlike the other clones who turned on the Jedi during Order 66, Rex showed some restraint towards Ahsoka before attacking her.
- He showed extreme anguish over being forced to kill his own men when they were under the control of their programming and Order 66.
- He helped the Bad Batch remove their Inhibitor Chips.
- He overcame his hatred for droids by working together with Kalani, a military droid that once worked for the Separatists.
- After the Clone Wars, Rex helped the Rebel Alliance fight back against the Empire until the Battle of Endor.
