Hot Toys Unveils Amazing Dark Troopers Figures!
If you had told me about five years ago that we would be seeing a live-action version of the Dark Troopers, I am not sure that I would have believed you. These droids were first introduced in the 1995 video game Star Wars: Dark Forces, where they were basically the menacing Terminators within that game. They were very threatening; when I encountered them in the game, I was on the edge of my seat trying not to get killed by them. Other iterations of the Dark Troopers have appeared in other media, such as 2005's Battlefront II video game, and in the animated series Rebels via the DT-series sentry droids. In the case of the latter, I did not find them very menacing, and was disappointed that this seemed like the closest that canon would ever get to trying to replicate the menace of the Dark Troopers.

It’s a pity that J.W. Rinzler never got to write the Making of books for the Star Wars movies of the Disney era. Maybe beside The Last Jedi, every other post-Lucas film had its behind-the-scenes dramas, which would be really be interesting to learn more about. (And I won’t talk about the drama that emerged after the release of Episode VIII here!)
