Why was Rex a Captain and not a Commander?

Cuz he has more than enough experience and great leadership skills to be a Commander!

But there was one thing that stood in his way from ranking up.

And that thing is actually Ahsoka Tano!

Yeah!

See, the official hierarchy for the 501st legion was Anakin Skywalker as the general, Ahsoka Tano as commander and right under her is Rex as captain!

And since Ahsoka filled in the spot for commander, Rex couldn’t take that next step!

Until Ahsoka left that spot open!

Cuz in the 7th season of the Clone Wars show, Ahsoka isn’t considered a Jedi which means she couldn’t be part of the Republic military anymore.

And since she wasn’t considered as a leader, Rex finally got promoted and received the rank of Commander until he was demoted and charged for treason for helping Ahsoka escape Order 66!
