Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 4 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ahead!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After appearing in Star Wars comics and video games, Purge Troopers just made their live-action debut in Obi-Wan Kenobi.<\/p>\n

Appearing in ‘Part IV’ of the Star Wars TV series on Disney +, the Purge Troopers from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are no longer just part of the popular Star Wars video game, or the Darth Vader comic book they made their first appearance in . <\/p>\n

Alongside Stormtroopers and Imperial officers, we find an instantly recognizable Purge Trooper in the thick of the Fortress Inquisitorius – the ominous, underwater base of the Inquisitors. They appear in multiple scenes, clearly a part of the daily life of the Fortress. Purge Troopers are designated Jedi hunting stormtroopers, equipped with lightsaber-resistant armor, and it’s only designated commanders who wear the red pauldrons we see both in-game and in the show.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the red visor and pauldron are a real giveaway, and though the Purge Trooper’s helmet looks as though it’s had a bit of a redesign, it’s almost certainly one of those pesky Fallen Order enemies.<\/p>\n

After all, the setting is perfect for it – the Fortress Inquisitorius played a big<\/em> part in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s ending, with Cal Kestis and Cere Junda making a daring escape after keeping Vader busy with a spot of sabotage. In fact, both the TV show and video game include sequences where a fortress window breaks and the water must be held back using the Force.<\/p>\n

Obi-Wan Kenobi sees the legendary Jedi holding back the waters just long enough to unleash them on some passing Stormtroopers led by a Purge Trooper, while Vader is kept busy repelling those waves in the video game. Both Cal and Obi-Wan also sneak into the fortress by swimming underwater\u2026 It’s almost as though someone at Disney was a bit of a fan of the game.<\/p>\n
