Commander Doom was an incredibly loyal Clone Commander who served under Jedi Generals Tiplee
and Tiplar at the battle of Ringo Vinda and witnessed the inhibitor chip malfunction of
Clone Trooper Tup.
After witnessing Tup brutally kill Master Tiplar, did Commander Doom put the pieces
together and discover the truth about Order 66?
I’m going to break down some really interesting theories about the fate of Commander doom
and whether or not he executed Order 66.

During a massive assault at the Battle of Ringo Vinda, Commander Doom fought with his
unique squad of Clone Troopers under the Jedi Generals Tiplar and Tiplee.
Doom’s squad was joined by Anakin Skywalker’s 501st troopers Fives and Tup, to assist in
the front lines of the battle.
As the Republic forces, led by Anakin, Tiplar and Doom were approaching the command centre
of Admiral Trench during the battle, Clone Trooper Tup began to feel severe pain as his
inhibitor malfunctioned.
This malfunction in the inhibitor chip, led to Tup unexpectedly shooting General Tiplar
in the back of the head, killing her instantly.
Commander Doom witnessed this event with his own eyes, and was utterly shocked that one
of his brothers could do something like this.
Commander Doom and the whole of his squad actually underwent specialized training and
breeding procedures on Kamino so that they would have significantly more loyalty than
the other clones of the Republic.
Because of his specialized training in loyalty on Kamino, even just the thought of betraying
his general completely disgusted Commander Doom.
After the inhibitor chip malfunction of Clone Trooper Tup, we unfortunately don’t see
Commander Doom at all in the Clone Wars series.
So did Commander Doom execute Order 66 and remove his inhibitor chip?
Well, here are a few theories:
The first theory is that Commander Doom did remove his inhibitor chip after Tup’s malfunctioned
and killed his General TipLar.
We know that Commander Doom was specifically bred on Kamino to be utterly loyal to the
Galactic Republic and to obey his orders without question.
Commander Doom and the rest of the Doom Squad received special training and were moulded
to be the most loyal squad of soldiers that the Republic had ever seen.
Because of this, he and his men were extremely distraught at the killing of General Tiplar.
Doom, along with the other troopers of his company paused during the battle to mourn
the death of their general, still remaining extremely confused at how something like this
could happen.
For these reasons, it's very possible that Doom and the rest of his squad dedicated themselves
to ensuring that something like this could never happen to them, leading them to investigate
exactly what happened to Tup.
Let me know down below if you think Doom and his Doom squad did investigate Tup’s malfunction.
If they did conduct an investigation, their research would certainly have led them to
Fives, who was the other 501st member in the direct vicinity of Tup when he executed Order
66 early.
Because we know that Fives did his own investigation into the inhibitor chips of the Clone Army,
and eventually discovered the truth behind Palpatine’s plan, it’s also very possible
that this information was able to make its way to the Doom Squad.
On top of this, we also know that Rex filed a report with the Jedi Order about the mysterious
inhibitor chips that Fives discovered in his investigation.
If Commander Doom and his men did continue to investigate the mysterious behaviour of
Tup, it is almost certain that they would have spoken with Rex, where he may have voiced
his concerns about the incident.
Now on the other hand, it’s possible that Commander Doom and his squad simply never
discovered the truth about Sidious’ inhibitor chips, and were therefore not able to remove
them before Order 66 was called.
If Commander Doom and his squad were immediately sent back into battle after the incident,
there may not have been enough time to look any further into the incident on Ringo Vinda.
If they were never able to remove their inhibitor chip, it’s almost certain that the intense
loyalty that these specific clones were trained for, would have transferred to Palpatine,
instead of the general they served, making it very easy for them to gun her down.
Dave Filloni has also confirmed that there was initially supposed to be 9 Clones Living
on the ATTE on Seelos, in Star Wars Rebels, alongside Rex, Wolffe and Gregor.
So maybe Doom was initially meant to be one of the 9 surviving Clones in Rebels, who refused
to Obey Order 66.
Overall, I really think that Commander Doom did disobey Order 66 and was able to remove
his inhibitor chip, along with the rest of the doom squad.
I just hope we get to see him again in future Star Wars content.
But let me know down below right now: did Commander Doom Execute Order 66 and Did Commander
Doom remove his chip?
