Character Background
Scout Troopers, commonly known as Biker Scouts, served as specialized reconnaissance units within the Galactic Empire. Unlike standard Stormtroopers, these elite soldiers received training that emphasized independence and adaptability, making them perfect for scouting missions on various terrains. Their lightweight armor sacrificed some protection for increased mobility, allowing them to operate the speedy 74-Z speeder bikes with expert precision.
In “Return of the Jedi,” these troopers were deployed to the forest moon of Endor to protect the shield generator that safeguarded the second Death Star. Their most memorable sequence involves the high-speed chase through the dense forests as they pursued Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Despite their specialized training, the Scout Troopers were ultimately outmaneuvered by the native Ewoks, whose primitive but effective tactics helped the Rebel Alliance achieve victory.
The distinctive armor design of the Scout Trooper, with its sleek helmet and segmented armor plates, has made it one of the most recognizable Imperial trooper variants in the Star Wars universe. Their specialized equipment included side-mounted targeting scopes on their helmets and EC-17 hold-out blasters typically carried in boot holsters, details that have been faithfully recreated in this Retro Collection figure.
Display this iconic Imperial trooper alongside other figures from the Star Wars Retro Collection to build your own Endor battle scenes or expand your Imperial forces. Multiple figures can be arranged in formation for an impressive army-building display that captures the mechanical precision of the Empire’s elite reconnaissance units.
