I guess a stormtrooper comic would be more miss than hit. Perfect.  |

I've read plenty of the old Star Wars EU novels *cough, COUGH* excuse me, Legends novels, and Timothy Zahn was one of the my favorites authors of the line. Two of Zahn's novels, Allegiance and Choices of One, were set between ANH and ESB. They featured our plucky Rebel heroes and Mara Jade serving as the Emperor's Hand. Zahn introduces a 5 member squad of Stormtroopers who, for reasons my tattered memory can't recall at the moment, end up deserting and becoming some de facto force of good. Albeit not everyone in the squad agrees with this notion, it just so happens their actions end up benefiting the plans of our plucky Rebel heroes and bewildering the Emperor's Hand. There's a stormtrooper, a scout trooper, a sniper, so on, I think every type of Imperial trooper is represented in the squad. There is some small measure of democracy in play as the squad figures out their next move (are we now wanted by the Empire? Would the Rebellion accept us? etc) but in action they still utilize the tactics and mentality drilled into them as Imperial soldiers. It was a different look at stormtroopers which I liked so yeah, a miniseries featuring them would be great. I remember those coming about but I don't think I ever read them. One of these days I'm going to re-read that EU stuff... |

Not Stormtroopers per say but I'd love a Clone Troopers comic similar to the Republic Commando book series.

I like this poll! I could see potential with any of them, it reminds me a bit of the old EU "Tales From/Of" books in the 90's, I loved exploring the broader Star Wars universe back then when it was still rooted in the original trilogy.
With the Stormtroopers, they're the classic to me and one aspect of Star Wars is the war aspect. They are effectively an army of soldiers, and military comics, movies, shows, etc. are a proven interesting genre, so that could be interesting here.
Snowtroopers are my sentimental favorite, ESB is my favorite Star Wars movie and it might be interesting to see what makes them specialized for deep cold environment combat (a great setting for potential storytelling).
But I'm actually going to go with the Royal Guard. You KNEW something special was up with them, even though we never saw them in action in the movie. I mean, to be hand selected as the Emperor's personal elite? I know as a kid my mind filled in a lot of details (the action figures helped with that), and of course Crimson Empire was a nice EU journey into that as well. But I'd be up for more exploration, they are just too cool.
