A recently released image from the crimson-hued Sith Troopers among other images of the highly anticipated final chapter in the long-running Skywalker Saga.
These new troops are the main fighting force of the sinister First Order under the command of Sequel Trilogy antagonist, Kylo Ren, who took the lead of the army following Supreme Leader Snoke’s demise in the returning Emperor Palpatine’s decade-spanning plot to rule the galaxy far, far, away, and that they may even be Force-sensitive themselves.

This is all part of the lead-up to The Rise Of Skywalker’s release next month, with fan debate and speculation running rampant with each new image or tidbit of information. The motive of the film’s villains remains especially buzzworthy, with news of the full unveiling of the sinister Knights of Ren sending shockwaves throughout the fandom when announced.
Nonetheless, the Kylo Ren himself and not the First Order, which may make for an internal struggle among the conflicted of the Imperial remnants. If nothing else, these new soldiers will certainly be a great source of material for cosplayers, especially the good people at the 501st Legion. In the meantime, you can pick up the Empire Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker issue on November 28 wherever magazines are sold.
