Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While it was produced in a high-profile set, it is currently exclusive to that single large Master Builder Series (MBS) set, making individual acquisition more difficult than standard troopers.
Head
Standard plain black head used underneath the helmet (representative of many modern Stormtroopers where the face is not meant to be shown) or a standard 'Angry Clone' flesh head depending on the specific set batch; the helmet is the dual-molded Imperial Stormtrooper helmet with specialized 'battle-worn' or dirt/rust printing.
Torso
White torso with Stormtrooper armor printing featuring weathered, yellowed, and dirty markings. Includes a black utility chest box printed on the upper left and a detailed utility belt. The arms are plain white with black hands.
Legs
White legs with weathered armor printing on the hips, thighs, and knees, continuing the 'Remnant' dirty aesthetic seen on the torso and helmet.
Accessories
Typically comes with a standard black E-11 blaster rifle (though not pictured in the provided image). No capes or specialized gear are standard for this specific variant.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black with significant accents of tan, dark orange, and sand yellow to simulate grime and degradation of the armor.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso, and legs. A key feature is the asymmetrical dirt pattern which effectively conveys the worn-out look of the Post-Empire Imperial remnants.
Variants
This is a unique specific variant. It differs from the standard 'clean' Stormtrooper (sw0997) primarily through its weathered printing. There are no known official sub-variants of sw1101.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to torso cracks at the sides and standard play wear on the helmet prints. The white plastic can yellow over time if exposed to UV light, which ironically might blend in with the weathered print but degrades the value of the 'clean' white sections.
Estimated Value
New: $20 - $30 USD; Used: $15 - $22 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of The Mandalorian series and the availability of Set 75290.
Price (New)
N/A individually; primarily available in Set 75290 'Mos Eisley Cantina' which retailed for $349.99 USD.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Appearing in the Disney+ series 'The Mandalorian,' Remnant Stormtroopers are former soldiers of the Galactic Empire who continue to serve Imperial warlords after the Empire's collapse. Their armor is famously unkempt and damaged due to lack of resources.
Design Notes
Lego designers used the 2019 dual-molded helmet mold but applied a 'distressed' print layer. This was a significant departure from the usually pristine 'factory-new' look of most Star Wars trooper minifigures.
Similar Minifigures
Standard Stormtrooper (sw0997), First Order Stormtrooper (sw0667), and the Sandtrooper (sw0915) which shares a similar 'dirty' aesthetic but with different gear.
Collectibility
High. Because it is tied to a popular TV series and restricted to an expensive 'Master Builder Series' set, it is a highly sought-after 'army builder' for adult collectors.
History
First introduced in 2020 to coincide with the popularity of 'The Mandalorian' Season 1 and 2. It represents the first time LEGO officially produced a weathered 'Remnant' version of the classic OT-style Stormtrooper.
Interesting Facts
Despite being 'Remnant' troopers (post-Return of the Jedi), they were included in the Mos Eisley Cantina set which is technically an A New Hope (pre-collapse) themed set, likely to add value and 'The Mandalorian' appeal to the MBS set.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a desert-themed MOC or on a stand alongside other Mandalorian-era figures like Din Djarin, Moff Gideon, or The Child. Using a tan baseplate enhances the weathered print colors.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Battle-Damaged' MOCs. The parts can be swapped with standard troopers to create varying degrees of wear across a larger squad.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, highly detailed minifigure that captures the aesthetic of the New Republic era perfectly. A must-have for Star Wars completists, though its price is higher than average for a 'grunt' soldier.
