    Heh. Valid points. Honestly I didn't see the three on their chests as I was going "ZOMG THRAWN AND DARK TROOPERS! ZOMG!" or so. I was being very excitable. :p

    It's "3 and a half" or something... 3 & a third? There's another mark after the "III". But it seems pretty clear these are meant to be, essentially, canonical Phase III Dark Troopers. They do have some aspects of TFU Purge Troopers/"canon" SW Commander Phase II Dark Troopers, tho, notably the blaster-arm... it seems influenced by those designs. But otherwise, for the most part, it smacks of Phase III DTs!

    This reminds of me of the 'Scar troopers' apparently appearing in upcoming comics, who are basically Imperial RCs, and I kinda thought at first they'd be taking up a successor to Dark Troopers there. See this preview. As they come off as more than capable of slaughtering the Ghost crew, I doubt they'll appear on this show, lol.

    Though I do hope that the Dark Troopers here come off as a tough nut to crack like the final boss of Dark Forces did.

    what an awesome issue it was. The SCAR unit in the comic was Task Force 99, so those guys are 99% probably the imperial replacement for the bad batch - clone force 99. The sergeant commanding the unit was actually stormtrooper Kreel of the 501st, who uses a lightsaber, which is freaking awesome)

    Though I'm hoping we get an iconic clone from TCW as a dark trooper. Maybe Cody? But will rebels go that dark? who knows.

    Cody as an Imperial-loyal clone would make sense and would add an interesting element to the show, but I doubt Filoni wants to have clones as explicit bad guys just yet.

    I think the Dark Trooper idea would be better as a stand alone movie as the story takes place between ANH & ESB.
