#would just be nice to show that everyones journey to processing trauma and betrayal like this will look different

we need to see Rex's outright refusal to forgive Anakin for the carnage and trauma he caused the galaxy and the clones juxtaposed to Ahsoka's acceptance of the good in him living on in her

because while Ahsoka needed to make peace with Anakin and what he became to continue on in her journey...

Rex does not. Rex deserves to know the truth so he can realize that HE was the hero in his own story. HE was the one trying to save the galaxy from evil. and that Anakin is no longer deserving of the reverence and loyalty that Rex always gives him to this day. Rex and his brothers gave everything, including their lives, for the good of the galaxy and they do not owe Anakin any ounce of gratitude anymore.

I just want to see Rex turn his back on him because he knows loyalty is EARNED not given and that you can/should revoke your support of someone when they no longer stand for what you believe in.

Yes!! This!! ☝️☝️ Let Rex find out the truth because he deserves the truth. He deserves to know what happened, just like everyone else who was close to Anakin. He’s a grown ass adult with strong emotional awareness and he can handle knowing. It would be devastating to him initially, and he absolutely wouldn’t have to forgive Anakin for anything, but he would process it and grow from it. They need to give him the emotional autonomy he deserves.

It’s so insulting and infantilizing to his character that people don’t think he’s capable of handling this kind of revelation. Rex doesn’t need to be sheltered like that because he is a grown ass man and can handle the truth. Additionally that man would respect honesty more than anything because he’s got every “can’t lie for shit” gene, and I don’t think he would appreciate the truth being hidden from him by anyone, and I’m sure he would feel manipulated by anyone who didn’t tell him the truth.
