After Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 released and tied the series perfectly into Revenge
of the Sith, many of us still have one big question remaining.
What happened to Clone Trooper Kix after the End of the Clone Wars Season 7.
Is Kix Still alive after the Battle of Endor, just like Captain Rex?
I’m going to break down exactly what happened to Kix after he became suspicious of the inhibitor
chips inside of every Clone, and where he ended up..

Not long after the Battle of Anaxes, where Kix fought alongside the Bad Batch, he started
to become suspicious of the reasoning behind the killing of Jedi Master Tiplar, by fellow
Clone Trooper Tup, at the battle of Ringo Vinda.
He began to conduct an investigation into the incident after he had discovered that
Fives may have known the truth behind the killing.
Eventually, Kix did learn the truth about the inhibitor chips inside of the heads of
every single Clone, and knew of the order to eliminate the Jedi, Order 66.
His investigation of the inhibitor chips did not go unnoticed for long, with Count Dooku
taking notice of the investigation.
After learning that Kix’s knowledge of the chips was far greater than they ever expected
the Clones to Discover, he ordered his Separatist droids to kidnap him immediately, to prevent
him from informing the Jedi order.
After his capture, The separatists then interrogated Kix to find out whether or not he had spread
the information to anyone else within the Republic.
Kix however, had an extremely tough resolve and refused to give any information to his
interrogaters, even under heavy torture.
This led the separatists to transport him back to Count Dooku personally, for even more
intense interrogation.
Leave a comment below if you know how Count Dooku likes to interrogate his prisoners,
I’m sure you can guess.
They then stored Kix aboard a Separatist cruiser known as the Obrexta III, where he was frozen
and placed into a cryo-stasis pod, freezing him until his arrival on the homeworld of
Count Dooku, Serenno.
Moments after the Separatist cruiser took off, it was ambushed by Republic forces, with
the shields being lowered and in an extremely vulnerable state.
The Republic forces obliterated the cruiser, resulting in loss of primary engine thrust.
The separatist droids aboard the ship made the swift decision to send the ship into Hyperspace,
regardless of the severe damage it was carrying, taking the sheep deep into a random sector
of the Galaxy, where the Republic would have no chance of finding it.
The separatist droids only did this, because their orders from Dooku stated “do not let
Kix fall into the hands of the Republic, at any cost”.
After a long trip in hyperspace, the cruiser burst out near the desert planet of Ponemah,
where it made a brutal crash landing on the surface.
The ship and all of the droids on board lost power and would remain lifeless for many,
many years after.
Kix was also stuck, frozen within his stasis chamber aboard the crashed ship.
Although Dooku was never able to capture and interrogate Kix, his freezing aboard the separatist
cruiser for many years meant that the Jedi never discovered Order 66 and were not able
to prevent it.
Exactly 50 years after the end of the Clone Wars, a Delphidian pirate named Sidon Ithano
or the Crimson Corsair, and his crew were drinking in a cantina on Ponemah, the same
planet where Kix was frozen alive.
While on the planet, the band of pirates managed to discover and decode a residual emergency
signal coming from the ship, which dated all the way back to the Clone Wars.
As the ship was crashing, B1-CC14, a Separatist battle droid, desperately sent out this distress
signal.
The pirates traced the signal all the way to the wreckage of the crashed separatist
cruiser, where they were forced to fight off other bands of pirates and mercenaries who
had also discovered the crashed wreckage of the ship.
Once the Crimson Corsair and his crew arrived at the wreckage, they were shocked to discover
that there was no treasure at all, but instead a cryo stasis pod.
The group decided to awaken the cryo pod, in which Kix emerged after 50 long years of
being frozen…
Wow what an amazing journey for Kix.
Such a beloved clone, frozen for 50 years.
As Kix awoke from his long slumber, he was shocked and began rambling in nonsensical
words, urgently attempting to inform the pirates about what happened.
Once he was able to speak properly again, he told the pirates that he had learned a
shocking truth about every single Clone In the Grand Army of the Republic.
He told them how he was kidnapped after Count Dooku discovered that he knew about Order
66 and was a major threat to the plan.
Kix, of course, had no idea just how long he had been frozen in the wreckage of the
ship, making him call for General Anakin Skywawlker so that he could inform him about Order 66.
This is absolutely tragic, knowing that Anakin did in fact participate in Order 66 and stormed
the Jedi temple.
As Kix was explaining the whole situation to the bewildered Pirates, B1-CC14, the battle
droid who sent the ship into hyperspace, awoke from his low power mode and triggered an emergency
protocol on the ship, which awoke all of the other droids on board.
This began to make the ship crumble, forcing the pirates to grab hold of Kix and escape
the crumbling wreckage.
They rushed to the escape pods of the ship, hoping to blast away from the wreckage before
it exploded.
Unfortunately for the group, there was not enough room for every pirate, causing the
Crimson Corsair to bravely shove his men and Kix into the pod, while standing to face his
destiny on board the wreckage.
Over the next three weeks, the pirate crew remained stationed on the desert planet, waiting
for the return of their captain.
Kix was still in a massively deep shock over everything that had happened and everything
he was learning about the history of the galaxy during his time frozen.
He was also extremely upset at himself for being unable to stop the destruction of the
Jedi order.
The crew are then shocked and excited to witness the return of their Captain, the Crimson Corsair.
He arrived just as they were about to give up hope and leave the desert world.
During his time stuck on the cruiser wreckage, he uncovered a separatist memory core which
contained a complete map to every hidden droid factory ever built by the Separatist alliance.
After handing this information to Kix, he offers the Clone trooper a position within
his pirate crew, to which he gladly accepts, having no other purpose now that the Clone
Wars have long passed.
After joining the Crimson Corsair’s crew, Kix stopped shaving his head, growing out
his thick black hair and a long beard.
At some point down the line, Kix and the Corsair, alongside a Red Twi’Lek known as Reveth
were ambushed by B1 battle droids while they were patrolling a misty swamp.
These droids were now considered ancient relics of the Clone Wars.
And that is exactly what happened to Clone Trooper Kix after the end of Clone Wars Season
7 and Order 66.
Overall, I really hope Kix’s story with his new band of pirates is continued through
the comics and further TV series..
But let me know what you think!
Do you think Kix will outlive Rex, who fought at the Battle of Endor, or do you think Kix
will last much longer because his aging was frozen inside of the cryo tank?
I’m sure we’ll get a whole lot more answers about this question very soon either way,
