ST Sith Trooper (Red Stormtrooper) Discussion

So are they like little shuttle/troop-transport things landing on the deck? Or just openings from the main ship to funnel troops out? Couldn't really tell from the split-second footage.

 

They are troopships, you can see them flying down in the other trailers. They more than likely come from the hangars on the same ship (Pryde's) that Finn and Jannah are on. Seems like they are charging across the deck to get to something that can't be reached easily from the inside, some type of maintenance tube that leads to the reactor maybe? Pryde doesn't want to blow a hole in the side of his ship so sends out his Troopers the 'long way'.

 

Ah, okay. Interesting.

 

I'm not quite seeng the 'Falcon flies through the SSD to rescue Finn and Jannah' vibe though. It's a big ship but nowhere as big as the DS II.

 

Didn't they already have the Falcon flight through a SSD in TFA?

 

it'd be different with an operational one though.

 

Fair point

 

ANH, was among many others, a space western.

 

I wonder how many of these troopers there are? Death Trooper numbers? Or more?

 

I'm guessing a few thousand, the compliment of Pryde's ship. Apparently there was a leak from a toy that showed a 'First Order' Officer with red piping on their uniform. That leads me to believe that Pryde alone has these Sith forces under his control, the only difference with the normal First Order is the improved kit and the over use of red in the branding. No doubt the plan was to reorganise the First Order into the Sith Military (and that's a heck of a budget).

 

Nah. There's lots of red atpund the Yavin system.

 

I was disappointed to see how little the Sith Troopers did in the movie. If you went for a quick bathroom break, you would have missed them entirely! The visual guide gives some nice details on them and how the various battalions are named after historic Sith Lords, but I don’t see how we could ever get new stories about them since most, if not all of them, were wiped out in their first battle.

 

You can understand it when in the originals you had differences between stormtroopers, TIE pilots, snow troopers, AT-AT drivers and biker scouts. But I can’t help but feel Sith troopers and Phasma are just exercises in marketing.

 

Not only that but the manufacturers have got three products with only a slight difference, basic Sith Trooper, Sith Jet Trooper being a basic trooper with a jet pack and Sovereign Guard being a basic trooper with a red cloak. That's great for the toy companies, they don't need to invest in a load of different tooling to make the different versions.

 

Indeed - I was hoping they would play a more visible role.

 

Sith troopers were in short a waste of a great suit of armor. my main problem with their depiction in TROS was the fact that all they used in the film were blaster,and we never got to see what their other wapons such as these could do.

 

They look like they're from the Black & Decker line of weaponry.

 

So the red sith troopers are soldiers who wore the red armor depicting the red blade of a siths weapon.

They had no force powers but the armor represented the sith as the final order attempted to take over the galaxy

 

Such a cool design that we hardly saw at all.

 

No we didn't. They were spotted here and there at the last battle but did nothing of note. They were the red shirts of star wars abs they wore red lol

 

Sith troopers have a rather nice design, but honestly they were just red stormtroopers you can almost see in the movie if you watch closely enough.... I would like to know a lot more of their origin, training and background. But sequel trilogy didn't much care about background information. About clone army we had tons of background when AOTC came out.
