Disney announces red Stormtrooper. This is Star Wars now.

They are officially out of ideas.

Does it look cool? Sure. Because the original Stormtroopers looked cool.

This is all 21st-century Disney can do, focus-test in on the bits of our childhoods we fondly remember and regurgitate them in a slightly different, usually worse form.

One would think that with Star Wars technology, they could have armor that changed color according to some sort of control mechanism, or go camouflage, like Predator

Also be cool if they added Maximilion, the evil robot from The Black Hole. (he was red, that's just made me think of it).

Why do we need red Stormtroopers when these exist?

Its like when the NWO storyline ran its course over at WCW, and the best idea they could come up with, was to create a NWO faction that used the colour red instead of white.

....shortly after, WCW went out of business.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Acceptable, showcasing this with a big bad villain would make hardcore Star Wars fans happy

Another film another batch of Storm Trooper designs, this is the least shocking bit of Star Wars.

Gotta have new toys & new designs for the 501st to cosplay as, I feel there is probably 2-3 others in the film.

Then we will get more new ones in Manadlorian & fallen order before the year ends.


Couldn' t they have bothered giving it a different helmet design? It's just a normal stormtrooper repainted red. Looks lazily done.

Yes I still hate the Duck beak shaped helmets to this day.

The mountain trooper figure for Galaxy's Edge looks a bit better at least, I don’t know if it will be in the film or not though.
 
I dont mind color changes but I want to see a variety. New ST were a nice upgrade from the old ones. So why not redesign again for the red ones, otherwise we gonna have a Mortal Kombat ninjas scenario.

Just no imagination. They aren’t even trying. “Here’s the old thing but painted red”

Funny enough Phasma was JJ’s “favourite character”. Another fucking palette swap. What if stormtrooper but shiny?

This series is entirely bankrupt. No ideas.

Even Bandai has more creative ideas to make Kamen Rider and Super Sentai designs than Disney. Maybe Disney should reach Bandai.

new designs for the 501st to cosplay as

lmao I can't argue with you there. There were 501st members in my groups selling helmet kits for this before it was even officially revealed, basing it entirely on that leaked, unverified poster. :messenger_grinning_squinting:
