This article covers a subject from a Star Wars: Visions story that Lucasfilm declared is set in an alternate history within a reimagined galaxy.

"Soldiers. Ex-soldiers—or the remnants of Sith troops. We don't know. Does it matter?"
―Tono's Teahouse shopkeep, referring to the bandits[2]

The Bandit Troopers[3] were a group of bandits led by the Sith female Kouru that was active on the Outer Rim Territories planet Genbara twenty years after the Sith rebellion. A teahouse shopkeep believed the bandits were either soldiers or ex-soldiers, particularly theorizing they were former Sith troops leftover from the rebellion. They eventually began to stage raids on other settlements from a village on Genbara.[2]

Behind the scenes

"I'm proud of my innovative design for the Bandit Troopers. Have you ever seen a such a surly batch of stormtroopers? I think we were able to do something cinematic."
―Takashi Okazaki[3]

The troopers were designed by Takashi Okazaki and were inspired by the bandits in the film Seven Samurai, by Akira Kurosawa. Okazaki has referred to them[4] as "落ちトルーパー"[5] (fallen troopers).[4]
