Elite Stormtrooper Promo Art for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
With all of the big Star Wars toy announcements we've been getting lately, some cool new action figure promo art has surfaced for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. They feature an Elite Speeder Bike with a black Elite Stormtrooper and an Assault Walker with one of the new white Stormtroopers of The First Order. I believe this is the first time I've seen a black Stormtrooper like this for the movie, and as you can see, it also has the red markings across the chest, which has been joked about looking like it has sponsored by Dodge. I included a tweet at the bottom of the post to see the comparisson.
The photos come from Starwars7news, and they offer the following speculation:
As you can see both troopers appear to operate in a jungle like terrain. This is most likely the planet where Maz Kanata’s castle is located. The BTS footage showed us a quick glimpse at an action sequence taking place there, so probably expect these guys to be involved in it. I won’t be surprised if we see another speeder bike chase (like from ROTJ) in the jungle. As you remember the cast and crew filmed for a few weeks in Puzzlewood, which will most like stand for the jungle around Maz Kanats’a castle.
