This was a creepy moment for Star Wars

The use of Deathtroopers have finally become canon for Star Wars, let's dive into why they were so well done & effective.
#Disney #Ahsoka #StarWars

[@maclunkeystudios21]

I love how those two death troopers were actually the ones that Ezra nonchalantly shot down in the Rebels finale when he’s entering the Chimera’s command room, and now they’re back to get revenge

[@Competitive_Bid_]

Technically they didn’t die when he first shot them as his blaster he used against them wasn’t designed to pierce there armor.

[@Makkis]

​@@Competitive_Bid_from a distance it wouldn't, but a point blank shot is still potentially fatal

[@qc-minh.9307.]

if im not wrong, in Rebels, Thrawn actually has 3 death trooper on the Chimera . When the Ezra use the force to hold Thrawn on the bright, he surprisingly attacked by some stormtrooper including a death Trooper approach to the hologram room

[@themadladorian4364]

​@@debkalpapal2682It's in the thumbnail.

[@squulliam]

The thing I like the most about the reanimated night troopers is shortly after their reanimated they're like most classic zombies, single minded brutes and some are slightly more competent still able to operate their blasters but with little real accuracy, after sometime being reanimated they became more coordinated and sentient as the great mothers magic is likely restoring their minds. They're magical zombies done right.

[@Competitive_Bid_]

It makes me wish we got to see Mando get into a close quarters fight with a "living" Death Trooper where we could actually see him struggle with one, considering a Death Trooper and Mandalorian in hand to hand combat seem evenly matched if we count the Genetic and Cybernetic enhancements the Death Troopers are given.

[@orionriftclan2727]

They don't have accuracy because of the force and it's BS

[@masturch33f66]

They’re like the Flood from Halo

[@themeekkat]

Exactly. A lot of people (mostly grifters) are complaining that they aren't exactly like the death troopers from the books. (They want extreme gore on a TV 14 show) Some people even ignore that they were using blasters.

[@thefrogstronaut]

I assumed the ones that were firing accurately were just not part of the initial assault on the ground floor and just waiting higher up in the tower

[@ligmaball1977]

I realize that those were thrawns death troopers during rebels and if you see the finale of rebels Ezra shoot them when he confronted thrawn which means they have been zombies for a long time

[@viperson9818]

It is said that imperial armor is able to absorb shots especially the death troopers one to avoid immediate death. But yeah with their decayed look seems they’ve been dead for a while.

[@Competitive_Bid_]

@@viperson9818finally someone say it. JUST 👏🏻 BECAUSE 👏🏻 THEY’RE 👏🏻 SHOT 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 DOSEN’T 👏🏻 MEAN 👏🏻 THEY’RE 👏🏻 DEAD! 👏🏻 most of the time when we see them get shot or caught in smaller explosions there incapacitated or knocked out from the blaster bolts energy. Since their armor was designed to disperse energy from blaster bolts, stun shots, and explosions, along with providing protection from shrapnel, thus why several of them can take many shots or are seeing moving on the ground after being shot or blow back from an explosion. There were only a few known blasters that could actually pierce the armor worn by stormtroopers & other Imperial military personnel, but they were often Super illegal and hard to get such as the DL-44 or any of the A Series Blaster rifles like the A180, A280, A280c, & A300 models. Also the Bowcaster such as the one Chewie had, we cannot forget that.

[@Elutai]

@@Competitive_Bid_ bro its star wars, you think disney sticks to the logic of how the armor works? if main character hits random guy then random guy is dead, which is why these guards are... you know... dead?

[@The_Lunch_Man]

I find it interesting that the troopers continued to gain speed and strength the longer they went from the point of reanimation. They started sluggish and zombie-like, then started using blasters more and more, then flanking Ezra from behind, and using laser cutters to blow a door, and then RUNNING up the stairs full speed. They even stopped groaning and moaning later on, making more human like grunts, using cover, and reacting with pain when shot. i wonder if being so freshly killed, they reanimated with their minds more or less intact, just needed time to adjust. They didnt strike me as purely puppets. The Death Troopers on the other hand were long dead, and behaved like aggressive golems, but they did speak briefly during the fight with Sabine and Ezra. Really hope we get some sort of explanation for how reanimation magic works.

[@shadowspringtrap3122]

I didn't even think that they were deathtroopers until I heard them speak and then I was like: Damn, so sick.

[@captain_commenter8796]

If the rest of the Night Troopers were as formidable/scary as the Shadow/Death troopers, the stakes would have been WAY higher

[@mizu4305]

Then if the stakes were that high people call it unrealistic

[@maulok8441]

The troopers really weren't bad at all though

[@TheGeneralGrievous19]

Seeing actual undead Death Troopers was really satisfying, since many thought all the stormtroopers we've seen before would be zombies. They're really creepy.

[@MUSTANG_P51]

seeing these Death Troopers was awesome! Especially the one that was choking Sabine. Seeing the trooper with his face portion of his helmet destroyed reminded me of the Legends Novel, which had its own trailer, with the bloodied stormtrooper having it helmet destroyed, allowing us to see his face. I think a film adaptation of the original Death Troopers novel would be amazing for Halloween.

[@orionriftclan2727]

Oh boy, they would need to get the right director who treats it as not star wars just something with star wars flavoring, like Andor

[@TYSniper]

@@orionriftclan2727 A tv show in the vain of The Walking Dead, but Star Wars. Surviving on a derelict star destroyer with zombies, trying to make their way to the control room to see if they can even power the ship on to get a signal out, or get toward an inhabited system. Also running the risk of the virus spreading as well.

[@davyr847]

I liked Thrawn's first introduction scene but is sad we never really got to see his tactical genius on display fully

[@Azurek1991]

He realized how driven Ahsoka was and put every roadblock he needed in her way.

[@tanishdesai3884]

Thrawn was best known for his naval tactics … although unfortunate we didn’t get that in this season I’m sure we will see it in future projects. Also , even though we didn’t see his full tactical genius we saw glimpses it.He didn’t underestimate Jedi and the force and unlike most imperial officers we see he did not fully commit his forces just to destroy his enemies, his primary goal was to escape and he did so in such a way that he loses minimal resources. In conclusion, he went up against 2 jedi ( 3 of we count Sabine ) and stranded 2 of them while losing like 3 squads of stormtroopers and 2 tie fighters. Like thrawn said they were “ acceptable loses “

[@WeaponizedAutism7]

What we have so far hasn’t necessarily squandered him or ruined the character, but he needs to lay an absolute SMACKDOWN on New Republic forces next time in order to be taken seriously

[@Jesse12489]

He working on what he got at the moment. A damaged ISD1 and a few troopers left. He throwing everything at them and making sacrifices to achieve his goal. He feels bad about it you can tell. But he has to do it if his plans are to succeed.

[@davyr847]

@Jesse12489 he didn't underestimate his enemy and didn't blindly throw all his limited resources at them. But all we got to see was him essentially keeping ashoka etc at bay/buying time. I hope in season two we see him use actual strategy to outmanouver/out smart the Republic, rather than simply a calculation of acceptable losses

[@jpmountaingaming5681]

We need more content with deathtroopers. They’re a super cool imperial and they don’t show up that often and when they do, they usually die pretty quickly or just stand there doing nothing.

I like the fact that they kinda go through a more rapid version of what happened to Zombies in Romero's movies. From 'Night of the Living Dead' to 'Land of the Dead' where they start out really kinda mindless though still a threat, but then regain elements of their former selves and learn to use things, like firearms, much as in this case a few seem to maintain it more or less from the start. With the Deathtroopers seeming like they were reanimated some time ago between how they look and how they seem to be almost normal.

[@captainhuntank7963]

honestly those kinda zombies would be more terrifying to face, its one thing if they are like the walking dead zombies, but add in normal zombies that not only regain their memories and abilities in their past lives, but also figure out how to run and problem solve, they would be almost scary to face

These are zombie troopers which originated in a major Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) mod known and talked about by the Star Wars community quite commonly in the early 2000’s to 2012 as far as I am aware. In fact, they were even talked about in a Star Wars book called: Death Troopers (by: Joe Schreiber) and to see them brought to cannon in the new episode was certainly “a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one”

Clearly they've been dead for a long time, and if it was the Great Mothers who resurrected them then it shows how ungodly powerful they are to keep them permanently resurrected. Even Old Daka, the oldest, wisest and most powerful of the Nightsisters on Dathomir, had to actively focus on keeping the spell going so the corpses stayed animated.

[@onetuffspartan1981]

Death troopers being one of my favorite things in Star Wars this was a beautiful sight for me haha not only was it kept a surprise till the last episode but my boys finely got some much needed screen time kicking ass.

[@adamb89]

This whole fight I was like "Just cut their heads off. They're slow as shit, just cut their heads off!" And when it finally happens it only happens the one time. It's like watching a child try to ram a square peg through a round hole, finally shoves it in the square hole and you think he got it. But nope, turns out he was still aiming for the round hole and missed.

In the novel Death Troopers There was a part that the death troopers use blasters to shoot the doors open in one chapter. And they did that in the show, I thought that was a cool nod the book

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Also, the LEGENDS Death Troopers were far more dangerous in that they could infect others. A single bite, and it'd be a matter of time until you were one of them. If you thought taking the easy way out by your own hands would spare you from this, your corpse would still get up on its own. The infection wasn't smooth either. Hallucinations, madness, essentially rabies until you died and got back up. Wookiees got it the worst. One of the darkest moments is when the main characters come across a Wookiee child crying while holding onto his deceased parents' arms, refusing to leave. The cast, unaware of the disease even existing at this point, decide there's nothing they can do to help and walk away. What follows is described as a sudden roar, a fearful scream, a crunch, then silence.

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

Okay, imma put my personally banger Pitch for a Disney Death Troopers. So the story starts with the New Republic receiving a distress call. "THE CITY IS COMPRISED BY AN IMPERIAL (Static) SEND REINFORCEMENTS!" So, a team of some Rebel soldiers is shipped out to investigate the distress call. The team arrive to the city who requested this presence, and find a ghost town. They reach out to the Rebel base located on the world, and they get static, likely as a result of an ion strom, which is complicating communications. They arrive at the Rebel Cell, and are greated by the only survivors of the bio-weapon. Who all survived because they were droids. We get a snarky BX Commando Droid "Scissors." A medical Droid who is undergoing the closest thing to PTSD a droid can experience. We have a B1 Pilot Droid who despite actually being increadibly competent is always downplaying his own capabilites. We have Greeves: A Tatical Droid, who is far more droidlike compared to the rest of his group. Scissors constantly tells Greeves to shut it.

All this ties into old lore, surrounding the Celestials, and a being known as the Mnggal-Mnggal. the Deathtroops virus, "Project Blackwing" was found to actually use components, and actually be the creature itself. The Mnggal-Mnggal was a creature, much like the Flood from Halo universe, that fought the Celestials and what was the main cause for the latter group to create the Galactic rift between the known galaxy and Unknown Regions. I think that there is some kind of connection with this new Deathtrooper, the Celestials making a comeback in a form, as well as a few small bits and pieces here and there.

My thoughts is that there's not nearly enough portrayals of Death Troopers. We need more!

[@MelonBoi]

I think that there was definetly some form of magic involved with the night troopers. What i think is that instead of being reanimated from the start, the great mothers used some sort of spell that would make them have less need for food and sleep (since Paridea doesnt seem to have any valid food sources other than maybe Howlers, this way they were able to survive on thier rations way longer, before, to no ones surpise, they had to start hunting and eating Howlers and possibly even Noti) and overall more resiliant, but not zombies. I also dont think that trawn asked the mothers to reanimate his already fallen soldiers (exept the Death troopers), since that doesnt seem like something trawn even in his "lowered" rationallity would do. I think trawn, especially in this situation, would strongly belive in the mindset of "having uneffective soldiers is like having no soldiers", since the reanimation spell semms to deteriotrate the intellegence of the troopers down to "Step 1: chase enemy. Step 2: kill enemy". The uneffective troops tactic might have worked for the seperatists, and even sometimes the Empire, because of the number of troops. Here this doesnt work since the only troops trawn has are maby half a star destroyers worth. So in summary i think that the night troopers are magically enhanced, but not undead.

[@michmill7007]
