*The 501st is boarding the gunships after a battle*
Anakin: *sees something moving inside Fives's backpack*
Anakin: hey Fives, whatcha got there?
Fives, panicking: a smoothie, sir!
Gizka in the backpack: *happy gizka noises*
Ahsoka: what?
Anakin:
Anakin: I'm sorry Fives, but you can't keep pets, it's against the regulations
Fives: *sigh* I understand, sir, I will give it back
Gizka: *pokes head outside the backpack*
Ahsoka: aaw, it's so cute! can we keep it?
Anakin: pets are against the rules and, if I let Fives keep it, everyone will want one too, besides Obi-wan will have my head if I keep ignoring the rules, so no, sorry snips
Ahsoka: *sad puppy eyes*
Anakin: no is no, I'm sorry
Ahsoka: *elbows Fives*
Fives: *sad puppy eyes*
Anakin: *struggling* I will not yield
Every other clone in the gunship: *sad puppy eyes*
Anakin: no, I am a Jedi knight, I am stronger than this
Gizka: *copies everyone else*
Anakin: we can't keep pets
Everyone: *sad noises*
Anakin: however!
Everyone: *looks up*
Anakin: as the General, I CAN recruit republican citizens as officers in my legion
Everyone: *gasp*
Anakin: *looking at the gizka* congratulations on your promotion, lieutenant!
Everyone: *cheers*

Obi-wan: *annoyed mom look* Anakin
Anakin: so... fun story, actually...

To this day Marshall Commander Cazul remains one of the most decorated veterans of the Clone Wars, and the most mysterious individual in the Imperial databases, nobody knows for sure who was Cazul before joining the 501st, how he looked, or where he went after his retirement, when the war ended, but his legacy lives on every Imperial cadet who grows up dreaming of being just like him.
