Star Wars: Rogue One Teaser Breakdown - 25 Things You Need To See
12. Shadow Troopers
We got to see this shot in a short teaser, so it's already been scrutinised to death, even though, compared to a lot of what's in the trailer, there's not that much to it - it's mainly there to show off the new Shadow Trooper. Which is totally fine - it looks awesome. Although, for the curious, the shot itself appears to come from a key sequence we see a lot from later on the trailer.
There's various types of Shadow Troopers in the EU, including special Jedi killers, and around the same time in that now-alternate timeline the Empire experimented with droid soldiers called Dark Troopers, but unlike with the Grand Admirals, none of that appears to be being drawn on here.
