* Howser is an amazing revelation when you think about it. Everything about him, his painted armor, his nonstandard hair, his "human" demeanor and his value of people over rules. All adds up to a "Free" Clone. Whether his chip isn't functioning right or was never activated, this is groundbreaking.
** That he stands beside Imperials without this freewill being "corrected" implies it will not be, at least for now. It implies that there is a window for Brothers like Howser to escape the Empire.

** We can even trace it back, one of Jango's conditions for his participation in the creation of the Clone Army was the creation of Boba, an unaltered clone to raise as a son, indicating Jango's own paternal instincts, which in turn we see reflecet in the rest of his clones.

* Hemlock unable to explain to Tarkin why he needs extra funds while at the same time being in Palpatine's favor on this matter doesn't bode well for him. Palpatine wants Project Necromancer to be successful, but that doesn't mean he wants ''Hemlock'' to be successful. After all, everyone save the Emperor is an expendable, and replacable asset.

* Rex gives Wolffe, who was acting on orders to retrieve Omega. They have a heart to heart conversation about following orders, which Wolffe has always been trained not to question, and it's proven to be a tough pill to swallow. In light of this, it's quite understandable why Wolffe reported the ''Ghost'' Crew's presence in ''Rebels''; despite it being laid out what the Empire is doing to the people, his service to the Empire was all he's ever known, and his sense of duty to it is hard to shake.

* Rex mentions to the Batch that they’re lucky, as very few clones are immune to Order 66, and that it’s rare. This implies he’s met others who didn’t carry out the Order. Both Gregor and Wolffe are shown with scars on their heads in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', but Wolffe is shown to be paranoid about the Jedi coming back for revenge, and WordOfGod has suggested that he did execute Order 66 before having his chip taken out. Gregor on the other hand is in a similar, but not quite as extreme a situation as Echo. Given his previous amnesia in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars '' and his CloudCuckooLander status in ''Rebels'', it’s not impossible to think Gregor has suffered enough traumatic brain injuries that his chip never engaged. If Gregor is who Rex was referring to, it’s odd that he says he’s never been on the other side of the procedure, as he puts his hand on his blaster as soon as he finds out that the Batch haven’t removed theirs yet.
* Some might question the convent for the plot timing of Wrecker's inhibitor chip activating just before they were about the remove it but aside from it continuously getting worse and more effective in Wrecker. Rex mentioned Order 66 by name and Hunter mentioned that they helped Kaleb Dume escape on Kaller. Which are two things that would have definitely sent the inhibitor chip programming into overdrive. Which is supported by controlled Wrecker telling Tech he is in violation of Order 66.

* Grotton telling a TK Stormtrooper not to unbuckle him from his seat on the arriving Nu-class attack/transport shuttle may seem petty and childish, but it's TruthInTelevison that an occupant of an airplane or other civilian/military aircraft must stay seated until it has landed in Desix.

* The Zillo Beast's ability to feed on electricity was earlier foreshadowed in the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. When Doctor Boll administered the poison to kill the Zillo Beast, we see a brief scene of the energy from the restraints that held the creature being absorbed into it. Doctor Boll was shock the poison wasn't working, not knowing that it did but the Zillo Beast used the absorbed energy to reenergized itself and countered the poison's effects on it.

* The clone commandos seen at the Imperial Facility when Nala Se arrives all have gray markings on their armor, which is similar (particularly on the legs) to the Kamino Security clone troopers. A year prior, she would have seen these clones as her protectors, now they’re her jailers.
