Elite Stormtroopers for Marvel’s Star Wars Comic Revealed
Marvel's Star Wars comic is bringing in a new group of elite Stormtroopers that'll set off the next story arc.
Issue #21, The Last Flight of Harbinger, will give "more of a face to some of the Stormtroopers," writer Jason Aaron told StarWars.com. "That was one of my favorite parts of The Force Awakens, getting to see and getting to know a real character who was a Stormtrooper."
These Stormtroopers, however, are the opposite of Finn—these are Stormtroopers "very gung-ho for the Empire." This elite crew of troopers aren't just fighters forced into the Imperial army, Aaron said. "I'm interested in the characters who would really buy into what they're doing and really feel like they're on the right side."
