Year Released
2017: First appeared in the Resistance Bomber set (75188) released in the waves supporting 'The Last Jedi'.
Rarity
Uncommon; while not a named character, this specific variant was only released in two sets which were mid-to-high price range points.
Head
Light flesh skin tone with a determined expression, featuring brown eyebrows and thin smirk; the same head is shared with general rebel/resistance troopers.
Torso
Dark brown base representing a weather-worn poncho; detailed printing shows a yellow strap (bandolier) with gear pouches and a grey scarf at the neck.
Legs
Medium stone grey legs with horizontal seam and vertical line printing to represent tactical combat trousers, commonly used for Resistance ground troops.
Accessories
Includes a specialized multi-part helmet consisting of a tan base and a gunmetal grey metallic visor/top section. The figure in the image is holding a black thermal detonator handle with a translucent red round plate.
Color Scheme
Earth-toned palette including dark brown, tan, medium stone grey, and olive green accents, reflecting the guerilla warfare aesthetic of the Resistance.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the torso and front of the legs. No arm printing is present, which is standard for secondary Star Wars troopers of this era.
Variants
Variations exist with female faces (sw0814) and different torso/leg combinations for the Resistance fleet, including officers and pilots.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the ridge of the helmet visor and silver metallic flecking loss. Check the neck post for stress marks from the poncho-style torso printing.

Character Background
Background troopers of the Resistance who fought during the Cold War and the subsequent war against the First Order. These specific uniforms were seen during the evacuation of D'Qar.
Design Notes
The dual-molded effect of the helmet is achieved through two separate plastic pieces that snap together, a design first introduced in the 2016 Rogue One wave.
Similar Minifigures
sw0675 Resistance Soldier (Tan Jacket), sw0720 Resistance Trooper (Tan/Green), sw0814 Resistance Soldier (Female).
Collectibility
Moderate; popular for army builders making dioramas of 'The Last Jedi' or 'The Rise of Skywalker' battle scenes.
History
Represents the refinement of 'generic' trooper design starting in 2015, moving away from the simpler 'Endor' style rebels to highly detailed tactical gear.
Interesting Facts
The helmet design is officially known as the 'Combat Helmet with blast shield', inspired by real-world 20th-century helmet silhouettes blended with sci-fi elements.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a group of 3-5 troopers to create a squad effect, ideally posed near a Resistance X-Wing or Bomber.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs; the dark brown poncho torso is highly versatile for creating custom wasteland survivors or scavengers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed grunt figure that captures the 'used universe' aesthetic of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. A must-have for completionist army builders.
