Star Wars: Rogue One Teaser Unveils New Stormtrooper

A new teaser for Star Wars: Rogue One has debuted a new kind of Stormtrooper…

By Ryan Leston 7th April 2016

A new teaser for Star Wars: Rogue One has debuted a new kind of Stormtrooper…

It’s official – we’ve had our first tease of the upcoming Star Wars spin-off.

And while it may not be the longest video we’ve ever seen, it certainly gives us a good look at one of its new arrivals.

Introducing… well, we don’t know what it’s called. But it’s a new kind of Stormtrooper.

Diego Luna Nabs Role In Star Wars: Rogue One

Ahead of the first Star Wars: Rogue One trailer, Disney and Lucasfilm released a short tease last night… and in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance, we got our first glimpse at this new Imperial threat.

And let’s be honest – he looks pretty badass.

Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that helmet. Rogue One actor Donnie Yen took to Twitter last year, and revealed a candid image of a group of new Star Wars helmets.

But while the image was quickly taken down (presumably after he suffered the wrath of Lucasfilm), it was too late – the new Stormtrooper helms had already spread far and wide.

Back to the helmet, it’s certainly a rather menacing new look… and the general consensus amongst the fans is that this could be either a Shadow Trooper, or perhaps a new design based on the Imperial Commandos.

But for now, we don’t really know… and it could be an entirely new kind of trooper.
