Over the summer, The Rise of Skywalker's new brand of Stormtroopers were revealed - a red-clad iteration of the classic design dubbed "Sith Troopers."

And while the implication was that these soldiers would have a Sith-infused edge over the traditional Stormtroopers and actually do something of note in the film, this is yet another majorly missed opportunity.

The Sith Troopers only show up for a few moments in the third act of the movie, sadly, firing upon the Resistance and...that's about it. There's virtually nothing to distinguish them from garden variety Stormtroopers aside from their colour.
