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.

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

The part where we saw that one trooper's jaw hanging out was creepy, that was pretty graphic for Star Wars and Disney in general.

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.

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

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

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.

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_P]

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.

I was definitely getting Blackwing virus vibes every time they had undead troopers on screen. Especially when the mask broke on the death trooper.

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

[jpmountaingaming]

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.

Loved it, I was screaming my head off with my friend the entire time they were on screen 💀

[Dark.Shingo]

That moment when the sisters began chanting and making them rise was like "Oh shit got real!"

[SebDystic]

I’m not even mad Sabine was able to use the force. Not only has it been hinting at it all season, but she was training with Kanan in rebels and even Bendu, a force being look at her, hinting there’s something more going on with her, so it kinda makes since in a near death experience would unlock her full connection to the force

[viperson]

Sad to see my dream death troopers performance live action was only achieved due to them being zombies. Finally they're able to reach their true potential of not getting one shotted.

I wish Disney wasn't afraid to show dismemberment.

[bodiless]

You have the ultimate zombie fighting weapon in a lightsaber. Stop STABBING and start slicing.

Said virus very likely originated with Sith Alchemy;

Have you read Joe Schreiber's 'Star Wars: Red Harvest' before?

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.

[macwelch]

I honestly loved the fact that Sabine managed to unlock her powers
