Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version with the updated head and detailed printing appeared in a physical UCS set and a few standard play sets, making it more common than exclusive polybag versions but still highly sought after for army building.
Head
Light Nougat with a determined expression, black thin eyebrows, and a chin strap print for the helmet. It is a single-sided print to accommodate the helmet fit.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray with detailed Imperial jumpsuit printing including pocket seams, a rank insignia or specialized device on the left chest, and dark gray arms with black hands.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray with hip and knee-pocket printing to match the jumpsuit aesthetic; no side leg printing.

Includes a Light Bluish Gray AT-ST Driver helmet with molded/printed dark gray goggles and a standard black blaster pistol (small).
Color Scheme
Primary color is Light Bluish Gray with accents in Black, Dark Bluish Gray, and Light Nougat flesh tones.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). Features crisp lines for the jumpsuit folds and accurate Imperial iconography on the helmet.
Variants
Variants include sw0093 (classic yellow skin), sw0593 (Rebels version), and sw0797 (Rogue One version) which has slightly different torso detailing.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'helmet rub' on the face printing and stress marks in the torso arms. The Light Bluish Gray plastic is prone to minor discoloration if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
$6.00 - $12.00 USD (Used), $15.00+ USD (New/Mint). Recent sales fluctuate based on the popularity of the Imperial army building trend.

N/A (Included in sets ranging from $50.00 to $699.99 for the UCS Star Destroyer).
Compatible Sets
Set 75153 (AT-ST Walker), Set 75252 (UCS Imperial Star Destroyer), and various Imperial battle packs.
Character Background
Imperial AT-ST Drivers, also known as Combat Drivers, were specialized Imperial Army pilots who operated the All Terrain Scout Transports (Chicken Walkers) in ground engagements.
Design Notes
Utilizes a specialized helmet mold that allows for goggle detail. The torso represents a shift toward more 'movie-accurate' seam lines compared to the simpler 2000s designs.
Similar Minifigures
Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot (sw0632), Imperial Walker Driver (sw0521), and General Veers (sw0815).
Collectibility
High. Imperial army builders often purchase these in bulk to man their AT-ST walkers and MOC hangers.
History
Modern evolution of the original yellow-skinned 2001 driver. This version represents the refinement of the Star Wars line between 2016-2020.
Interesting Facts
The helmet piece is often used by MOC builders for various rebel and resistance soldiers due to its versatile military aesthetic.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or next to a 75153 AT-ST or arranged in a formation on a Light Bluish Gray baseplate with other Imperial personnel.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for 'purist' customs of other Imperial technicians or planetary security officers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed, and essential figure for any Imperial Star Wars collection, offering great detail without the high price tag of rare named characters.
