Caped Silver Storm Trooper Revealed

Cannot wait for more angles, love the black and red shoulder cape. First Storm Trooper design I'm seriously considering making.

 

Because of the cape, it reminds me of Boba Fett and Lando Calrissian at the same time, lol.

 

I'm feeling like this guy could be episode VII's "Boba Fett". He draws to mind the original concept of Fett as a super-trooper, maybe answers directly to the big-bad..

 

Do we know what sets him apart from other troopers? Rank? Overall badass?

 

With that cape he reminds me of the Mandalorian Death Watch captain from the 2nd season of Clone Wars. Very cool.

 

Not that I know of, but perhaps the press will get some information over the Star Wars celebration weekend. I would hands down assume he is higher in rank; there may be more than one, who knows.

 

And also,

Spoiler

he is supposedly a she

 

Definitely possible

 

Hmmm something very AR-15ish in that pic. IDK about that...hopefully it's just the dark lighting.

 

I think the blaster looks like one of the new Stormtrooper blasters with a butt stock added.

 

There is another possibility - this could be a SITH apprentice........
remember - there are always 2 Sith.

 

Being a woman definitely sets "him" apart.

The character is possibly played by Gwendoline Christie (Brienne from game of thrones)

Other than that I have no idea

 

Source?

 

New Crimson Guard maybe? I know he has a blaster and isn't crimson, but that's what the cape reminded me of. Has to be some kind of elite trooper.

 

Is the reason everyone keeps assuming this is Gwendoline only because she wasn't anywhere else in the trailer? I just don't get why people are assuming that...

 

More of an assumption based upon numerous rumors. Hell I could be totally wrong.

But it would definitely set him aside, after all there's not a lot of troopers out there with chesticles

 

I know I am going against the current here thinking it is not her, but I seem to recall her as being very tall and having long arms. I just don't see that in the image. This person looks to be more short and have a compact upper body. Of course I could be wrong...

 

I'm hesitant about it being her as well, but who knows.
