Don't get too excited, but there's some buzz doing the rounds online that we could see Clone Captain Rex make an appearance in season two of The Mandalorian. It's based on that fact that producer, writer, and director Dave Filoni has updated his Twitter profile banner with a piece of artwork strikingly similar to what was used in the credits for the show.
As you can see, it depicts an older version as Ashoka Tano (who will be played by Rosario Dawson) alongside Rex, a fan-favourite ally of hers from both The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
If we're not going to see Sabine Wren in the Disney+ series, then it would certainly make sense for Rex to join Ashoka in some capacity and watching him interact with the Mandalorian should be an absolute blast. Honestly, though, of all the familiar faces from the past we expected to see, Sabine would probably be higher up the list given her history with the Darksaber.
Regardless, this is either a coincidence (the artwork could be from any number of places), serious trolling, or a major hint from Filoni about what's to come in The Mandalorian.
Do you guys think we could see Rex enter this live-action series? If so, who should play him?
