Thorn

"For the Republic!"

- Thorn

Thorn was a Republic clone commander of the Coruscant Guard during the Clone Wars.

Equipment
Commander Thorn wore a red and white helmet with a black visor, which matched the coloring of the rest of his armor. He wielded a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon which he named "The Hammer."

Crisis at the Heart
Commander Thorn was in charge of the Coruscant Guard detachment that escorted Senator Amidala to Scipio. With a financial crisis at hand, the Republic was sent to the planet to aid in the negotiations. However, Rush Clovis took control of the Banking Clan, and an attack on Scipio commenced. Thorn warned Amidala of the invasion as Droid Bombers descended on the landing platform. He ordered his men to evacuate, but they were too late. Their gunships and cruiser were destroyed. Outnumbered, Thorn and the rest of the survivors made their last stand. Thorn managed to survive the longest before being surrounded and killed.

Trivia

 * Thorn is a direct homage to the Marvel Studios character Thor: God of Thunder and his rotary cannon nicknamed "The Hammer." The character was created by Dave Filoni as so many members of the Clone Wars team, including director Leland Chee, were fans of the comic series and film, The Avengers.


 * He was scheduled to debut in Season 5, but his story arc was moved to Season 6.
