Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in several sets, the character was specific to a short theatrical window, making it a popular army-builder figure.
Head
A plain black minifigure head element. This serves to provide the black 'visor' appearance when the helmet is placed over it.
Torso
Bright red torso with intricate dark red and black printing depicting Sith Trooper armor plating, technical panels, and abdominal segments. Red arms with black hands.
Legs
Bright red legs with detailed printing on the front of the legs and hips, continuing the armored plating aesthetic from the torso.
Accessories
Usually includes a black blaster rifle or stud shooter (not shown in image). The helmet is a unique mold featuring a distinctive textured visor and breathing apparatus vents.
Color Scheme
Primary color is bright red, with accent colors in dark red and black for texture and detail.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso and legs. The helmet features print-over-molding for the visor and vent details. No arm or side-leg printing.
Variants
Standard Sith Trooper (sw1065) and an Officer variant with a specialized blaster. A holiday sweater version also exists in the 2020 Advent Calendar.
Condition Notes
The helmet is prone to surface scratches on the visor print. Red plastic can show stress marks at the neck or torso cracks if handled roughly.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. New: $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Values remain stable due to army-building demand.

75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle, 75266 Sith Troopers Battle Pack, 75281 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor (Advent promo), and 75279 Advent Calendar.
Character Background
Elite soldiers of the Sith Eternal army, these troopers served the resurrected Emperor Palpatine on Exegol during the final battle of the Resistance-First Order war.
Design Notes
Initial design was highly anticipated due to the 'Ferrari Red' color choice. The helmet mold is a distinct evolution of the First Order Stormtrooper design.
Similar Minifigures
First Order Stormtrooper, Sith Jet Trooper, First Order Officer, Imperial Royal Guard.
Collectibility
Medium. High demand for collectors building 'Sith Eternal' dioramas, but widely available enough that prices haven't skyrocketed.
History
Introduced as a mystery soldier for 'The Rise of Skywalker' marketing; design was praised for its aggressive look, though the characters had limited screen time.
Interesting Facts
The Sith Trooper design was leaked via LEGO set lists months before the character's official reveal by Lucasfilm.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in groups (ranks). Pair with Kylo Ren and a fleet of TIE Daggers for an Exegol-themed shelf.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom First Order variants. The red components are popular for MOC creators building red-themed futuristic soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking minifigure with excellent color saturation. A solid 8/10 for design, though its value is kept in check by high production volume.
