With Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 wrapping up the Clone Wars series, many of us still
have some massive questions.
One of these is: what happened to Commander Fox after the Clone Wars Season 7 and Order
66?
I’m going to break down exactly what happened to Commander Fox after the Clone Wars and
how Darth Vader brutally punished him for his mistakes in the hunt for Ahsoka Tano.
So before we dive deep into it, remember to subscribe to the channel to be notified as

At the moment a tiny 6.8% of you who are watching this are subscribed to the channel, so if
you do enjoy the content, lets try to get that number just a bit higher!
As we know, Commander Fox was heavily involved in the arrest and imprisonment of Ahsoka Tano
following the attack on the Jedi temple by her former friend Barriss Offee.
After Ahsoka visited the prisoner who the Jedi initially believed was behind the attack
on the temple, the prisoner was abruptly and shockingly strangled to death within her cell.
Because Ahsoka was the only person inside of the cell with the accused prisoner, Commander
Fox had no choice but to arrest her.
After spending some time inside of a prison cell herself, Ahsoka managed to escape the
facility, being careful not to hurt any Clone Troopers on her way out, because of course,
she was only an innocent bystander in the killing.
Unfortunately for her though, Barriss Offee used her own lightsabers to kill several Clone
Troopers as she escaped the prison holding facility, making it seem like Ahsoka had slaughtered
Clones during her escape.
This action by Barriss Offee caused Commander Fox to deploy the entire Coruscant guard,
alongside Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex.
His ruthless hunt for Ahsoka caused a strong level of distrust and anger in Anakin, because
he always believed that his apprentice was innocent.
You also have to remember that this situation was partially orchestrated by Chancellor Palpatine
himself, as Commander Fox reported directly to him.
Following the incident at the Jedi temple, Commander Fox was ordered to hunt down another
fugitive of the Republic, this time, ARC Trooper Fives.
Because Fives had discovered the truth about the inhibitor chips inside of every single
clone in the Grand army of the Republic and plot to destroy the Jedi, Palpatine personally
designated him a fugitive of the Republic.
Palpatine framed Fives, claiming he attempted to assassinate him while in a meeting to discuss
the true purpose of the chips.
This eventually led to Fives making an escape into the lower levels of Coruscant, where
he was eventually confronted by Anakin, Rex and of course, Commander Fox.
After unsuccessfully attempting to explain himself to the group, Fives drew his blaster
on Fox, forcing him to tragically take the life of Fives.
This again deeply angered Anakin, who held Fives in an extremely high respect, as one
of the most loyal and beloved members of the 501st.
This is the last time we see commander Fox on screen, so what exactly happened to him
after this, and how did Anakin feel about his actions against the people he cared about?
During Order 66 and the early stages of the Great Jedi Purge, Commander Fox participated
in the Order and followed it’s command on Coruscant, along with the other Clones in
his legion.
Under Palpatine’s order, he recognized that the Jedi Order had attempted to overthrow
the Chancellor illegally, regarding them as traitors to the Republic.
Although we don’t know the specific Jedi victims, we do know that Commander Fox killed
many Jedi in cold blood on Coruscant, during the events of Order 66.
In the 2017 Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith Comic, Vader asks Fox whether or not
he participated in Order 66.
Fox coldy responds “Yes, I was here on Coruscant.
Did my part-- All the Clones did”
Shortly after the events of ORder 66 and the Republic’s transformation into the Galactic
empire, Commander Fox and the Coruscant guard were still being utilised by Palpatine and
Vader, as personal protection on Coruscant.
On one morning, Fox and his now Imperial Shock troopers were patrolling the grounds of Coruscant,
when they encountered a strange figure.
This figure was none other than former Jedi Master and Librarian of the Jedi Temple, Jocasta
Nu.
The librarian used a mind trick to get past Commander Fox and his imperial shock troopers,
infiltrating the JEdi temple through a secret doorway.
Not long after after her presence was discovered inside of the temple, Darth Vader was alerted,
and ordered Commander Fox to lock down the perimeter.
Fox obeyed Vader’s order and deployed two full companies from the Coruscant Guard, along
with the Coruscant security force to investigate.
Before entering the temple to Capture Jocasta Nu, Vader orders Commander Fox and his Clone
Shock troopers to remain outside of the temple, while he sends the Grand Inquisitor inside
to deal with her.
The Grand inquisitor is only moments away from slicing Jocasta Nu into pieces, but Darth
Vader places his own red blade in front of her, saving her life.
The Grand Inquisitor is shocked at this decision to spare her, but Vader has a bigger plan
in mind.
And if you do read the comic, you’ll see that Vader gets extremely angry with the Grand
Inquisitor because he allows the librarian to escape through his stubbornness.
It really is a great comic, you guys should definitely check it out.
Following this, Commander Fox’s troopers make a grave mistake.
As Jocasta Nu is escaping from the Jedi temple, with Vader chasing her, they mistake the Sith
Lord for a Jedi Master.
(That’s really gotta burn for Anakin under that suit).
Vader was understandably outraged at Commander fox, demanding to know why he didn’t inform
his men about Vader’s presence.
Fox attempted to defend his actions, but Vader did not accept his excuses.
Vader choked commander Fox with extreme power, brutally breaking his neck and killing him
instantly…
Wow…
Darth Vader does not mess around.
Darth Vader’s extreme rage for the mistreatment of Ahsoka and the killing of fives ultimately
came together with this final mistake, causing Vader to snap at Commander Fox.
So that is exactly what happened to Commander Fox after the Clone Wars Season 7 and Order
66.
We will definitely not be seeing any more of him in the future.
So let me know what you think of Commander Fox?
Did you like him as a Clone, or did you always hate him after what he did to Ahsoka and Fives.
