Commander Gree is a fictional character from the Star Wars films.

Description and history

Gree was the nickname of clone trooper CC-1004. He served Master Yoda on the planet Kashyyyk during the events of Revenge of the Sith .

He was a clone commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars. Gree was born and raised on the planet Kamino as a clone of bounty hunter Jango Fett, and under the command of Jedi General Luminara Unduli, Gree led 41.er Elite Corps in various battles. After Padmé Amidala and Jar Jar Binks successfully captured Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray on Rodia, Gree was tasked with escorting the Viceroy to Coruscant. However, Gree failed and Gunray escaped with the help of Asajj Ventress and Senate Commando Captain Faro Argyus.

Later in the war, Gree and Unduli commanded the 41st at the Second Battle of Geonosis. Along with the 501st Legion, led by Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex, they led an attack on Poggle the Lesser's droid foundry in an attempt to provide a diversion for Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee. The diversion was successful and Tano and Offee were able to destroy the foundry and the newly produced Separatist Super tanks.

In the final days of the Clone Wars, Gree and Unduli were present on Kashyyyk, where they aided the Wookiees in their defense against the Separatist Droid Army. Jedi Grand Master Yoda had also arrived on the planet and he and Gree watched the battle unfold from an elevated command center. Gree received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (secretly allied with the Dark Side) during the battle, which ordered him to eliminate the Jedi Generals from him. Gree was forced to comply, but before he could carry out the order, Yoda sensed a disturbance in the Force and quickly decapitated the commander and another clone trooper. In the end Yoda fled the planet in an escape pod helped by two Wookiees: Chewbacca (Han Solo's friend) and Tarfull.
