Episode 9 Stormtrooper research (Caution Spoilers Ahead)

[Krisko720]

We had TK variants for ANH, ESB and ROTJ. After TFA and TLJ it’s a shame we won’t have a TROS version of the CRL unless this extends specifically to Electroprod troopers only.

So weird consider Episode VII and Episode VII both took place during 34 ABY (estimated to be around 2 days between films) yet somehow you see a change in the armor.

Episode IX takes place about a year later, 35 ABY, and they still have the same gear.

The First Order must’ve had some budget cuts or dumped their money into building new trooper variants.

I’m still not convinced the Sith Troopers are part of the First Order. Has this been discussed? I think it’s a separate army altogether, of course purchased from the same supplier, that have been hanging out with Sidious and his fleet of Imperial Starships.

I’m kinda hoping for a Sith vs First Order throw down. Trooper vs Trooper would be interesting.

The Sith Troopers are an elite army who have been awaiting the call. They are lots to Kylo and the Knights ofRen.

Whilst imposing they prove no more effective than regular troopers.

Sith Troopers+First Order=Final Order

What?? I was not aware of this. That’s crazy flexible. Is all of the armor this way? What material is that?

Yes, it was a new technique created for TLJ armour. It’s polyurethane. Feels like holding a rubber car mat. Quite heavy but very flexible. Still prone to wear and tear, and when it rips it is done for. They produced over 100 ST kits for TROS - far more than FOs for TLJ.

Here are some more glimpses of the new troopers!

 

[Krisko720]

So.. at least we know that the Sith Trooper armor can’t withstand a lightsaber! Lol

And my goodness, they’ve really nailed the graphics. The closeups of all the characters are spot on!

I played this game when it first came out. These expansions really make me want to play it again.

Or perhaps for working out in the gym?

This wouldn’t last two seconds in my house. My pups would claim it as their own.

I’m guessing this is some sort of explosive charge? I haven’t seen these weapons anywhere. This one or the staff.

I just saw the movie, am I allowed to talk about it here? With spoilers?

Title contains a spoiler warning. Those usually got a reason to exist....

[LEGOeatPokemon[TK]]

Yeah, just making sure

[LEGOeatPokemon[TK]]

Anyway, I found that there was not that much more footage of the sithtroopers other than what has been in the trailers. I think they had more shots with regular troopers, rather than the new ones.

[LEGOeatPokemon[TK]]

They were mostly in the background, what I can remember

[JAFO[TK]]

Sith Troopers were focused on marketing and toy sales.

Yeah, I guess so. Shame anyway

There is footage that looks to have wound up on the cutting room floor, pretty standard for all movies, so I dare say watch out for deleted scenes on one of the many format releases of Blu ray Digital and 4KHD releases over the next year.

There’s minutes of footage for sure.

If it is the Jet and Sith Jet Troopers you are referring to, you would need to ask Spec Opps Detachment that question as I believe they would be the ones to covert this costume
