Star Wars Black Series Jet Trooper — Every Figure

The Jet Trooper is the First Order’s airborne specialist — a stormtrooper variant equipped with jet propulsion for aerial combat and rapid deployment. Four figures cover three distinct versions of the concept: the Rise of Skywalker First Order Jet Trooper, the Rise of Skywalker Sith Jet Trooper variant, and the Battlefront II gaming version. For the Rise of Skywalker display and army-building across the sequel trilogy’s airborne units, these are the relevant figures.

The Jet Trooper in Star Wars

Jet Troopers are human — First Order soldiers in specialised armour carrying integrated jet packs for atmospheric flight and combat. They appear in The Rise of Skywalker as part of the Final Battle on Exegol, deployed against the Resistance fleet in the planet’s atmosphere. Like most Rise of Skywalker trooper variants, they appear briefly in a film that introduced several new soldier types in its final act without developing any of them significantly.

The concept of First Order airborne troops extends the sequel trilogy’s pattern of creating specialised variants for each film — snowtroopers and flametroopers in The Force Awakens, praetorian guards in The Last Jedi, jet troopers and Sith troopers in The Rise of Skywalker. Each variant expands the visual vocabulary of the First Order military without requiring much narrative development, which suits army-building collecting well enough: you don’t need a character arc to want an airborne stormtrooper variant for the display.

The Sith Jet Trooper is the more distinctive of the two Rise of Skywalker variants — the red-armoured Sith order trooper with jet capabilities, associated with the Exegol Sith forces rather than the standard First Order. The red armour is the visual differentiator, following the pattern of the Emperor’s Royal Guard using colour to separate ceremonial or Sith-adjacent forces from the white standard.

The First Order Jet Trooper

The Red Line First Order Jet Trooper from 2019 is the standard white armour configuration — the Rise of Skywalker airborne soldier in the conventional First Order palette. As a fully armoured figure with no exposed face, the production era gap is irrelevant. The armour design, the jet pack, and the overall silhouette are what matter, and the Red Line figure delivers these accurately.

For the Starkiller Base and Rise of Skywalker displays, this is the accessible army-building option. The Carbonized Walmart exclusive covers the same figure in chrome finish — the metallic treatment gives it a different visual identity but the underlying design is the same.

The Sith Jet Trooper

The Sith Jet Trooper is the red variant — distinguished from the standard First Order Jet Trooper by armour colour and Sith order affiliation. Red armour in the Imperial and First Order context typically signals proximity to Supreme Leader or Sith power: the Emperor’s Royal Guard, the Elite Praetorian Guard, and the Sith Troopers all use red to communicate that distinction.

For the Exegol display specifically, the Sith Jet Trooper is the more scene-accurate choice — the forces of Exegol are the Sith loyalist remnant rather than the broader First Order military, and the red armour reflects that.

The Battlefront II Gaming Version

The Battlefront II Jet Trooper from Gaming Greats covers the character’s appearance in Star Wars: Battlefront II — the 2017 EA game whose campaign mode follows an Imperial special forces commander through Order 66 to the Battle of Jakku. The Jet Trooper in the game operates in the same basic concept as the film version but with the specific visual treatments of the gaming context. For collectors building the Gaming Greats Display, it’s the airborne unit entry for the gaming tie-in shelf.

The GameStop exclusivity applies here as with other Gaming Greats figures — retail channel or secondary market sourcing required.

Army Building

The Jet Trooper range is a modest army-building category — two film versions and one gaming version, with the Carbonized Walmart exclusive as the premium variant. For a Rise of Skywalker display, one or two Jet Troopers alongside the Sith Troopers and standard First Order Stormtroopers covers the Exegol battle adequately. The Sith Jet Trooper is the more visually interesting of the two film variants for display purposes, given the red armour’s contrast against the white standard troops.

Neither variant has seen a Galaxy Collection update, which makes the Red Line releases the current state of the art for both. As armoured characters without exposed faces, neither is a priority for a Galaxy Collection update in the way that human face figures are.

The Jet Trooper range overall is a solid but unspectacular addition to a First Order display. None of the figures have the cultural weight of the 332nd Clone Trooper or the design distinctiveness of the Death Trooper. They’re competent armoured variants that fill the airborne slot in the First Order military hierarchy, and for collectors building the Rise of Skywalker display comprehensively, they’re the figures that cover that slot.

If you’re building the Exegol display specifically, the Sith Jet Trooper is the more targeted choice. For a general Rise of Skywalker or sequel trilogy display, the standard First Order version works alongside the other white armour troops. One of each covers the visual bases without requiring significant investment in a character type whose screen time is limited.
