Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2020 (Released in January to coincide with the post-release wave of Episode IX)
Rarity
Common; however, because it was only available in one low-priced battle pack that was heavily purchased for army building, they are widely available on the secondary market.
Head
Standard 'Angry Clone' / Stormtrooper face (Light Flesh color) with black eyebrows, furrowed brow, and a scowling expression. It features a black hair piece (short, swept back, textured).
Torso
Dark Red torso with intricate Sith Trooper armor plating design. Features a high collar print, black utility belt, and mechanical armor detailing. The arms are Dark Red and legs have matching printing.
Legs
Dark Red legs with black hip piece. Printing includes knee plating and segmented armor details consistent with the Sith Eternal aesthetic.
Accessories
Standard black stud-shooter or medium blaster rifle (as seen in the image). The figure in the image is holding a custom or alternate long-barreled sniper rifle with a scope.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Red; Secondary: Black; Accents: Light Flesh (head). This represents the Sith Eternal color palette.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and front of the legs. Minimal back printing on the torso for armor plating. Detail level is high, typical of 2020-era Star Wars minifigures.
Variants
None for this specific ID. It is often compared to the 'Sith Trooper' sw1065, which is identical but usually topped with the Sith Trooper helmet (part 65435) rather than hair.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck joint and hip friction. Susceptible to 'torso cracks' if the figure is stored with arms tightly pressed against the body or if played with aggressively.
Estimated Value
New: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; Used: $3.00 - $4.50 USD. The price remains low due to high supply from the battle pack.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75266 (Sith Troopers Battle Pack) which retailed for $14.99 USD ($3.75 per minifigure).

Character Background
These are the ground forces of the Sith Eternal, loyal to the resurrected Emperor Palpatine on Exegol. Unlike First Order Stormtroopers, they draw inspiration from ancient Sith legacies.
Design Notes
This figure is notable for providing the 'unmasked' look of the Sith Troopers. The use of Dark Red is a standout design choice that differentiates them from the standard white Stormtroopers.
Similar Minifigures
sw1065 (Sith Trooper with helmet), sw1066 (Sith Jet Trooper), sw0605 (First Order Stormtrooper).
Collectibility
Moderate. High demand for 'army builders' who want to create large dioramas of the Battle of Exegol, but low investment potential due to high production volume.
History
Launched in the final wave of the Sequel Trilogy sets. This version prioritized the 'officer' or 'crew' look by swapping the distinctive red helmet for a standard hairpiece in some display contexts.
Interesting Facts
The red color of the armor is meant to represent Sith lightsaber blades. In the movie, these troopers were almost indistinguishable from one another, but LEGO used the hairpiece to add variety to the Battle Pack.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in ranks or behind the 'brick-built' barricade seen in the image. Looks excellent alongside an Emperor Palpatine or Kylo Ren minifigure.
Modification Potential
Extremely high for MOCs. The Dark Red armor parts are frequently used by customizers to create 'Sith versions' of other characters or Royal Guard variations.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-detail army builder figure. It offers great value-for-money and is an essential piece for any collector seeking to complete the factions of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
