Year Released
2023. This minifigure debuted in set 75366 (LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2023), representing the decaying imperial remnants seen in the Ahsoka Disney+ series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While only appearing in an Advent Calendar and one larger set initially, they are mass-produced but highly sought after for army building.
Head
The figure features a standard dual-sided angry clone/stormtrooper face in flesh tone. The helmet is the modern dual-molded Stormtrooper mold with unique weathered printing, including gold 'Kintsugi' style cracks and red fabric bandages.
Torso
White torso with printed Stormtrooper armor detail, heavily weathered with gold cracks and wrapped in dark red fabric (bandages). Includes back printing with continuing bandage and armor details. Arms are plain white with black hands.
Legs
White legs and hips with matching weathered armor printing, gold cracks, and red bandage wraps continuing from the torso. The printing is high-detail but limited to the front.
Accessories
Includes a standard black medium blaster rifle (E-11 style). In the Advent Calendar, it is often paired with small buildable racks or crates.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black (standard Stormtrooper) accented with Dark Red (fabric wraps) and Metallic Gold (repair cracks/Kintsugi effect).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The alignment of the gold cracks and red wraps across the torso and hips is critical. The helmet printing is particularly complex given the curved surface and dual-molding.
Variants
Currently no major production variants, though alignment of the 'wraps' can vary slightly between batches. This is the only official LEGO 'Night Trooper' produced to date.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso and heel cracks on the legs. The gold printing can rub off with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New/Mint: $9.00 - $12.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of 'army building' for this specific trooper type.
Price (New)
Included in set 75366 (Retail $44.99) and set 75385 ($44.99). The individual value was roughly $4-5 at launch but has risen due to demand.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Night Troopers are the resurrected or long-marooned Stormtroopers serving Grand Admiral Thrawn on the planet Peridea. Their armor is repaired with gold thread and red charms by the Great Mothers (Nightsisters).
Design Notes
The design uses the 'Kintsugi' aesthetic (Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold). This is a significant departure from the 'clean' look of previous Imperial troopers.
Similar Minifigures
Standard Stormtrooper (sw0997), Captain Enoch (sw1310), Remnant Stormtrooper (sw1063).
Collectibility
High. Because these characters appear in 'hordes' in the show, collectors frequently buy 10-20 at a time, keeping demand high despite being in accessible sets.
History
Released in late 2023 to coincide with the finale of the Ahsoka series. It represents the first time 'zombie' style troopers have been officially canonized in the modern LEGO Star Wars line.
Interesting Facts
The red wraps are meant to be 'talismanic bandages' infused with Nightsister magic. Many fans use these for 'post-apocalyptic' Star Wars MOCs due to the weathered look.
Display Suggestions
Display in ranks on a grey or tan baseplate to simulate the Chimaera's hangar or the barren landscape of Peridea. Pairs perfectly with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Enoch.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the legs and torso are popular for 'wasteland' or 'damaged' trooper builds. Third-party capes in dark red can enhance the 'ragged' look.
Overall Assessment
A 9/10 for design. It revitalizes a tired Stormtrooper mold with fresh, lore-accurate printing. Highly recommended for Star Wars fans and army builders.
