Not sure if we should document "reimagined" figures in the BTS but that's a debate for another time. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:15, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
it's so neat seeing the noms from ages ago back here <3 leaving cursory note for record's sake that background has been taken out on the helmet image for dark-mode friendliness —spookywilloww^talk 11:43, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

~~I think there's enough room in the second part of the BtS to include an image of one of those LEGO depictions~~ Fan26 (Talk) 00:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Added. (Credits to JMAS for removing the image's background) Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 04:38, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

~~Could you give full dates for the two 2014 dates in the BTS?~~ Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- While official product pages (Sideshow and Hot Toys) suggest the figure was expected to release in Q4 2014, rebelscum.com actually says that they released it in March 2015. I therefore changed it to reflect the latter date, if that works for you. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
  - Sounds reasonable, but now you have like 3 2015 dates that need to be full :P Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:20, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
    - Done XD Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
      - Sorry, just realized that 2017 has several instancesas well :P Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:03, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
        Done! Less work for the index page now :P Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

~~Is it "Shadow trooper" or "Shadow Trooper"? It seems like a lot of the sources use "Shadow Trooper", a fact noted nowhere in the article. ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 14:26, 9 May 2023 (UTC)~~
- Most, if not all, toy packages capitalize all Star Wars terms (like "Battle Droid" or "Scout Trooper") and I don't think they are valid sources for in-universe capitalization. Other sources, on the other hand (the game Battlefront, its Companion and Strategy Guide, Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor, and Star Wars Insider) are pretty consistent about the decapitalized "shadow trooper." Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
  - What about the Force Collection cards? It seems like they intentionally capitalized "Shadow Trooper". ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 17:02, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
    - Yes, but literally every card in the game (Super Battle Droid, Clone Trooper, Stormtrooper, etc.) has their subject name capitalized. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 17:26, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
    - I didn't mean the title, I was referring to statements like "Shadow Troopers are highly trained..." and "Shadow Trooper armor is..." ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 17:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
      - My bad, I didn't explain myself clearly. I meant the subject names, like the examples above, are always capitalized in text as well. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
