STAR WARS - Stormtrooper Commander - Figurine Vintage Series 10cm

Product Information

The stormtrooper training program promoted competition, ruthlessness, and unwavering loyalty to the Galactic Empire.

In one definition, the title of Stormtrooper Commander referred to the Imperial officer in command of a Star Destroyer's stormtrooper detachment, similar to the role of a Star Destroyer's Starfighter Commander. Major Ayer served as the Stormtrooper Commander of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Chimaera under Commodore Mitth'raw'nuruodo. [3] Ranks [ ] One Ewok donned a stormtrooper helmet during the Ewok Civil War. [26] The Night Troopers, a legion of stormtroopers [27] who disappeared with Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn" into exile [7] after the Liberation of Lothal in 1 BBY, [28] continued to wear stormtrooper armor that grew damaged over their exile. The armor was repaired with red ropes and a mix of gold and grey materials. Thrawn's Captain of the Guard, Enoch, wore a unique face plate on his helmet. [7] During the New Republic Era, some stormtrooper armor was painted with the symbol of the pirate Warbird gang as the armor worn by a pirate. [8] Additions to the suit [ ] Ranzar Malk: " Yeah, well, Mayfeld, he's… He's one of the best triggermen I've ever seen. Former Imperial sharpshooter." Din Djarin: " That's not saying much." Migs Mayfeld: " I wasn't a stormtrooper, wiseass." ―Ranzar Malk, Din Djarin, and Migs Mayfeld [107]

Due to the accelerated aging process of the Kamino-bred clones and the redirecting of the Imperial cloning program, real Human beings gradually superseded clone officers as the majority within the command structure of the Stormtrooper Corps. In the year 1 BBY, almost twenty years after the formation of the Galactic Empire, there was only a small minority of clone officers that remained active ever since the conclusion of the Clone Wars; Commander Cody was among the few clone veterans that continued to serve in the military. Due to the decline in the creation of clone soldiers and the growing preference for recruiting manpower, Cody found himself in command of a unit composed mainly of enlisted troopers, much to his dissatisfaction. [48] The character was not originally conceived as a woman, but rather was changed from male to female during casting, less than three weeks before principal shooting began. [8] Phasma thereby became the second on-screen female Star Wars villain, [9] after Zam Wesell. [10] With Captain Phasma, the filmmakers wished to "push the boundaries" of traditional roles for female characters. [9] As part of the lead-up to the film, Disney released a wave of Star Wars toys on 2015's "Force Friday". One such toy was a Phasma voice-changing mask, which contained the first dialogue heard by the public. [37] Other items included a costume for children as well as action figures. [38] Reception [ edit ]

Under the Fel-ruled Empire, military service as a stormtrooper was regarded by civilians and soldiers alike as a mark of pride. The Empire took great strides to promote enlistment through channels such as the Imperial Mission or enticements like the Continuity of Service. [42] After the One Sith established their control over the new Galactic Empire, stormtroopers became enforcers of Sith rule once more and were often directed to carry out their duties by spreading fear and terror amongst the galactic populace. Though much remained the same in terms of the recruitment policy, the stormtroopers of this era were just as capable of excessive brutality and genocide as their predecessors who served under Emperor Palpatine. [41] [55] The Empire fell at the Battle of Jakku, and with its defeat the mobilization of stormtroopers was outlawed.a b "Captain Phasma". Star Wars Databank. StarWars.com.

At some point in the Fel-controlled Empire's history, the Imperial Army adopted a relatively new tradition of recruiting the sons and daughters born "in the camp." All children born to stormtroopers, either during or after service, were encouraged to enlist in the army, making soldiering an hereditary career. Since they were not legally forced to follow in their parents' example, an incentive was added to the unofficial policy through the Continuity of Service, which allowed new troopers to serve in the same unit as their parents.

Retrieved July 9, 2018.Although heavily reduced under the Imperial Remnant, stormtroopers retained much of their former duties under the Empire of the Hand, another successor-state to the Galactic Empire that was founded by Grand Admiral Thrawn. [32] In addition to protecting the Hand's member worlds, the stormtroopers were ironically used as a liberating force to convince other planetary governments to join the Hand's confederation on their own volition, as opposed to utilizing the former Empire's common strategy of coercion and conquest. [31] Though the Empire of the Hand failed to achieve the same kind of longevity as the Imperial Remnant, stormtroopers continued to retain their services under the Remnant, which itself had begun adopting many of the Hand's political and military reforms. [34] The stormtrooper became a symbol of the Empire across the galaxy, [4] resulting in their blank armor persisting as a representation of the regime after its fall. [128] On Tatooine, citizens celebrated the death of Palpatine [75] and later fall of the Empire. In the liberated spaceport city of Mos Eisley, the helmets of stormtroopers were left on pikes [129] by 9 ABY. [99] After the space station's destruction in the Battle of Endor, the ruins of Death Star II settled within the waters of Kef Bir, a moon in the Endor system. As the years passed, the armor of deceased stormtroopers remained abandoned within the ruins, growing dirty with age and water damage. [130] In the New Republic's Adelphi Base lounge, [131] stormtrooper helmets were included amongst the war trophies the Adelphi Rangers kept above their bar. [104] Meslow, Scott (December 23, 2015).

Spacetroopers: Stormtroopers trained for zero-gravity environments with armor designed to breathe in space. Spacetroopers were used to patrol parts of the first Death Star. [162] Though the Empire and the wearers of the armor had pride and faith in it, Stormtrooper armor had the same limitations as most other types of armor and could not always be successful in completely protecting the wearer. Clone Wars veterans Kanan Jarrus and Captain Rex had low subjective opinions of its quality and ability to protect the wearer from harm, with the latter explicitly calling it "garbage" in comparison to the armor worn by clone troopers. [21] Clone stormtroopers were gradually supplanted as the Galactic Empire turned to the recruitment and conscription of birth-born soldiers. Before the Awakening, a prequel anthology, features the character in a short story centered around Finn. In it, she monitors Finn's performance in combat simulation and, although praising his skill, she criticizes his rescuing of a weaker soldier. Additionally, Phasma is featured in both the adult and junior novelizations of The Force Awakens. Scout troopers: Light-armored stormtrooper variants, trained as reconnaissance troopers, spies and survivalists. [27]LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy introduced a new, non- canon stormtrooper type known as the " beach trooper." They wore a standard helmet and swimming shorts, and could be found resting in hot tubs throughout some levels. a b Szostak, Phil (2017). "Phasma Unmasked". The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
