This is an odd picture to release to the public;
it’s a Deathrooper holding a Stormtrooper toy. And according to EW it’s not a bts photo.i don’t understand what you mean. Why do you think it is odd to release to the public?
Right, it’s an in-universe Stormtrooper figure. Just like having a GI Joe.
Or like Rey having the X-Wing pilot doll.
Fair enough. It just struck me as weird and random when I first saw it, but it makes sense now that I think about it.
However, changing the topic from one “why” to another. No I’m curious as to why an imperial trooper is holding it in the first place? I assume there’s been some kind of massacre (There’s some clear destruction seen in the trailer). But why did the Death trooper pick it up? Why would he care? Did they kill whoever owned it? Then why pick it up? This is the kind of image I’d expect from one of the good guys when witnessing the results of a massacre in order for us to sympathize with them. Did the Rebels kills these people? Seems unlikely, but RO is supposed to have a much darker tone than other SW movies, and Saw Gerrera is already being played up as being somewhat of an terrorist. Didn’t the Bloodlines novel have Leia being accused for some of his war crimes? Maybe this is one of them?
