Year Released
2019-2020: First debuted in September 2019 as part of the 'Triple Force Friday' launch for the final film of the sequel trilogy.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon: Produced in high volumes across multiple sets, including a dedicated battle pack (75266), though the specific mold is unique to this character troop type.
Head
Underneath the helmet is a standard 'Angry Clone' flesh-tone head with a scowling expression and black eyebrows. The helmet is a unique red mold with narrow visor slits and a textured respirator area.
Torso
Solid red torso with intricate black and dark red industrial armor printing. The design features a layered aesthetic mimicking the appearance from the film, with black hands and red arms.
Legs
Solid red legs with printing on the front that continues the armor plating and utilities from the abdominal area. No side or back leg printing is present.
Accessories
Usually equipped with a black blaster rifle or Stud Shooter. The example in the image appears to be missing its handheld weapon but retains the essential molded helmet.
Color Scheme
Dominant Bright Red with black and dark red detailing. This monochromatic look was a significant design shift for Imperial/First Order infantry.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing focused on the front of the torso and legs. The printing utilizes thin lines to create depth and texture on the heavy red base plastic.
Variants
Primarily exists as sw1065. An 'Officer' variant (sw1074) exists which includes a printing variation representing a specialized rank.
Condition Notes
The red plastic is prone to visible scratches and scuffs. The helmet's sharp edges can show paint wear (if paint was applied over mold) or bite marks/nicks. Check for arm cracks near the torso joints.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Prices are stable due to the high volume of Battle Packs sold.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $14.99 (75266 Sith Troopers Battle Pack) to $149.99 (75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle).
Compatible Sets
75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle (2019), 75266 Sith Troopers Battle Pack (2020), 75279 Advent Calendar (2020).
Character Background
The Sith Trooper was part of the 'Sith Eternal' army on Exegol, serving the resurrected Emperor Palpatine. Despite their name, they are not Force-sensitive but rather elite soldiers programmed for cult-like loyalty.
Design Notes
Initial design leaks for this figure generated massive hype in 2019. The helmet is a precise mold that differs significantly from standard First Order Stormtrooper helmets, featuring more aggressive, jagged lines.
Similar Minifigures
sw0630 First Order Stormtrooper, sw1074 Sith Jet Trooper, sw0877 First Order Executioner Trooper.
Collectibility
Medium. Desirable for army building, but currently supply outweighs demand. Its value is likely to stay flat until the sets have been retired for several more years.
History
Represented a major marketing push for The Rise of Skywalker. It marked the first time a standard grunt-level trooper was colored entirely red in the Star Wars main film line without being a specialized guard.
Interesting Facts
The Sith Trooper design was the first 'Rise of Skywalker' character revealed to the public, appearing at many conventions months before the movie release. It was inspired by the red guard aesthetics of the Original Trilogy.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for large 'army' displays on tiered stands. Pairs best with Kylo Ren and Sith Jet Troopers against a dark gray or black backdrop to make the red plastic pop.
Modification Potential
Great for 'Crimson' themed custom MOCs. The red parts are highly reusable for custom superheroes like Daredevil or red-themed robots.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and well-detailed minifigure. While common, its unique molding and vibrant color make it a standout addition to any modern Star Wars LEGO collection. Rated 7/10 for design and 5/10 for rarity.
