Ahsoka Finally Made The Storm Troopers Scary

Although "Ahsoka" primarily focuses on the return of many "Star Wars Rebels" characters, including the titular Jedi, Sabine, Ezra, and Thrawn, the Disney+ series quietly showcases what stormtroopers are capable of, with Dave Filoni proving there's more to the soldiers than simply missing every blaster shot.

From their introduction, "Ahsoka" immediately sets its stormtroopers apart from the Empire's legions shown throughout "Star Wars," with Thrawn's Night Troopers donning unique broken armor enlaced with gold and accented with red strips of fabric. Led by Thrawn and Captain Enoch (Wes Chatham) – whose armor is even cooler than the rest – the stormtroopers prove their capabilities many times, including helping Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno) corner Sabine and Ezra and even inflict serious damage onto Ahsoka's T-6 spaceship.

As if they hadn't already proved their worth, sacrificing themselves to the Great Mothers' Chant of Resurrection further sets Thrawn's Night Troopers apart compared to other stormtrooper legions. Surprisingly, the spell not only reanimates them into mindless zombies but brings out their full potential, proving that all this time, stormtroopers just needed to be immortal, even for a short time, to become a terrifying force in the galaxy. While it may be over, "Star Wars" fans may never see as qualified stormtroopers as are present on "Ahsoka."
