One of the biggest Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reveals thus far (aside from Emperor Palpatine's return) has to be the Sith Troopers. Clad all in red, it sounds like they're going to be even more sinister than the regular Stormstroopers and Rogue One's Death Troopers, but not much has been revealed about them beyond their appearance.
Well, a new piece of official merchandise for the movie has now revealed that the Sith Troopers are "the finest Troopers in the Galaxy" and "under the strict command of Kylo and the Knights of Ren."
Does this debunk theories that they're under the watchful eye of Palpatine? Not necessarily, as rumours actually point to them secretly being under his control before turning on Kylo. Right now, it's hard to say what will happen, especially as we still have only that vague teaser trailer to go by. However, the time is surely coming for another sneak peek to be released.
That's bound to be with us in the next month or two, so we'll be sure to keep you guys updated!
