Dogma was one of the most loyal soldiers of the 501st Legion, being known amongst it’s
ranks as someone who could always be trusted.
After his immense loyalty was manipulated by fallen Jedi Master, General Pong Krell
during the Battle of Umbara he was arrested and taken into custody for his actions.
So what happened to Dogma After the Clone Wars Season 7 and Order 66?
I’m going to break down some incredibly interesting theories about what may have happened
to Dogma After the Battle of Umbara and the unfortunate reality of his actions.

After being called back to Coruscant by an emergency request from the Jedi Council and
the Supreme Chancellor, General Anakin Skywalker was forced to leave at the battle of Umbara,
placing his 501st legion under the command of General Pong Krell.
Pong Krell was the complete opposite to Anakin in his leadership style and command structure.
Trooper Dogma was extremely obedient and willing to accept any order from his superiors, without
question.
For this reason, he was as loyal to General Pong Krell, as he was to Anakin, once Krell
took over the 501st on Umbara.
After arriving at their intended checkpoint on Umbara, Rex prepared his men for an attack
on a nearby airbase, which was intended to assist General Obi-Wan Kenobi’s 212th on
the other side of the Capital city.
Most of the 501st did not believe that this plan would be a success, and that General
Krell was putting all of their lives in danger.
Dogma on the other hand fully believed in the plan, believing it would be a success,
showing his extreme loyalty to Krell.
The plan did ultimately work, but only because Troopers Fives and Hardcase hijacked two strange
Umbaran starfighters from the airbase, using them to destroy nearby targets.
Because of this, Pong Krell ordered the airbase be placed under his control and all activities
in the area to be monitored.
Later that night, Fives, Jesse and Hardcase snuck out of the base and took three of the
forbidden Umbaran Starfighters to destroy a support vessel in orbit of the planet, which
was resupplying the Umbaran defences.
Because of Dogma’s loyalty to Pong Krell, he went with Trooper Tup to report the three
trooper’s violation of the rules.
Although Rex did stop Dogma from reporting the violation, General Krell ordered the troopers
to be executed anyway.
During the Execution, Dogma was in charge of the firing squad, but was unable to carry
out his order because fives successfully gained the support of his brothers, before they could
pull the trigger.
The execution was then put on hold when General Krell received a transmission stating that
the Umbarans had stolen Clone Armor.
Because of this, Krell sent his men back into battle, but this time, unknowingly against
their own brothers.
The 501st were forced to fire at their own brothers, killing many of them without even
knowing.
At this point, Rex was able to convince the rest of his men to arrest General Krell for
treason, except for Dogma, who still held loyalty for the general.
Dogma refused to arrest his General, but was quickly tackled to the ground and arrested
himself, by Rex and his men.
After this General Krell revealed his betrayal and fall to the Dark Side to his men, absolutely
shocking Dogma, who had fully trusted him, even through his most disgusting actions.
Rex then held his blaster pointed at Krell, ready to execute him, but before he could
pull the trigger, Dogma took the shot, killing the General.
Because Dogma technically did not have the authority to kill Pong Krell at this stage,
he was arrested by the other Clones, and likely taken to a military prison on Coruscant, where
he would be forced to face a military trial, similar to the one Ahsoka and Barriss Offee
faced.
And This is the last time we see Dogma in the Clone Wars series.
I really wish we got to see his fate in the Clone Wars Season 7!
Now this is where things could get interesting.
At this point, Palpatine would likely have pushed for a harsh punishment for Dogma, in
order to maintain his appearance as a Law and Order Chancellor, who showed no fear and
no weakness against traitors to the republic.
Because Dogma did commit mutiny against the 501st legion, it is very possible that he
would have faced the death penalty, if convicted for his crimes.
With officers like Tarkin in charge of Military trials, it’s very likely that Dogma would
have faced similar punishment to what Ahsoka was facing after she was framed by Barriss
Offee.
Although Rex did support Dogma’s action in killing Krell, he ultimately would not
have any say in the punishment handed to him, if he were convicted.
Let me know down in the comments below if you think Dogma deserved the death penalty
for his actions.
It’s also very possible that Rex and Anakin vouched for Dogma’s loyalty and dedication
to his brothers, leading to Tarkin not pursuing the death penalty against him.
This would mean that After being convicted, Dogma would likely be sent to a military prison
on Coruscant, possibly the same one Barriss Offee was sent to after she was convicted
at a military trial, for the attack on the Jedi temple.
This would place Dogma in a prison cell during the time of Order 66, obviously making it
impossible for him to have executed the Order against his Jedi General.
If Dogma was placed in a prison cell after his trial, it’s extremely likely that Palpatine
would have sent him back to Kamino to have scans performed on his inhibitor chip, just
like Fives and Tup, to ensure that it did not malfunction when he killed Pong Krell.
At this point, a few things could happen.
The first is that Palpatine could release Dogma from his prison cell, and re-integrate
him into the imperial navy as a stormtrooper, or training instructor, just like Commander
Cody was in Legends.
He might have even rejoined the 501st, this time, under the leadership Darth Vader.
The only reason this is unlikely is because we know that Palpatine began to develop a
fear of the Clones after Order 66, because he believed that if they could destroy the
Jedi Order, the same thing could potentially happen to him and his empire.
Another possibility is that he was simply executed in his cell by the Coruscant Guard
clones who were stationed at his prison.
We know that Order 66 did include the execution of anyone that Darth Sidious and the Empire
deemed a threat, from Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 and 11, where Rex ordered the execution
of Maul, on the Orders of Darth Sidious.
This would make sense, because despite his unwavering loyalty, Dogma was pushed far enough
to execute his own General after being betrayed.
Sidious and Vader may have executed him so that he would not be able to turn on them,
like he did on the Jedi.
But let me know what you think happened to Dogma after the Clone Wars and Order 66.
I think the most likely scenario is that he was given the death penalty for killing his
general, and executed shortly after.
