I love how Appo seems to be like Dogma (loyal to Krell) but a little more quiet, but he's still among the clones who refused to shoot Fives and Jesse. Wish we saw more of him
Fun fact: Sergeant Appo served under Darth Vader in place of Captain Rex after he betrayed the Empire, Sergeant Appo was also with Vader after he survived and killed several Jedi in an assassination attempt on Vader's life. Appo is an absolute chad.
I never noticed this before but he is the only clone that Krell refers to by name instead of number or rank like he does with Rex and the rest of the clones.
Battle of umbara really is a treasure. It added so much to the clones Edit: I didnt even know After a few Videos that kix only appeared once before Umbara.... He felt so natural that i thought we've seen him as much as rex haha
Honestly, Appo should have been alongside Rex on Teth, take Jesse's role in the Salecami arc, and be outright Anakin's voice of reason whereas Rex is Ahsoka's. All those stupid Jar Jar and Threepio arcs should have been for developing Clones like Appo, Bacara, Bly, and Neyo.
agreed I understand why they created Rex but Appo has been completely disregarded by the New Canon and I hope to see him in Bad Batch as well as the other commander's
One of my biggest problems with TCW is this. I hate that they shafted the ROTS commanders for stuff like Jar Jar and Threepio arcs, or even new clone commanders. I still don't get why Jet was with Ki-Adi-Mundi on Geonosis when it could've easily been Bacara
@@chummybuttons4533its because filoni was scared of showing clones fans knew committed order 66. same reason cody doesn’t get the spotlight much. (its kinda bullshit we just aren’t allowed to have morally complex characters 🙄)
It's because the 501st Legion was downsized into a battalion under the 7th Sky Corps alongside the 212th battalion in the new canon. During the last months of the war, both the 501st and 212th greatly expanded in manpower, promoting inexperienced officers to expand both battalions to legions to prepare for Operation Knightfall and the Outer Rim Sieges. That's why NCOs like Sergeant Appo, Waxer and Vaughn became lieutenants and commanders really quickly as the war progressed. But yeah, we really needed to see more of Appo. Edit: Grammar
@@commanderbacara225 just curious where you got this from since I know some people have theorized that the 501st might have been apart of the 7th Sky Corps but to my knowledge there was never any concrete evidence in canon or legends. And I know canon might have changed some things but I’m not sure how the 501st Legion could be downsized to a battalion since it is a Legion (and each legion is made of 4 regiments, and each regiment is made of 4 battalions).
@@kingcobra9726 What I meant is that the new canon states the 501st started off as a Clone Battalion that eventually formed the nucleus to expand into the 501st Legion. In Season 1-3 of the Clone wars, the 501st were always referred to as a clone battalion and pretty much only engaged in smaller-scale battles while supported by two smaller AT-TE battalions or exclusively alongside the 212th. You begin to see the 501st operating more independently as the war progressed but still deployed adjacent to the combat area of the 212th in the later seasons (Like Umbara). In Season 5 onwards, they were no longer referred to as a battalion anymore, and operated more as an independent formation away from the 212th, indicating that the formation was upgraded and reconstituted into a full brigade or legion by the end of the war. This is the norm for many armies IRL as well. New divisions would usually be built from a battalion/regiment level until they get enough manpower to become separate divisions. Sister battalions like the 501st and 212th that serve together for a prolonged period of time are almost always assigned to the same Corps. This could also explain why Rex personally knew Gregor, since he was from Foxtrot Group within the 212th, a sister battalion to the 501st.
Appo was technically the last clone who could possibly lead the 501st behind Captain Vaughn and Lieutenant Jessie but turned out to be the best partner Vader ever had.
@@rileylawl He only had his arrow in TCW, he didn't have it by time of ROTS and there's no way he would rub it out for some reason before the events when he confronted Bail Organa happened, he was then heavily injured by youngling so he couldn't be present when 3 jedi that were guarding Grogu died, since at that time he must've been taken to some medical station , and besides : other clones could have the arrow on their helmet just like Appo, so it can't possibly be him, Wookiepedia also doesn't say it was him during the flashback. You really should (along with other people that thinks that's Appo) pay more attention, people alsso think the middle jedi that was guarding Grogu was Cin Drallig, well that's also incorrect, because it has been confirmed that he was killed by Darth Vader when he appeared on hologram in ROTS, and there's no way he could be that guy when he was shot in torso in the flashback, because even if he would survive the shot, he surely wouldn't be fit enough to stand and swing his lightsaber properly, like how we've seen him do in already mentioned hologram in ROTS, you people just want to have lot of fanfiction and connections everywhere in Star Wars. why can't you just admit the fact that not every character in Star Wars has to be named, those were just some unidentified Clones who killed some unidentified Jedi who guarded Grogu.
@@noahmaldonado5461 I think that might mean he's still fresh. There are plenty of regular clones with and without the rest of the blue stripe on their helmets.
I really like The Bad Batch. But I consider that we should have had a continuity to The Clone Wars with the point of view of the clones of the Empire. We then follow Vader's 501 with Commander Appo. And at the same time, we are witnessing the intrigues of the clones all over the galaxy.
Fun fact: due to Dave Filoni directing both The Clone Wars and Avatar: The Last Airbender, in addition to Dee Bradley Baker voicing Appa and all the clone troopers, Commander Appo is a reference to Appa himself
@floridianliau35 No worries. A lot of people think that Appo's entire existence is a reference to Appa due to the similar names and the fact that the arrow IS a reference. Funnily enough, Appo's name actually predates the existence of ATLA since Appo's had that name since 2003 while ATLA came out in 2005.
Krell's favorite clone. Appo seems to be a more by the book Rex but doesn't follow blind orders like Dogma did. No wonder he was promoted to Commander, what Rex was to Anakin, Appo was to Vader.
It's assumed that Fives was in charge of a small squad of clone troopers that didn't had the face stripe on their helmets that's why we see many 501st troopers with an incomplete helmet stripe
@@Guiltyspark0801 Either that or they're greener clones. For all we know that blue stripe may be completely for certain criteria, like surviving a planetary campaign.
i’m not gonna lie, as small of a thing this is i think its really cool, for the most part unnamed clones are completely identical so its cool that some unnamed clones are unique like this

He turned on krell

I think he was there in flash back of the last episode of The book of boba Fett. It looks like his helmet.
He was a Commander after the Clone Wars Darth did respect him.
@@gata_22 yeah in Grogu’s flashback while order 66 Appo can be scene shooting at the Jedi protecting him
He's best known for the iconic 501st journal entry from the og battlefront 2
He should’ve been in Rebels to be the Imperial version of Rex as they couldn’t have Cody after the plan for him was dropped.

TCW really did did Appo wrong, should have left him as a commander and given him more screen time.

I'm pretty sure Appo was promoted in ROTS because the 501st needed a clone commander and he was the only somewhat high ranked one who remained
@@commanderbacara225 makes sense, guess I’m used to/prefer the legends version where the 501st started as a legion on the battle of Geonosis.
How Palpatine got Appo to execute order 66:
*Appo, yip yip*
Appo was technically the last clone who could possibly lead the 501st behind Captain Vaughn and Lieutenant Jessie but turned out to be the best partner Vader ever had.
I bet if Rex wasnt on Mandalore and pn Coruscant instead, he would have been better.
No? The 501st is a legion, meaning that it has 20 different clone commanders in it, 4 regimental commanders and 16 battalion commanders.
There’s been a rebellion sir, the situation is under control, I’m sorry sir, it’s time for you to leave
Anyone else believe that appo was the clone who recorded the 501st journal from bf?
