Star Wars Black Series Clone Trooper

The Clone Trooper has 14 Star Wars Black Series figures — more than any anonymous soldier type in the line. Understanding the Clone Trooper figure range requires understanding the difference between Phase I and Phase II armour, the significance of unit markings, and which variants are army builders versus collectible one-offs. This is the definitive guide to building a Clone Army in the Black Series format.

Clone Troopers in Star Wars

Clone troopers are the genetically identical soldiers of the Galactic Republic — an army created in secret on Kamino from the DNA of bounty hunter Jango Fett, deployed in the Clone Wars against the Separatist Droid Army. They fight alongside the Jedi Order for three years before Order 66 compels them to execute their generals simultaneously, ending the Republic and establishing the Empire. The troopers’ arc — from loyal soldiers to unwilling assassins carrying inhibitor chips that override their free will — is one of The Clone Wars animated series’ most powerful themes.

Phase I armour is the rounder, less streamlined design from the beginning of the Clone Wars — seen in Attack of the Clones and early Clone Wars. Phase II armour is the more angular, upgraded design introduced mid-Clone Wars — it became the direct precursor to the Imperial Stormtrooper armour, making the visual connection between the Republic and Imperial military explicit.

Army Building Strategy

Phase I white army: Phase I Clone Trooper (AOTC 02) is the primary army builder — standard mainline, widely available. Four figures creates a flanking formation; eight creates a genuine massed display.

Phase II white army: Phase II Clone Trooper (CW 14) for the later-war standard.

Siege of Mandalore display: 332nd Clone Trooper (Walmart) army builders with Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars) and Clone Commander Jesse — the most thematically coherent Clone Wars display.

Unit diversity: Mixing Phase I white (AOTC 02) with green Sergeant (Blue Wave) and red Captain (Blue Wave) adds rank variety. Adding orange 212th and purple 187th creates a multi-battalion display across five figure sources.
