Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens wave in the Resistance Bomber set during a period of significant growth for the Star Wars line.
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific variant was exclusive to a single, relatively high-priced set (75188), which was later updated with a different figure in some regions, making the initial version more sought after.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a determined expression with brown eyebrows and chin stubble, the other side is a focused look. Topped with a Dark Tan Resistance Trooper helmet featuring a Trans-Yellow visor.
Torso
Dark tan jacket with detailed printing including brown tactical harness, pouches, and a grey belt. Back printing matches the harness and jacket seams. Dark tan arms with light flesh hands.
Legs
Dark tan legs with printing continuing the tactical look; features brown holster straps on the hips and red/white insignia on both knees (Resistance symbols).
Accessories
Includes the specialized Resistance Trooper helmet (Part 20654) with a built-in Trans-Yellow visor (Part 20655). Usually supplied with a medium-sized black blaster in the original set.
Color Scheme
A tactical palette of Dark Tan, Brown, and Grey, highlighted by the vibrant Trans-Yellow visor and small red Resistance markings on the legs.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent registration. Features double-sided head, torso front/back, and front/side leg printing. The knee printing is particularly crisp.
Variants
There are several Resistance Soldiers; sw0819 is distinguished by the specific dark tan jumpsuit and the trans-yellow visor. It differs from sw0697 which has a tan torso and different helmet color.
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the trans-yellow visor as it is prone to scuffing. Check the 'neck' of the torso for hairline cracks and ensure the hip-to-leg friction is still firm.
Estimated Value
The used complete value ranges from $8.00 to $12.00 USD. New condition can reach $15.00+. Prices are stable but rising due to the retirement of set 75188.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 75188 Resistance Bomber, which retailed for $109.99 USD in 2017.
Compatible Sets
LEGO Star Wars 75188 (Resistance Bomber).
Character Background
Generic infantry and crew members belonging to General Leia Organa's Resistance. They appear throughout the Sequel Trilogy, notably during the evacuation of D'Qar.
Design Notes
This figure showcases the 'Modern Era' of Star Wars design where generic troopers received nearly as much detail as main characters. The helmet mold is a two-part assembly which was innovative at the time.
Similar Minifigures
sw0697 Resistance Trooper, sw0698 Resistance Trooper (Tan Jacket), and sw0721 Resistance Officer.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for Sequel Trilogy army builders and completionists focusing on the Battle of D'Qar.
History
Follows the evolution of Rebel Troopers from the Original Trilogy sets. It represents the 2017 refinement of the Resistance soldier designs first seen in 2015.
Interesting Facts
The set this figure appeared in (75188) had a rare 'ninja' update where a different minifigure (Finch Dallow) replaced a different trooper, making all figures from the original 75188 run highly documented by collectors.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a hangar bay MOC or alongside the Resistance Bomber. Looks great when paired with Poe Dameron or Vice Admiral Holdo.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom futuristic or post-apocalyptic soldiers due to the tactical, non-logo-specific look of the dark tan jumpsuit.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed military-style minifigure. While not a main hero, the technical detail of the helmet and printed legs make it a high-quality addition to any collection.
