"Shattered" Episode Guide | The Clone Wars - Season 7, Episode 11

As Rex continues to search for Maul and Tano, one of Ahsoka's droids suddenly blocks his path. Then, the other astromechs seal the blast doors around him. R7-A7 plays a transmission from Ahsoka, who says that she's seen Rex's report on Fives -- the clones were programmed to turn on the Jedi. "I can help you," she says to Rex. When Tano reveals herself, standing right behind Rex, a droid stuns the commander and they carry him to the medical bay.

The droids scan Rex looking for the chip, but time is running out as the clones work on opening the door. Unable to detect a foreign device, Ahsoka gently touches Rex's face and repeats the words, "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me." Soon, Rex chants in unison, and the chip appears on-screen. "R7, get him under and remove that thing," Ahsoka commands, unsure if he'll survive the procedure.

Tano readies her lightsabers as the clones break through. She deflects their attacks with amazing skill and precision, but there are too many, and the blasts drive her back. Suddenly, however, the clones fall as cover shots are fired from behind her, and R7 locks the door.

Rex, waking from the surgery, saved his friend. He apologizes for what he had tried to do, and relays the horror of Order 66. "Ahsoka, it's all of us," he says. "The entire Grand Army of the Republic has been ordered to hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights."

The Jedi holoconference featured here is the same call seen from another point of view in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. "Shattered," however, reveals that the meeting was actually longer than originally thought.

While Ahsoka senses a disturbance in the Force involving Anakin, she does not completely understand it. But the tremor she feels is Anakin's turn to the dark side -- complete with audio from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Rex tells Ahsoka, “Find him...Fives!” He’s referring to CT-5555, the ARC trooper who discovered the secret of the inhibitor chips installed in each clone trooper. These events can be seen in the Lost Missions episode, “Orders."

Ahsoka’s faithful droid R7-A7 returns in this episode along with new friends RG-G1 and CH-33P, a.k.a. “Cheep,” a C1-model droid similar to Chopper from Star Wars Rebels.

With auxiliary arms on his head, Cheep is closer to the original Ralph McQuarrie designs for R2-D2 than any droid in Star Wars. (Besides Artoo himself, of course.)

Ahsoka repeats the Guardian’s mantra, “I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me”, first heard uttered by Chirrut Îmwe in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

We don’t get more than a glimpse of Darth Sidious in "Shattered," but his head and robe were redesigned to match his look in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith -- complete with forehead wrinkles and Sith eyes.

As revealed in this episode, Rex is the first of three known clones who removed their inhibitor chips. The others? Gregor and Wolffe, who will go on to battle the Empire alongside Rex in Star Wars Rebels.

"Ahsoka's world is literally shattering in this episode." - Ashley Eckstein ("Ahsoka Tano")

"I tried to show that there was some part of Rex that was still lingering there, fighting back." - Dee Bradley Baker ("Rex" and all clones)

"In that moment, clone troopers become stormtroopers. And that's what Dave always wanted to try and get across. It's not about emotion at that point. It's like, 'I just need to get my job done.'" - Keith Kellogg (Animation Supervisor)

"When Rex comes out of it, and they've removed the chip, that's such a great relief to me personally. To bring him back to who he is, and what he wants, and what he should be, it's a marvelous moment." - Dee Bradley Baker ("Rex" and all clones)
