As far as I know the Red Fury troopers were just in regular FO armor.  This is the first I am seeing of the Sith Troopers (popped in my feed about SDCC).  Since going to a convention is something I will never do and I am not hanging on to every scrap of news about Ep. 9 as I did with 7 and 8...these are new to me.  Mostly because it confuses me.  The filmmakers went to great lengths to specify that Snoke and Kylo are not Sith.   Now we get the reveal there is a trooper in FO armor called Sith Troopers...

I have long since given up trying to guess what the "writers" want us to believe or not. However some of the figures have quite a few accessories and weapons so these don't seem to be regular troopers that's for sure. Should be fun seeing them in action.

And if these Troopers are Sith then maybe they have sabers...just maybe.

I'm assuming they aren't sith themselves but serve the sith...but what Sith is the question

Well, they aren't standard FO troops with alternate coloring.  The helmet eyes/facial grille are not proportioned the same way.

They look somewhat like the Death Troopers from Rogue One, but also somewhat like the Clone Troopers from Eps. II and III.

A lucasfilm employee said they pretty much put elements from almost every trooper into it...I got to wonder if they are part of the FO at all

With Gradpap Palps likely returning i have a good inkling on who the Sith Troopers serve. Im hyped, the implications of Sith Troopers running about for the first time since Ruusan has me pumped a little bit.

Eh your experience and mine differed then... I see no difference in being a teen at school and an adult at work.  Drag myself out of bed, go to a place I hate, do things I don't want to do and then go home to get ready for it all over again....

I was more partial to college. There I was learning useful stuff, and was joined, for the most part, by people who wanted to be there.

Sith?......Trooper?.........


I give up. What regime? It's a neat armor design, but I can't shake this vibe of FO pretentiousness.

But then, the insignia before the name isn't that lame hexagon. Unless.....the FO is either a) taken over by "new management" Wink or b) a new enemy surfaces and makes trouble for everybody, including the FO. (Force let's hope so. It'll be nice having some proper villains again.)

Makes sense, never went to college so I can't formulate an opinion on its experiences.

I'm wondering if the FO copied from this Armor...like perhaps these Sith Troopers have been around a while in the background and Snoke and his minions "borrowed" the design.

I honestly don't think Papa Palpatine is going to actually "return"... I'm thinking he left more Fail Safes like he did with Operation Cinder.  For those who may not know Palpatine had a plan in place called Cinder where droids with holorecording of Palpatines face went to the Imperial Leaders and ordered them to basically burn the galaxy.

That's what I was thinking too.... and let's not forget that FO stormtrooper, Imp stormtrooper, and clone phase 2 are all evolutions of phase 1 clone armor, which is not far off the armor designs the Republic was using for apparently thousands of years.





Not exactly a completely original design, which makes sense. There's only so much you can do designing full body armor for humanoids. You need to stick to a basic design for functionality purposes, which is why SW trooper armor is not wildly different from most other fictional full body armor.

Has anyone considered, that as Kylo Ren has already stated he wants nothing to do with the Sith that these new Sith troopers are part of Shiv Palpetine's army. He has been revived for a while, working in the shadows, as Sith are wont to do, and he bursts onto the scene with actions that threaten both the Rebellion and The First Order. Just a thought.

Also, I don't recall the Emo making such a claim.

I didn't have time to read through everyone's posts as I was leaving work and about to jump on my bike. But kudos to you.

And Kylo may not have said the exact words, but when he says to Rey "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to", I took that to mean he was looking forwards. Not to the past and the Sith traditions. Plus, I think it was stated in an interview somewhere that Kylo, the knights of Ren and Snoke are not Sith. They are just dark side users.

I cant remember the exact wording but it was shortly after the throne room scene in TLJ when he was talking to Rey. He mentions building something new, not the Sith not the Jedi. Now that his galvanized to the dark side, it could be hes using the FO for just that purpose.

Yes. This. ^^ It was around this time he talks about letting the past die.

Something something pots and kettles. I'm somewhat prone to miss things as well.

Interesting. What you have heard is true, but I'm surprised that the Emo wouldn't have been drawn to the Sith trying to emulate grand daddy.
