Star Wars has provided a definitive structure for the clone army and the many different types of clones, courtesy of Captain Rex himself. Introduced in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, the Grand Army of the Republic may consist of clones - but they are not all created equally. The Kaminoans genetically engineered certain clones with specific skillsets and abilities , and trained different clones for specific ranks.

In this case, his genes had been manipulated to make him one of the best marksmen among the clones. 2 Other Specialist Clone Types Close There were other clones who received specific training.
