- "Cody, get the tanks down. Come in, Cody!"
- ―Jet, trying to contact Commander Cody during the Second Battle of Geonosis
Jet, designated CC-1993, was a Clone Commander who served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He led a battalion of clone flametroopers and special ops clone troopers during the Second Battle of Geonosis against the Confederacy of Independent Systems[1] under Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi.[7]
Biography
Jet served under Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi and was part of the Republic forces attacking the desert planet Geonosis. He and the rest of the Republic troops used Republic gunships to make their way to Point Rain, but heavy anti-aircraft fire from J-1 proton cannons stalled their forces. As they reassembled their troops, Jet requested air support from Admiral Wullf Yularen, but Yularen informed him that they could not as it would overextend their forces. Eventually, Jet met up with Mundi and a group of clone flametroopers, who followed Mundi into a cave that Mundi believed would be the quickest route to the rendezvous point. They fought off Geonosians and rejoined the others at Point Rain where, after air support from Republic BTL Y-wing starfighters, regrouped to attack the Geonosis primary droid foundry.[7]
Personality and traits
As a clone of Jango Fett,[3] Jet was a human[1] male[2] who stood 1.83 meters, or 6 feet tall,[3] and weighted 80 kilograms.[4] During the battle, Jet gave Mundi a report about the status of the mission, mentioning all necessary facts. He obeyed the orders given to him by Mundi and understood Admiral Yularen's argumentation of why air support was limited. Before the Second Battle of Geonosis, Jet and Mundi worked for hours to ensure that they were prepared for anything during the mission.[7]
Skills and abilities
Jet was proficient in both starfighter and starship piloting, as well as military tactics.[3]
Equipment
The clone commander sported a kama used a pair of DC-17 repeater hand blasters in combat on Geonosis. Jet wore an orange set of phase I clone trooper armor.[7]
Behind the scenes
Jet first appeared in "Landing at Point Rain,"[7] the fifth episode in Season Two of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, which premiered on November 4, 2009.[8]
In Stuart Beattie's script for what ultimately became Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+, a team of ten clone troopers, who served directly under the Third Sister Inquisitor, were led by, in his words, "a guy named Commander Jet."[9]
