Star Wars Black Series Sith Trooper — Every Figure

The Sith Trooper is The Rise of Skywalker’s primary new soldier type — the red-armoured infantry of the Sith Eternal on Exegol, visually distinct from both the First Order Stormtrooper and the Imperial Stormtrooper that preceded them. Four figures cover this character type across the TROS launch wave, the Carbonized programme, and the Holiday Edition.

Sith Troopers in Star Wars

Sith Troopers are human — soldiers of the Sith Eternal, the hidden Palpatine loyalist movement on Exegol that spent decades building the Final Order fleet in secret. Their crimson armour is the most direct visual connection to the Emperor’s Royal Guard tradition in the sequel trilogy — red as the colour of Sith-adjacent Imperial power, carried forward from the Original Trilogy’s throne room aesthetics through the Praetorian Guard and into the mass infantry deployed at Exegol.

The distinction between Sith Troopers and First Order Stormtroopers is both organisational and aesthetic. First Order Stormtroopers are the regular military: white armour, standard equipment, the public face of the First Order’s military power. Sith Troopers are the hidden reserve: crimson armour, Exegol deployment, the Final Order’s specific soldiers whose existence was secret until Palpatine’s return. They’re a different army serving a different master, assembled in the same period but kept separate.

Their limited screen time in The Rise of Skywalker — the Battle of Exegol being the film’s final action sequence — means the character type has less narrative development than the First Order Stormtrooper or the various Original Trilogy soldier types. What they have is the visual impact of crimson armour at scale: the Exegol battle’s visual language is distinguished from the white-and-grey First Order aesthetic by the red of the Sith Eternal’s army.

The Launch Figures

The Red Line Sith Trooper and its First Edition packaging variant are both 2019 TROS launch-era releases — the standard figure and the First Edition card differentiation. Same figure, different packaging. For the Exegol display and TROS army building, either is the accessible standard option.

As fully armoured figures with no exposed face, both hold up for display at current production quality standards — the crimson armour is what matters, and the Red Line figures deliver it accurately.

The Carbonized Figure

The Sith Trooper Carbonized Amazon exclusive applies the chrome metallic finish to the crimson armour — the Carbonized programme’s treatment of the TROS launch’s primary new soldier type. For collectors who build Carbonized displays or who want the metallic finish variant, this is the Sith Trooper entry in that programme.

The Holiday Edition

The Sith Trooper Holiday Edition Best Buy exclusive applies the seasonal treatment to the crimson soldier — one of the more natural holiday fits among TROS figure types, given the red armour’s existing seasonal colour association. For the Holiday Display, it adds the Sith Eternal’s soldier alongside the Clone Trooper, Stormtrooper, and First Order seasonal equivalents.

Army Building

The Sith Trooper is the primary TROS army-building target for the Exegol display — the red-armoured mass that populates the Final Order’s battle context. The crimson colour creates strong visual contrast with the white First Order Stormtroopers that also appear in the film’s final act, and a mixed display of both soldier types communicates the two-army structure of the First Order/Sith Eternal coalition more clearly than either alone.

For the Exegol display specifically, two or three Sith Troopers alongside the Sith Jet Trooper and standard First Order figures covers the battle’s visual composition. The Red Line standard figure is the accessible army-building option; the First Edition is equivalent in figure quality.

The TROS Red Design

The crimson armour is worth examining as a design choice in the context of the sequel trilogy’s soldier palette. The Force Awakens introduced white First Order armour. The Last Jedi added the Praetorian Guard’s red. The Rise of Skywalker extended the red to an entire army. The progression tracks the First Order’s increasing Sith Eternal entanglement across three films, with the colour moving from exclusive proximity to the Supreme Leader to a mass deployment.

For a display that traces that progression — white First Order Stormtrooper, red Praetorian Guard, crimson Sith Trooper — the colour evolution is visible across three character types from three films, and the Sith Trooper is the endpoint.

Which to Buy

The standard Red Line Sith Trooper is the recommended army-building figure — no First Edition premium, accessible on secondary markets, the same design quality as the launch-era exclusive packaging. The Carbonized is for the chrome collectors; the Holiday is for the seasonal programme. Neither the Carbonized nor the Holiday Edition are the army-building base — the standard Red Line is.

No Galaxy Collection update exists for the Sith Trooper, making the 2019 Red Line the current state of the art. As a fully armoured figure this is less of a gap than it would be for human-face figures, and the crimson armour at 2019 production quality still holds up for the Exegol display alongside newer figures from other character types. The character type’s limited TROS screen time means a Galaxy Collection update hasn’t been a production priority.
