Colonel Meebur Gascon was a minor supporting character from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and was the main protagonist of the D-squad 4-part arc in Season 5. He was the leader of the titular squad during a top-secret mission to steal a decoding module from a vault inside an enemy battleship.
He was voiced by Stephen Stanton.
What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- He's commonly despised by viewers for spending most of his screentime complaining about what the droids are doing even if they are doing it right and have proved multiple times to be very useful. He also throws a huge tantrum every time something goes wrong while the droids keep saving the situation and every time he seems to have learned to appreciate them, he's back to be a bad in the next episode.
- He's also incredibly arrogant and egocentric for someone who hasn't been in any missions before the events of the episode and was mostly a map reader as is stated multiple times in the episode.
- Is heavily implied his arrogance is an act to try to hide his insecurity over his size and his lack of achievements but is hard to find him sympathetic when all he does in most of his screentime is being a huge jerkass to everyone he meets and doesn't respect the droids that have being saving their lives for the whole arc.
- The worst example of this is the very second episode of the arc A Sunny Day in the Void, while the rest of the group are trying to find a way to leave the desert, he throws another tantrum and sits with WAC-47 in total despair until they just happen to find a local animal that guides them to water but when they get there the rest of the D-squad is already in that place meaning they would have being fine if they didn't just start making drama at a bad moment and followed the group.
- Is very hard to even enjoy when things don't go his way for how louder and more annoying he becomes when that happens.
- He's also a complete coward, commonly running away and cowering every time things go south and is the first to suggest giving up when things are too hard.
- He can come up as hypocrite sometimes. He chews out Gregor's master for treating Gregor as a slave right after he explained in detail how the Republic treats an army of clone troopers as slaves that are created for the sole purpose of killing and dying to protect it.
- Beyond how unappealing the character is, the storyline he's a protagonist of is simply not so good. The mission isn't that interesting and is resolved in the very first episode with the next three episodes getting trapped on Abafar, seeking escape (eventually succeeding) and getting attacked during the homecoming.
- On top of it all, he dares to be the one to complain when he's assigned definitely with the D-squad despite how much of a pain in the ass he was for the whole mission.
- His design is also hideous to look at for a character meant to be the protagonist not helped by the design being based on a rejected design of Jar Jar Binks.
- While neither Legends nor Canon books have said what happen to him after the rise of the Empire is mentioned that Tarkin strongly disliked him probably meaning he's not part of the army anymore, whatever that means he joined the rebels or died is unknown, but fans hope is the latter.
- The complementary book Droidography describes D-Squad as an "all-droid rebel force" heavily implying he's not longer a part of the group and with a good reason.
