“An unusual picture made just as a Soviet airman leaped from his aeroplane during the recent gigantic manoeuvres of the Red Army on the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of the revolution. As yet he has failed to pull his rip cord and should he forget to do that little thing, you may rest assured that you are going upon his last jump. However, in cases such as this, airmen are not in the habit of becoming absent-minded.”

- from the Kingston Whig-Standard. February 21, 1933. Page 11.

1939 Coney Island Parachute Jump at NY World’s Fair by Vinnie DeVille Via Flickr: Vintage image of what would eventually become the Coney Island Parachute Jump in its original incarnation as the Life Savers Candy Parachute Jump at the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. This is a scan of a found photograph that was not very clear but I was able to make a few adjustments. Still a nice look back for those that have interest. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

I wish there existed less life threatening ways for human bodies to fly

None of the clone troopers have ever spoken Mando'a in canon, however Rex has called people "kid", including several clones, Ahsoka, and Ezra. We also hear Cody refer to his subordinates as "kid" as well, and once he refers to another clone as "son" (Chopper in the Hidden Enemy)

Additionally, in the 'The Deserter', Rex explains that he is fighting so "our children and their children [won't] be forced to live under an evil I can't well imagine." When Cut points out that Rex can't have kids, as it's against the rules, Rex responds that "it doesn't matter if it's my children or other people's children." He is not denying that he doesn't have kids, but instead implying that he sees no different between his own offspring and others'.

Therefore, there is technically more textual evidence to support the headcanon that Rex would be referred to as "Dad" instead of "ori'vod" should a member of the 501st require a familiar nickname for him. In this essay I will examine the significance of this moniker in relation to Captain Rex, and expand upon how this may change our understanding of the GAR's interpersonal relationships

"GIRL DROPS IN ON MOSCOW," Montreal Star. August 4, 1933. Page 5. ---- A leap into space two miles over Moscow! Thus the cameraman records a remarkable action closeup as Claudia Schacht, Russian girl parachute jumper, tugs at her rip cord as she begins her hazardous descent.

If you don't succeed the first time, then parachuting is not for you
