  Star Wars: Databank | Cody, Clone Commander
Clone Commander Cody, also known as unit 2224, was a loyal clone trooper serving the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.
Cody was often under the command of General Obi-Wan Kenobi, and served with him and Anakin Skywalker during a nearly disastrous campaign on Cato Neimoidia.
Cody was ultimately subservient to the orders of the Republic, and when Order 66 was enacted -- branding Kenobi an enemy of the state -- Cody willingly carried out the command to open fire on his former friend.

 Commando Cody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commando Cody was the hero in a 12-episode science-fiction serial made in 1952 by Republic Pictures, entitled Radar Men from the Moon and a followup 1953 set of 12 short-subjects (or 12 cliffhangerless serial chapters) collectively called the adventures of Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe.
Commando Cody serials are sometimes confused to include King of the Rocket Men (1949), because a rocket-powered flying suit worn by the title character also became a wardrobe piece worn by Cody.
The strange character name "Commando Cody" was probably an attempt to make children think they were going to see the adventures of Commander Corry, the hero of the ABC TV and radio series Space Patrol (1950 - 1955).

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Commander Cody
Cody's original "contribution to rock culture" was to prove to the ignorant that there were good truckdriving songs besides "Six Days on the Road," but on Licks he serves up these songs like a cold plate of scrambled eggs at the start of a long day's run.
The Commander seems to be felting us that if you play truckdriving music, you immerse yourself in the genre, you go around wearing bandeaus and you don't question why truckdriving music sounds the way it does.
To do that Cody would have had to choose the best elements of truckdriving music as he saw them and extend them to their logical conclusion through a different musical style.

 "Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe" (1953)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I have seen Commando Cody panned as crude, stiff, simplistic, etc but in my youth this was pretty exciting.
The scenes where Cody and crew pull up to their space ship, get in, then you see the rocket start to move with no obvious cuts-back in 1955, you thought you were seeing the Real Thing.
I also recall a scene where Cody in his rocket is pursuing the Bad Guys rocket, the latter had a dorsal turret with ray guns, for those of us growing up in the Afterglow of WWII, that was something familiar and realistic.

 Jango Fett v. Commander Cody
Cody manages to destroy the droid before taking cover behind the Separatist conference table, and also manages to damage Fett's booster pack, ruining his distinct aerial advantage.
Cody preps his blaster rifle for battle, and realizes that he must be on his guard if he is to defeat one of the most dangerous men in the galaxy.
Cody is a better leader and a better soldier perhaps, but Jango Fett is the real deal and he excels at the hunt.

 Interview With Commander Cody
I was watching the Lost Planet Airmen movie and I saw the Commander Cody character and I thought it would be a great name for a band.
When it became apparent that I'd have to become Commander Cody, 'cause all the guys in the band who wanted to be Commander Cody would've been out of the question.
So, the band voted me that I would have to be Commander Cody because I could basically talk fast and had a good rap and gave pretty good radio.

 Commander Cody: Flying Dreams
Commander Cody (aka George Frayne) and the Lost Planet Airmen were formed in Ann Arbor, MI in the late sixties.
Shortly after the album came out, the Commander himself was quoted distancing himself from the "Carnival" cover, by claiming his producer John Hug forced him to do it to sell records to Band freaks.
The Commander's heart wasn't in it apparently because he knew he couldn't touch the Allen Toussaint-arranged original, and he didn't.

Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen were formed in Ann Arbor, MI in the late sixties.

 JS Online: On Stage: Commander Cody
Back when he started in the mid-1960s, in Ann Arbor, Mich., Commander Cody - nee George Frayne - and his loyal backing band, the Lost Planet Airmen, were sort of the Midwest's answer to Frank Zappa: bizarro rock with a rootsy twist.
By 1967, Cody and his troops scored nationally with the novelty hit "Hot Rod Lincoln" - and went on to live and nearly die a few times by the jolt of notoriety the song brought.
In the decades since "Hot Rod Lincoln" hit the top 10, Cody and the numerous rock combos and orchestras he's commandeered have gained tons of critical praise for their inspired and unpredictable live shows and mastery of roots-rock styles.

At the other end of the decade from Commander Cody's influential early records, the 1977 threat to Rock 'n Roll Again is very short on sidemen associated with the original version of the group.
What is presented as the "new" Commander Cody band is in turn long on sidemen drawn from the same pool that fed various versions of New Riders of the Purple Sage, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Jefferson Starship.
"Pretty well tamed" is nonetheless how a fan of Commander Cody described this album in the scheme of things, since moments of tight, exciting synchronized instrumental interplay are likely to lead to passages that have all the momentum of a load-bearing wall.

In the late ’60s/early ’70s, Frayne left his job as an art professor at Wisconsin State University to front the boogie-woogie rock and roll outfit Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, landing a dedicated, ahem, grassroots following, a short string of novelty hits and one hell of a list of stories along the way.
The original lineup, of course, disbanded in 1976, but Frayne has toured and recorded with a rotating cast of players known as the Commander Cody Band ever since, the most recent combination having performed together for the past seven years.
Now, one might assume the Commander’s goals have shifted after 40 years of some of the most wild road tales in rock and roll history (see also: mescaline, see also: the Berkeley Riots).
