Crosshair - The Soldier EDIT: ruclips.net/video/uJs1zoEugh8/видео.html Now, obviously we don't know if these were THE Dark Troopers, might have been a variant that predates even the first phase of the Dark Trooper program. Still, I think the design is very reminiscent of Dark Troopers, similarly to the training droids seen in Rebels. Little is known about the Dark Troopers in canon other than what The Mandalorian established so the creatives might draw inspiration from Legends to fill in the blanks as they see fit.
Technically, they are Dark Troopers in a way. From what I can tell from their appearance and affiliation, they are prototypes for the Imperial Sentry Droid, which themselves were inspired by Dark Troopers.
Also to prove this. In season 2 of the Mandalorian they clone researcher mentioned that the first 2 generation of dark troopers where flawed and that the flaw was the human element. Although we haven't seen 1st gen dark troopers they will most likely be human or cyborgs.
based on the music alone we can probably say that these are prototypes at best. When a known character or type is on screen or introduced in an episode we normally get the theme of that one mixed in at least a little bit though normally with bad type characters, at least until we know for sure what they are or they become grunts. its also possible that to keep us guessing they just didn't use it
Not even dark troopers. At this time, that concept hadn't even thought of. These are likely a variant of those security/training we saw in Rebels, one that predates them by several years.
This is actually a stronger model but yea...theyre cool but nowhere near as powerful as they should be... gonna just keep hugging the EU but Bad Batch is pretty cool.
After seeing this scene it makes perfect sense why they have a 100 percent success rate. They couldn't have seen the dark troopers coming and yet in a matter of minutes they managed to take them all down with nothing but their skills, coordination, and ineffective training blasters mind you
In retrospect, Tarkin might have been able to make them loyal assets if he had waited even a few days and let the shock of the republic became the empire wear off rather than sending them straight out at human targets they were not accustomed to fighting, had they seen what Saw's partisan's started to do later then pretty sure they would have gone after his people just as hard as they did droids during the clone wars.

Bad batch is likely generation 2 clones, which means that they have been in lots of missions and battles we saw our heroes in clone wars, also dont forget that every single mission a republic commando squad is in is always classified by the R.I
The writers of the clone wars said they had plans to introduce the bad batch much earlier. There’s an unfinished episode of the clones wars that features them, I’m pretty sure it’s on RUclips too.
As much as they cloned Jango Fett, cloning Force 99 and then mass producing copies of them could have been a very useful for the empire. You carry on using the generic clones as infanteer, but have each troop to have a Tech, Hunter etc to reinforce them.
@@B1_Battle_Droid528 I know I'm late to reply but I know Delta squad. Boss, Sev, Fixer, and Scorch. They were introduced in the star wars Republic commando video game.
So judging from the scorch Mark's left behind I take it the bad batch were fighting droid with practice ammunition while said droids fought with live ammunition? I know it's the empire and all but that's still messed up
I mean, sure but the design is obviously inspired by the Dark Troopers and I do think the Dark Trooper program will be related to these droids if the creatives ever flesh out more details.
Fun fact, the first empire dark troopers were the last ever batch of clones, given no DNA restrictions (even ARC troopers and captains had SOME) so they were essentially a group of armored, highly trained, best food, weapon wielding boba fetts
This is such an awesome scene, it’s crazy. I love echo fighting like an ARC, and Crosshairs trick shot (chefs kiss). I also love how after the shot cross is just chill like yeah I did that whatever. 😂
Yeah because they sound nothing like them and sound more like the dark troopers in the force unleashed. These are prob a variant of phase zero dark troopers. Dark troopers and sentry droids kinda looked alike especially these kind
Personally I don’t think those are dark troopers, they look more like some sort of precursor to the DT-sentry droids that appeared in rebels, which the empire could’ve possibly taken inspiration from the kaminoans. The reason I don’t think these droids are dark troopers is because it’s a kaminoan facility and dark trooper variations and phases were held somewhat a secret among the imperials. Secondly, the fact that these droids are automated would mean that the only possible dark trooper variant would be phase 3, because the first two phases have an organic user. The only logical assumption is that these machines are a variation and mix of phase 2 and phase 3 dark troopers, in essence a 2.5 model.
I would give anything to see Phase Zero Dark Troopers/The jet pack stormtroopers from the OG Battlefront games. They would be easy to add to canon too. Either their injured Clones with robotic limbs, or they could be Beskar Troopers. Their armor is shiny enough
I can hear galen marek's/starkiller's rage from here. I frikin hated these guys in force unleashed. Even if its not the exact same ones but... Its technically the same ones but clone trooper versions. And minus the damn shield, electric wristblade and GOD. DAMN. SHOULDER MOUNTED HOMING ROCKET LAUNCHER. Though it is nostalgic hearing the sounds of them again here.
lol, no he doesn't. He was pissed they didn't die when he arranged a sideswipe. To Tarkin, every problem requires a hammer. And he reacts poorly when he's disproven.
Except Astartes have superhuman speed and reflexes that even Jedi won't match, can rip both Wrecker and Dark Trooper droids to pieces with bare hands and have both genius level intelligence and a century of experience. Not to mention better equipment. You CAN create Astartes analogues in Star Wars based on Republic Commandos, Bad Batch, Dark Trooper/Zero G exosuits and Vader's bionics, BUT Empire had cancelled all those projects before they even matured, not to mention going as far as combining their results. Another one of Palpatines "achievement" that would have given him unmatched force superiority, but was lost to incompetence of his own and his chosen subordinates.
@@LoreFreak 1)that's what my comment about to begin with; 2)I don't actually believe that most Jedi have much of a chance. They're agile, can somewhat defy gravity in their long jumps and have Force act as reflex boost with limited precognition. Problem is, even with dubiously canonical "Force speed" that was only in Phantom Menace as an explanation for editing error and in games after it, Astartes actually are VERY fast and have enough experience to not get caught up idle or get shocked easily. Think of it as akin to fighting Gundyr/Gael or any other fast boss in DSouls. You can somewhat outmaneuver them, but never outpace.
damn imagine if we see clone force 99 in book of boba fett,that would be a sight to see,and since they are fugitive and fennec knows them it kind a possiable
That wouldn't make sense from a lore perspective. By the time Boba Fett comes back around, the bad batch would already have to be dead. They need to die in the show when it ends, otherwise it creates more inconsistencies.
Just like in the real world. Those who deviate from policy, or standard practice, are those who get punished. Even when the results are both positive and beyond what is expected.
I love how the Dark Troopers have that Forced Unleashed damage sound effect of the Purge Troopers whenever they get critically damaged by the Bad Batch.
Spoilers if you haven't watched star wars rebels or the mandalorian season 2.... ... You've been earned... These aren't dark troopers. If you watch season two of the mandalorian they revealed that the first two generations of dark troopers had human elements. These things are similar to the imperial imperial security droids from star wars rebels. Admiral Thrawn had two of them In his office and used them for training. Looks more like they could be the prototypes or early model of those droids.
According to Star Wars lore… Dark Troopers, or the Dark Trooper Project, wasn’t created until later in the days of the Galactic Empire and were first created as a result to replace the limbs of nearly dead troopers. Sadly, most went mentally insane and ended up killing themselves! Later full robotic models were built, Phase 0 were mostly prototypes and phase 1 was the complete model of the phase 0, if I’m correct. Phase 2 and Phase 3 were later models for harder combat. Phase 3 was later formed into a suit and be operated by a human or just operate on its own like a regular droid. Sadly they were expensive to make and the production had come to halt. But as we later see in the Mandalorian, Moff Gideon attempted to remake the dark troopers in order to give more “power” to the Empire. Of course these models in the Mandalorian were more of a mixture/combination of Phase 2 and somewhat Phase 3. NOTE: I could be wrong on some of this lore and please ignore my name lol.
Ik this is unrelated but GOD DAMN do those heads make me scream *"FOR THEE EMPEROOORRR!!!!!!"* Ik theres gonna be some peeps comin in hot at me but, come on I got 40k space marine vibes from that
I though the dark trooper program started with humans and these can’t be gen III before the program even started maybe some advanced training version of the super battle droid I don’t know but it definitely has heavy inspiration from the dark troopers.
Honestly we simply don't know if it started with humans though the Mandalorian did imply given Doctor Pershing's quote: "The final iteration of Dark Troopers no longer has the human component, its only weakness". I am paraphrasing.
No, they are Imperial Sentry droid prototypes. The Empire made these things to guard unimportant supply ships, and it worked obviously, can you imagine weequays with pistols and spears against these things?

Nah if these are 0 models, they arent human yet, think phase 1 and 2 are human then phase 3 cyborg.
I love how the Dark Troopers have that Forced Unleashed damage sound effect of the Purge Troopers whenever they get critically damaged by the Bad Batch.
I'd say "by the book", but...
They are nerfed Dark Troopers. But they still kick ass.
Spoilers if you haven't watched star wars rebels or the mandalorian season 2....
...
You've been earned...
These aren't dark troopers. If you watch season two of the mandalorian they revealed that the first two generations of dark troopers had human elements. These things are similar to the imperial imperial security droids from star wars rebels. Admiral Thrawn had two of them In his office and used them for training. Looks more like they could be the prototypes or early model of those droids.
Wrecker just Bautista bombs them lol
They sound exactly like the purge troopers from the forced unleashed
According to Star Wars lore… Dark Troopers, or the Dark Trooper Project, wasn’t created until later in the days of the Galactic Empire and were first created as a result to replace the limbs of nearly dead troopers. Sadly, most went mentally insane and ended up killing themselves! Later full robotic models were built, Phase 0 were mostly prototypes and phase 1 was the complete model of the phase 0, if I’m correct. Phase 2 and Phase 3 were later models for harder combat. Phase 3 was later formed into a suit and be operated by a human or just operate on its own like a regular droid. Sadly they were expensive to make and the production had come to halt. But as we later see in the Mandalorian, Moff Gideon attempted to remake the dark troopers in order to give more “power” to the Empire. Of course these models in the Mandalorian were more of a mixture/combination of Phase 2 and somewhat Phase 3.
NOTE: I could be wrong on some of this lore and please ignore my name lol.
No, Phase 3 is the only one to be a droid. Phase 2 models look exactly like Force Unleashed purge troopers, and are suits
2:19-2:21-2:23 that was dope!
Ik this is unrelated but GOD DAMN do those heads make me scream *"FOR THEE EMPEROOORRR!!!!!!"*
Ik theres gonna be some peeps comin in hot at me but, come on I got 40k space marine vibes from that
I though the dark trooper program started with humans and these can’t be gen III before the program even started maybe some advanced training version of the super battle droid I don’t know but it definitely has heavy inspiration from the dark troopers.
Honestly we simply don't know if it started with humans though the Mandalorian did imply given Doctor Pershing's quote: "The final iteration of Dark Troopers no longer has the human component, its only weakness". I am paraphrasing.
They started with clones
Clones that were Too old to fight and had their limbs and organs removed
@@LoreFreak We have seen second gen, look it up
No, they are Imperial Sentry droid prototypes. The Empire made these things to guard unimportant supply ships, and it worked obviously, can you imagine weequays with pistols and spears against these things?
I like dis song
Imperial Purge Troopers aka Imperial Dark Troopers from Star Wars The Force Unleashed!
