Figure ID
sw1065
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2019 (First released in late 2019 sets leading up to Episode IX)
Rarity
Uncommon. While available in multiple sets including a battle pack, Sith Troopers remain highly desirable for army building which maintains their scarcity in the secondary market.
Head
Plain Black head (Minifigure Head, Modified 32709). The helmet fits over this, providing the visor's appearance through the slit.
Torso
Red Torso with Sith Trooper Armor Pattern (Front and Back). Design features intricate line work representing the refined, stormtrooper-evolution aesthetic. Arms are red; hands are black.
Legs
Red Legs with Sith Trooper Armor Pattern including hip and knee detailing in black and dark red tones.
Accessories
Includes a custom-built Electrostaff variant in the image (not standard). The standard figure usually comes with a black Stud Shooter or a standard blaster rifle. The staff shown consists of a black hilt and trans-pink/purple round 1x1 plates.
Color Scheme
Dominant Bright Red with Black and Dark Red accents. This striking monochromatic red scheme differentiates it from the classic white Imperial Stormtrooper.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with thin, precise black lines to simulate armor plating texture. Printing is present on the torso (front/back) and legs (front).
Variants
Standard (sw1065) and a variant with a jetpack (sw1075) found in the Sith Troopers Battle Pack. This specific one appears to be the standard ground trooper.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the large red surface area of the helmet. The printing on the hips can wear down if the legs are frequently rotated. Check for 'neck cracks' in the red torso.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Mint: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Prices are currently stable due to the high volume produced in battle packs.
Price (New)
Originally available in Set 75266 Sith Troopers Battle Pack ($14.99) and Set 75256 Kylo Ren's Shuttle ($129.99).
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Elite soldiers of the Sith Eternal, these troopers served the resurrected Emperor Palpatine on Exegol during the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker.
Design Notes
The helmet is a unique mold introduced specifically for this character, featuring a much more 'serrated' or textured appearance than previous First Order helmets.
Similar Minifigures
First Order Stormtrooper, Sith Jet Trooper, Imperial Royal Guard, Captain Phasma.
Collectibility
High for army builders. Collectors often purchase these in bulk to create dioramas of the Final Order. It remains a fan-favorite despite the mixed reception of the film it appeared in.
History
Debuted as a flagship marketing character for the 'Triple Force Friday' event in 2019. It represented a bridge between First Order design and Sith color palettes.
Interesting Facts
The Sith Trooper's red color is a direct tribute to the Sovereign Protectors and the Emperor's Royal Guard from the original trilogy and Expanded Universe.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in ranks on a dark grey or black baseplate to make the red 'pop'. Pairs well with Kylo Ren and Sith Jet Troopers.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Mandalorian or bounty hunter builds due to the unique red helmet mold. The accessory in the image is a custom 'electro-staff' modification.
Overall Assessment
A visually stunning minifigure with exceptional printing. While not extremely expensive, it is a staple of modern Star Wars collecting and a great example of LEGO's modern detail standards.
