A new stormtrooper will show up in STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII called The Executioner.

From stormtrooper FN-2199 in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, comes another stormtrooper called The Executioner. Director Rian Johnson said that they will introduce the new stormtrooper in Star Wars: Episode VIII.

He has a matte black line that goes over half his mask on one side that sets him apart. The Executioner’s weapon is not unlike FN-2199’s at the handle but it has three spinning blades on the end. We think he has a shield but we haven’t been able to confirm if he actually uses it in the film or not.

Star Wars will come back in theaters in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16, 2016. Star Wars: Episode VIII  will be on December 15, 2017.
