Star Wars Black Series Purge Trooper

Purge Troopers are the Inquisitorius’ dedicated soldiers — clone troopers specially selected and trained to support the Empire’s Force-sensitive hunters in their operations against Jedi survivors. Four figures cover them across the gaming tie-in and live-action contexts, with a Jedi: Fallen Order gaming version, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series Phase II variant, and a Holiday Edition rounding out the range.

Purge Troopers in Star Wars

Purge Troopers are human clones — the same genetic stock as the Republic’s clone army, now retrained and repurposed for a different mission. Where standard Stormtroopers enforced Imperial law and maintained order, Purge Troopers were specifically deployed alongside the Inquisitorius for the targeted elimination of Force-sensitive individuals. They’re better trained for that role than general-purpose soldiers, and their association with the Inquisitors gives them an operational context that connects them to the dark side enforcement apparatus directly.

Their existence as a distinct unit type acknowledges something important about Order 66’s aftermath: the surviving Jedi aren’t simply going to be caught by ordinary soldiers. The Inquisitorius needed their own dedicated military support, and the Purge Troopers are the answer to that requirement. In Jedi: Fallen Order they’re the soldiers Cal Kestis encounters alongside the Inquisitors, and in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series they provide muscle for the Inquisitorius’ Fortress Inquisitorius operation.

The Phase II armour variant distinguishes the Obi-Wan Kenobi series Purge Troopers from the Phase I design — the same role, updated equipment, the visual language of the series’ specific production design.

The Gaming Greats Figures

The Red Line Purge Trooper from 2019 is the original Gaming Greats release — the Phase I configuration from Jedi: Fallen Order’s initial production, the first Black Series treatment of this troop type. GameStop exclusive distribution.

The Electrostaff Purge Trooper (Fallen Order) is the follow-up Gaming Greats release — the same basic figure with the electrostaff weapon that is the Purge Trooper’s most distinctive equipment. The electrostaff is the operational tool that distinguishes them from standard stormtroopers in combat: a melee weapon designed for engaging lightsaber users, capable of conducting and absorbing Force powers. Cal Kestis encounters them specifically because they’re equipped to counter his combat style.

For the Gaming Greats Display, the Electrostaff version is the more visually specific choice — the weapon communicates the role more clearly than a standard blaster would.

The Phase II Armor Figure

The Purge Trooper (Phase II Armor) Walmart exclusive from the Obi-Wan Kenobi sub-line covers the character’s live-action configuration — the updated Phase II design as it appears in the series’ Fortress Inquisitorius sequences. The Phase II armour is more angular and more Imperial in visual language than the rounder Phase I design, reflecting the years of design evolution between Fallen Order’s setting and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

For the Obi-Wan vs Vader Rematch display, the Phase II version is the era-accurate choice — the Inquisitorius’ soldiers as they appear in the specific production that sub-line covers.

Army Building

The Purge Trooper is a more specialised army-building target than the standard Stormtrooper or First Order equivalents. They belong specifically in Inquisitorius-adjacent displays — the Obi-Wan vs Vader Rematch, the Gaming Greats Display, or a dedicated post-Order 66 Jedi hunting scene. One or two figures alongside the Inquisitor figures provides the military support that the Inquisitorius display context requires.

The Phase II version’s Walmart exclusivity makes multiples more challenging to source than mainline army builders. For collectors who want the live-action Purge Trooper in depth, secondary market sourcing is often the practical route.

The Holiday Edition

The Purge Trooper Holiday Edition Entertainment Earth exclusive applies the seasonal programme’s treatment to this specific soldier type — the same approach as the Clone Trooper and Stormtrooper holiday variants, extending the seasonal programme’s coverage into the post-Order 66 Imperial military. For the Holiday Display, it adds a dark side military type that connects the festive shelf to the broader Black Series’ Inquisitorius context.

Purge Troopers in the Wider Collection

The Purge Trooper range connects three display contexts: the gaming tie-in world of Fallen Order, the live-action world of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the seasonal Holiday programme. They’re not the most prominent figure type in the line, but they fill a specific operational gap in the Inquisitorius display — the named Inquisitors need soldiers, and the Purge Troopers are the soldiers that make the most sense for that role.

For collectors who build the Inquisitorius display comprehensively — Grand Inquisitor, Reva, Fifth Brother, Fourth Sister, Seventh Sister — the Phase II Purge Trooper from the OWK sub-line is the army-building complement that completes the picture.

The electrostaff is worth understanding as a collecting detail. Most soldier-type figures carry blasters because blasters are the standard Imperial and Republic military sidearm. The electrostaff is a specialist weapon that communicates a specific operational requirement — these soldiers are deployed against lightsaber users, and they’re equipped for that. It’s the kind of figure detail that rewards knowing the source material: the weapon makes the role legible in a way that a blaster wouldn’t.

The Purge Trooper range is small but coherent. Three distinct configurations covering three distinct contexts — gaming, live-action, seasonal — with army-building potential concentrated in the OWK Phase II version for the Inquisitorius display. Start there if you’re building toward the OWK scene, and consider the Electrostaff version as the Fallen Order display addition.
