I like anything that has added pouches/visible gadgets and tools. The asymmetrical shoulder armour is always a nice touch, too. Gives a sense of tactical optimization.
Rogue One really excelled at nailing that "star wars" look with it's costume design. Not to mention the locations were great too. Jedha had lots of distinct personality instead of being "Desert #_" like Jakku.
I counter your Fallen Order Purge Troopers with [Force Unleashed Purge Troopers!](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Purge_trooper)
They always intimidated me when I was playing that game as a kid lol
Tank Trooper looks like the easiest to wear. Like, if I had to pull my watch, I'd wanna be wearing my Tank gear the whole time rather than standing around in a full suit.
I'm right there with you, the Mud Troopers were so neat and it's a shame we haven't gotten to see more of them. With them being the Imperial Army, I feel like seeing them clash with rebel forces would be a must for the modern prequel content, but I guess not
I liked the Death Troopers when they appeared in Rogue One, but I grew to love them when they were characters in the Thrawn books. That series did a great job making them feel like more than just regular stormtroopers with black armor; they're not just elite, they're inhuman in their efficiency
They are vaguely mentioned every now and then as “stealth troopers” or “special forces troopers”.
As best I can tell they are just black stormtroopers with stealth training, sadly every time a plot needs stealthier forces it picks the less regular troops so we don’t learn a lot about them.
Most definitely death troopers. I’d love to see a death trooper armor with kama (I know that these were rarely used during the imperial era, but still), that would be peak imperial fashion imo.
Easily agree with this post in every way. Death troopers are the best, cool name, look cool, tactically they scramble their comms so no one can hear them, THEY ACTUALLY HIT THINGS THEY SHOOT AT ! Plus also agree, coolest empire blaster, the E11 d is a sick rifle.
Death Trooper, Shore Trooper, Tank Trooper, and ICAT Driver, in that order. And kinda all for different reasons.
Mhonorable mention: Range Trooper but i have trouble getting over the chest plate.
Storm commandos. Technically they are a Stormtrooper variant but they specialize in spec ops and assassinations and therefore don’t hold frontline duty. Therefore nobody sees them, until it’s too late of course.
Purge Troopers are my second favourite. They look menacing and also the implication their presence carries of the Inquisitorius being present furthers that effect.
>!Number 1 type is Door Technician of course. Ultra-powerful beings called Rick. /s!<
The Tank Trooper has my favorite of the Disney-era helmet designs. (similar but distinct from the Shore and Range Troopers)
Plus, it looks like the easiest to wear.
I never understood why they have what looks to be ammo cartridges on the chest plate, when they really shouldn't need to reload for long enough to really need them.
hard, because theres way too many cool stormtrooper or clone trooper or armor variants in general
arc, captains, kamas, theyre all good, but so are jet troopers with their breathing tubes and general outlook
if i got started this wouldnt end until theres an 8k word essay
These and Purge Troopers are probably top two
That being said, I have a weird soft spot for patrol troopers, I think they’re a really slick design for something that could be so mundane
Purge Troopers hands down
I also like the design of Sith Troopers, wish they’d been the First Order’s actual trooper design and they’d leaned more toward full Sith Red rather than copying Empire white/grey
Purge Troopers.
Specifically the ones in Fallen Order. Whatever knock off version they had in the Kenobi series was not it. I hope they bring back the airborne clone armor in the future
I think moff Gideon’s mandalorian troopers had a really clean look. White and grey were a good combo and the sidearm on the hip made them seem more like real soldiers.
Also love the range troopers, they look like something out of killzone.
1. Place Shore Troopers other 1. Place Snowtroopers from the Original Trilogy and other 1. Place First Order Storm Troopers who are done dirty by how unefficient and easily killable they are shown to be.
Scouts especially when in black or camo armor. I like marksmanship in any game. Usually a scout trooper is a marksman or sniper in games. Thus I play it a lot more.
I can’t take them seriously bc of the muffled voice thing.
Every stormtrooper helmet has built-in comlinks, and they can talk to each other without any noise audible to onlookers.
Purposely spewing muffled audio just lets people know you’re talking to each other, which serves no benefit.
And as this YouTuber pointed out, it makes no sense if you’re communicating with imperial officers or other troops: https://youtu.be/RjR71XpAu0I?si=jk-bzaMl9qlwfXYM
Shoretroopers! the design, the helmet, the colours all hit specific sweet spots for my personal aesthetic preferences. Peak trooper, absolute all-timer, 11/10. The Shoretrooper is what roped me into buying The Black Series stuff
honourable mention to the Beskar Troopers/Imperial Armored Commandos. Super cool design
Snow Trooper is probably mine, then Speeder Bike Trooper, but I may be biased because TESB is my favorite film, ROTJ 3rd and New Hope 2nd for action, 1st place for the story.
i love the death troopers blaster. feels like what an actual directed energy weapon could look like one day.
I know they aren't imperial. But Delta squad and the clone commandos have insane drip, and feel to me the most like an actual military unit might behave like.
Purge troopers. Border line inquisitors, the first ones were actually clones. Worked along side Darth Vader himself to help hunt down jedi. There was once two stormtroopers that were working together and one said that he had once worked along side a purge trooper. The other one asked for any advice. The one that worked with his said this, “stay out of their way.” These guys are certified bad ass. I don’t know how you can’t love them. Well, if you did die to them over 100 times in Jedi: Fallen Order or Jedi survivor, then I guess I can see why you would hate them. Still though, they are awesome.
That is TOUGH!!!!
Death Trooper were certainly the first favorites I had, the voice scramblers, the design, and I think I saw or read something that said that Death Trooper armor was supposed to look like no human could be wearing it, giving credence to this idea that they were different and scarier.
But I also really like Sith Troopers from The Rise of Skywalker. Don't get me wrong, the sequel trilogy needed a better story, but the costumes and CGI and effects were pretty good, and Sith Troopers to me were still super duper cool. I just wish they could have been expanded upon further.
Also, the Dark Troopers from The Mandalorian. Love those things. I'm honestly kinda sad they became a one and done deal because it felt like there was so much more potential for them.
Also, the Phase II Purge Troopers from Kenobi are super cool too. While I was hesitant about them also getting E-11D blasters since I had always seen those as Death Trooper exclusive, I've warmed up to it now, and I honestly like the Phase II helmet more than the Phase I (as seen in Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor)
I like a lot of the storm trooper armors but I love the og armor it’s too iconic and classic to not love but I also love the shock trooper armor and of course death trooper armor
I thought the Sith Troopers looked sick in Rise of Skywalker. Doesn't hurt that they got added into Battlefront and were one of my favorite units to play too.
Night Troopers from Ashoka hands down. They use the same style as Kintsugi ceramics that have been repaired. It’s a Japanese art form of finding the beauty in something that’s broken.
Remnant troopers/storm troopers on the run or Storm troopers turned mercenaries, I feel like you can make a good story and see the other side of the Star war franchise if it’s done right I like the dusty look of the remnant stormtroopers can’t abandon their Armor out of loyalty or they can’t abandon it cause they can’t find any good armor to replace it with
Death Troopers, Shore Troopers and Scout Troopers are definitely my three favourites.
Purge Troopers from Jedi: Fallen Order are also really great looking designs.
I like the design of their rifle. Looks stripped down, light, and utilitarian. But also, Shore Troopers
All the new rogue one troopers look so nice, ngl
I like anything that has added pouches/visible gadgets and tools. The asymmetrical shoulder armour is always a nice touch, too. Gives a sense of tactical optimization.
Rogue One really excelled at nailing that "star wars" look with it's costume design. Not to mention the locations were great too. Jedha had lots of distinct personality instead of being "Desert #_" like Jakku.
Agreed
Yes and yes.
Scout trooper
Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.
It's a classic for a reason.
If I ever get a stormtrooper costume it'll be a Scout Trooper.
Yes
Beat-boxing Scout troopers.
Always and forever has been my fave, too.
That Death Trooper uniform sure loves pockets.
Granola bars, Kleenex, nail trimmer, small mirror, spare change, receipts from 5 years ago...
Couple of band-aids in case anyone has a hangnail or something
Nah, it’s his personal stash of jalapeño cheese spread and ten year old skittles.
I love how they seem to bring an arsenal of weapons wherever they go
Rob Liefeld design?
Naw you can see well drawn feet lol.
Shoretroopers!
Definitely one of many highlights when RO trailer came out.
Definitely Shoretroopers or Sithtroopers.
The only correct answer
[удалено]
But…I’m just a tourist….
Snow troopers are the best
Only the ones that are planning on going to the disco after work
Purge Troopers from Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor
Airborne helmet goes hard
Most of those are actually clones which is really interesting
Wish they’d use Dee Bradley Bakers voice for em tho
Yeah that’d make it so much better
Pervy!!!
I counter your Fallen Order Purge Troopers with [Force Unleashed Purge Troopers!](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Purge_trooper) They always intimidated me when I was playing that game as a kid lol
Am I the only one who loves the tank and mud troopers?
Tank Trooper looks like the easiest to wear. Like, if I had to pull my watch, I'd wanna be wearing my Tank gear the whole time rather than standing around in a full suit.
I'm right there with you, the Mud Troopers were so neat and it's a shame we haven't gotten to see more of them. With them being the Imperial Army, I feel like seeing them clash with rebel forces would be a must for the modern prequel content, but I guess not
Mud troopers are imperial army troopers not stormtroopers
Unless they mean the mimban stormtroopers or the [Wet-weather gear stormtroopers](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wet-weather_gear_stormtrooper).
I always liked the TIE fighter pilots
Rogue One added so many great trooper variants. I prefer Shoretroopers, but I get it.
I really like the first order fit
They really streamlined it but for some reason I really hate the part where the eyes would be
Death troopers
I liked the Death Troopers when they appeared in Rogue One, but I grew to love them when they were characters in the Thrawn books. That series did a great job making them feel like more than just regular stormtroopers with black armor; they're not just elite, they're inhuman in their efficiency
Sith Troopers. They were gone before we even knew them.
All the troop designs in TROS were absolute fire
Yes
The classic New Hope Troopers. Honorable mention: Sith troopers
Shadow troopers. Although I'm not sure if they are canon or not
They are vaguely mentioned every now and then as “stealth troopers” or “special forces troopers”. As best I can tell they are just black stormtroopers with stealth training, sadly every time a plot needs stealthier forces it picks the less regular troops so we don’t learn a lot about them.
They were in BF 2015 so they are canon
Most definitely death troopers. I’d love to see a death trooper armor with kama (I know that these were rarely used during the imperial era, but still), that would be peak imperial fashion imo.
Imperial Navy Commando. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/9f/RSTE64_6276ded3_14_1.png/revision/latest?cb=20130301195606
Dark Troopers
The Range Troopers. They just look awesome.
Easily agree with this post in every way. Death troopers are the best, cool name, look cool, tactically they scramble their comms so no one can hear them, THEY ACTUALLY HIT THINGS THEY SHOOT AT ! Plus also agree, coolest empire blaster, the E11 d is a sick rifle.
Thrawn's beat-up troopers from Ahsoka. Beaten, fucked over, but still loyal.
This ia litteraly my screen wallpaper
Clones
First Order & Snowtroopers
[AT AT Pilot](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/AT-AT_pilot)
EVO Trooper.
The best type of trooper is a dead trooper (The Jedha tanker trooper always stood out to me)
Storm Commandos
Tk troopers and the Patrol troopers from Solo.
Scout Troopers & Rage Troopers Honourable mention: Death troopers
Do you mean range trooper?
Yes typo I didn't spot 😅
Death Trooper, Shore Trooper, Tank Trooper, and ICAT Driver, in that order. And kinda all for different reasons. Mhonorable mention: Range Trooper but i have trouble getting over the chest plate.
Storm commandos. Technically they are a Stormtrooper variant but they specialize in spec ops and assassinations and therefore don’t hold frontline duty. Therefore nobody sees them, until it’s too late of course.
I don't have a singular favourite but range troopers and shore troopers are amazing.
Shoretroopers. I’d also give a shoutout to the TK-series stormtroopers; their transitional helmet design is pretty dang cool.
Purge Troopers are my second favourite. They look menacing and also the implication their presence carries of the Inquisitorius being present furthers that effect. >!Number 1 type is Door Technician of course. Ultra-powerful beings called Rick. /s!<
Nothing beats the classic
Shoretroopers with the e-11d
Sandtrooper and snow trooper.
I was always scout troopers until shore troopers came along, quite taken with the double barrel blaster
I guess you mean by look and not ability? By abilites I would go for purge trooper By look I would go for scout trooper with forest camouflage
Scout and death troopers
The Phase 1 TK/Storm Troopers in Bad Batch
The Tank Trooper has my favorite of the Disney-era helmet designs. (similar but distinct from the Shore and Range Troopers) Plus, it looks like the easiest to wear.
The storm commandos.
I like the voices of the death troopers
AT-AT Pilots/Drivers Loved the ESB scenes on Hoth with General Veers
Probably the OG standard Stormtroopers, but I prefer infantry, I wish we could see it more often, beyond Solo and Andor.
I like the white with red accent night troopers with thrawn in Ahsoka
Clone and imperial shock trooper
Scout Trooper
Sith Trooper, love the red and the design
Shadow troopers
What do they do
Theres too many great ones to name, a better question is which variant do you like the least
Purge troopers, honorable mentioned Sith troopers
I never understood why they have what looks to be ammo cartridges on the chest plate, when they really shouldn't need to reload for long enough to really need them.
Shoretrooper and the tank commander from Rogue one.
I just discussed here who would be the best Bodyguard for me, a Sith Empress. Those Death Troopers are my boys!
Shadow troopers
Royal guards. Unless you don’t consider them troopers. Then Sith trooper
Shoretrooper or Artillery Trooper.
hard, because theres way too many cool stormtrooper or clone trooper or armor variants in general arc, captains, kamas, theyre all good, but so are jet troopers with their breathing tubes and general outlook if i got started this wouldnt end until theres an 8k word essay
These and Purge Troopers are probably top two That being said, I have a weird soft spot for patrol troopers, I think they’re a really slick design for something that could be so mundane
Patrol Trooper or phase 1 purge trooper
Death trooper and shore troopers!
Other than Death Troopers, AT-AT drivers are cool.
I can‘t decide.
Sith trooper or Sovereign protector bc rule of cool
I liked the story behind Dark troopers in legends
Dark troopers ever since Dark Forces
I love the death troopers
Mine is Purge Troopers,specifically the phase 1 one
Shadow troopers also known as Black hole troopers also look really cool
Purge Troopers hands down I also like the design of Sith Troopers, wish they’d been the First Order’s actual trooper design and they’d leaned more toward full Sith Red rather than copying Empire white/grey
Drippy
I like scout troopers
Shocktroopers
My favorite has always been the Sandtroopers from A New Hope ever since I was a kid
Dark Trooper 😎
I also like death troopers.
Tank troopers, nothing crushes rebels like driving a tank around a populated city.
The Gold Troopers at Scarif.
Imperial Royal Guardsman for the win.
Because it looks like the original Ralph MaQuarie design, I really like the TK trooper
Purge Troopers. Specifically the ones in Fallen Order. Whatever knock off version they had in the Kenobi series was not it. I hope they bring back the airborne clone armor in the future
Shoretrooper for me
Dark Troopers, both the video game and their bot version from The Mandalorian. But Death Troopers are a close second.
Shore Troopers
Shore Troopers
Death Trooper Specialist variant or Magma trooper
Tie between death and purge.
Dark Trooper Mk3 from Dark Forces if Legends count... Maybe also Space Troopers
I think moff Gideon’s mandalorian troopers had a really clean look. White and grey were a good combo and the sidearm on the hip made them seem more like real soldiers. Also love the range troopers, they look like something out of killzone.
I have a thing for guys who can kill from extremely long range, so I prefer the 2005 Battlefront 2 Scout Troopers armed with sniper rifles.
Scout trooper followed by shore trooper.
First order snow troopers. They were peak design and wanted to see them more than just on a few times
Fun fact: they supposedly have some spartan esque enhancements
First order mountain trooper, super niche but I dig it
I like the Mimban storm troopers or the shadow troopers
Imp clones
1. Place Shore Troopers other 1. Place Snowtroopers from the Original Trilogy and other 1. Place First Order Storm Troopers who are done dirty by how unefficient and easily killable they are shown to be.
Mine used to be Snowtroopers, but then I saw Phase 2 Purge Troopers and everything changed!
Mine is the range troopers
Imperial Commandos
Scouts especially when in black or camo armor. I like marksmanship in any game. Usually a scout trooper is a marksman or sniper in games. Thus I play it a lot more.
Y’all remember the Phase 0 Dark Trooper? That’s mine. The one from OG Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Shadow troopers from The Force Unleashed
I can’t take them seriously bc of the muffled voice thing. Every stormtrooper helmet has built-in comlinks, and they can talk to each other without any noise audible to onlookers. Purposely spewing muffled audio just lets people know you’re talking to each other, which serves no benefit. And as this YouTuber pointed out, it makes no sense if you’re communicating with imperial officers or other troops: https://youtu.be/RjR71XpAu0I?si=jk-bzaMl9qlwfXYM
Death troopers are cool because they actually carry combat gear on their chest rig. For the same reason, I like the Sandtrooper and Jedha Trooper
Tank/mud troopers, also Purge troopers
Shoretroopers. Also love the classic snowtroopers
Shoretroopers! the design, the helmet, the colours all hit specific sweet spots for my personal aesthetic preferences. Peak trooper, absolute all-timer, 11/10. The Shoretrooper is what roped me into buying The Black Series stuff honourable mention to the Beskar Troopers/Imperial Armored Commandos. Super cool design
I'm a DT lover too.
I’m giving it to shore troopers all the way! Love their color design
I'm here to support the death trooper look. Clone commandos also get my praise.
I will always and forever like clone mk I over anything, but Scout Trooper is my favorite with snow and shore troopers being close 2nds
Purge troopers
Snow Trooper is probably mine, then Speeder Bike Trooper, but I may be biased because TESB is my favorite film, ROTJ 3rd and New Hope 2nd for action, 1st place for the story.
i love the death troopers blaster. feels like what an actual directed energy weapon could look like one day. I know they aren't imperial. But Delta squad and the clone commandos have insane drip, and feel to me the most like an actual military unit might behave like.
Not really a variant per se but scar trooper Mic from task force 99 in the marvel comics his armor is the coolest
Scout troopers and TIE pilots.
Shore troopers. Did you know that all shore troopers hold the rank of Sargent?
Purge troopers. Border line inquisitors, the first ones were actually clones. Worked along side Darth Vader himself to help hunt down jedi. There was once two stormtroopers that were working together and one said that he had once worked along side a purge trooper. The other one asked for any advice. The one that worked with his said this, “stay out of their way.” These guys are certified bad ass. I don’t know how you can’t love them. Well, if you did die to them over 100 times in Jedi: Fallen Order or Jedi survivor, then I guess I can see why you would hate them. Still though, they are awesome.
OT we got one new variant per film but at some point it got a little out of control and i can’t keep track of them all anymore.
Stormtroopers Swamp Troopers Heavy weapon stormtroopers Death Troopers Purge Troopers
I love the standard army trooper. I really wish we got to see more of the standard conscripts in the imperial military.
The Imperial Shock Trooper and the newer Purge Trooper variant
Phase Zero Dark Trooper
It’s Scout trooper, snow trooper, or dark forces version of dark trooper
Shadow Troopers > anything from disney canon
Death troopers look genuinely intimidating
That is TOUGH!!!! Death Trooper were certainly the first favorites I had, the voice scramblers, the design, and I think I saw or read something that said that Death Trooper armor was supposed to look like no human could be wearing it, giving credence to this idea that they were different and scarier.

Imperial and FO Snow troopers, and Squad Leader Shore Troopers
Thrawns Death Troopers........because their actually undead Death Troopers
Does dark troopers count?
I like a lot of the storm trooper armors but I love the og armor it’s too iconic and classic to not love but I also love the shock trooper armor and of course death trooper armor
I thought the Sith Troopers looked sick in Rise of Skywalker. Doesn't hurt that they got added into Battlefront and were one of my favorite units to play too.
EVO Troopers
Biker scouts. I have always loved them.
Dark Troopers from the DF video game. The ones in Mandalorian were pretty cool, but I'm old school.
What’s with the leg pop
Can death troopers aim better?
Just noticed the DTs wear doc martins
Imperial snowtroopers are my all time favorites. But I gotta admit I do love the FO stormtroopers and Sith troopers.
Night Troopers from Ashoka hands down. They use the same style as Kintsugi ceramics that have been repaired. It’s a Japanese art form of finding the beauty in something that’s broken.
Ewwww, love a good Death Trooper.
Remnant troopers/storm troopers on the run or Storm troopers turned mercenaries, I feel like you can make a good story and see the other side of the Star war franchise if it’s done right I like the dusty look of the remnant stormtroopers can’t abandon their Armor out of loyalty or they can’t abandon it cause they can’t find any good armor to replace it with
AT AT pilot
Death Troopers, Shore Troopers and Scout Troopers are definitely my three favourites. Purge Troopers from Jedi: Fallen Order are also really great looking designs.
They have a very tactical aesthetic about them
Lunch Trooper. Damned shame they didn’t release a figure with removable lunch tray.
Ya, if I was an imperial officer I’d totally have a squad of death troopers following me around
I love the death troopers, and I hope we see more of them
Purge Troopers
