Character Background
Undead or resurrected Stormtroopers serving Grand Admiral Thrawn on Peridea, enchanted by Great Mother Great-Mothers' magick.
Design Notes
The design utilizes the 2019 dual-molded Stormtrooper helmet mold as a base but upgrades it with unique deco to represent the 'Kintsugi' (gold repair) aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Standard Imperial Stormtrooper (sw0997), Captain Enoch, and zombie-themed troopers from previous non-canon LEGO Star Wars media.
Collectibility
Moderate to High - Army builders often seek multiples, and the unique 'zombie' aesthetic makes them popular for MOC displays.
History
Represents the first time LEGO has produced an officially licensed 'undead' Stormtrooper based on live-action Star Wars canon.
Interesting Facts
The gold cracks are inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold to signify history and resilience.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn or Captain Enoch on a grey or rocky baseplate to simulate the Chimaera's bridge or Peridea's surface.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'zombie' Star Wars MOCs; parts can be mixed with other troopers to create a more diverse undead army look.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and unique variant of the standard Stormtrooper. The high-quality gold and red printing makes it a standout for collectors and army builders alike.
