Star Wars 9could contain a big Clone Wars reference care of theFirst Order ’s new Stormtroopers . In keeping with the Disney era , J.J. Abrams ' final accounting entry in the Skywalker Saga has been produced under a cerement of immense privacy . Story details are unforthcoming , newfangled stamp member are yet to have truehearted character contingent , the shoot passed with nary a whimper , and buff are still clamour for a deed of conveyance . But some contingent have made their manner out ; Abrams himself has shared a couple of exposure from the lot , and there have been various rustling beside .

One of the most permeating reportage onStar war 9has been about red Stormtroopers , a twist on the First Order ’s infantry soldiers .   The reports originate fromMaking Star Wars , who exact   the flick features " a self-colored cerise Stormtrooper with black stripes " . The young random variable fitsStar war ' unremitting push for young merchandise models , and the intention itself has a unattackable custom .

TheStar Warsprequelsmay be still somewhat reviled by portions of the fanbase , but there ’s many who grew up with them - or had opinions stir byThe Clone Wars- who will appreciate the reference .
