Corporal Echo (designation number CT-21-0408,[1] sometimes CT-1409[2]) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He first appears in The Clone Wars season one in the episode "Rookies" as a regular trooper. Echo is a clone trooper of the Grand Army of the Republic, cloned from the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, and serves the Galactic Republic alongside fellow ARC trooper Fives. He and his unit are assigned to the remote listening outpost on Rishi moon that is invaded by Separatist droids. Though the invasion is successfully repelled, only Echo and Fives survive, and they are reassigned to the 501st Legion. The season three episode "Clone Cadets" depicts Echo and his unit as cadets in training on Kamino. The unit, called Domino squad, is initially unable to work together to pass their final test. Echo and Fives feel weighed down by the others in the squad and ask to be reassigned, but the request is denied. Under the advice of Jedi General Shaak Ti, Echo and Fives recommit themselves to Domino, and the squad is able to pass. Echo and Fives are eventually promoted to ARC troopers together for their actions while defending Kamino and continue serving with the 501st. Echo is apparently killed in an explosion during a rescue operation in the season three episode "Counter Attack".
Story reels for a previously unfinished four-episode arc called "Bad Batch" (initially part of The Clone Wars Legacy project, the episodes were later released on Disney+ in their completed state) revealed that Echo survived and was captured by the Separatists. He was modified into a cyborg able to communicate directly to computers and tasked with decoding the Republic strategy algorithm. Echo is rescued by Captain Rex, and with his ability to understand Separatist transmissions, he plays a key role in the Battle of Anaxes, earning a victory against the Separatists and the title “The Hero of Anaxes”. After the mission, the former ARC trooper Echo decided to join Clone Force 99. He remained with them beyond the end of the Clone Wars and avoided obeying Order 66 like most of them, though this was mainly due to his inhibitor chip being damaged during Separatist captivity, rather than their mutations allowing them to resist it. He followed Clone Force 99 loyally as they deserted from the Empire, protected the unaccelerated female clone Omega, confronted the rogue squadmate Crosshair who submitted to the Empire and survived the destruction of Tipoca City, capital of Kamino.
Echo's armor bears blue markings, and a blue handprint adorns his chest-plate, created when Rex touched it while covered in eel blood during Echo's first mission. After his promotion to ARC trooper, Echo also wears light gray pauldrons on his shoulders and a kilt-like kama painted in an asymmetrical white and blue design. Later, after his rescue from Separatist capture, he is visibly a cyborg, with various apparatus protruding from his head and a droid plug in place of his right hand; post-rescue, he takes to wearing what appears to be a stripped-down variant on standard Phase II armor. Throughout his appearances, he is characterized as one who strictly follows orders, regulations, and protocol. Echo's name is given to him by Domino squad on Kamino as a sarcastic reference to his tendency to immediately repeat orders, even if his squad already heard.
