Issue #21, The Last Flight of Harbinger, will give "more of a face to some of the Stormtroopers," writer Jason Aaron told StarWars.com . "That was one of my favorite parts of The Force Awakens, getting to see and getting to know a real character who was a Stormtrooper."These Stormtroopers, however, are the opposite of Finn—these are Stormtroopers "very gung-ho for the Empire." This elite crew of troopers aren't just fighters forced into the Imperial army, Aaron said. "I'm interested in the characters who would really buy into what they're doing and really feel like they're on the right side."Artist Jorge Molina worked with Aaron on the conception of the new Stormtroopers. "There's an explosives guy, a sniper, and a scout, and a big burly bazooka guy," Aaron added. The slideshow above shows the work-in-progress concept art.According to Aaron, issue #21 will introduce the Stormtroopers, and issue #22 will detail what the Rebels are up to. Following issues will have the "two storylines collide."Need a refresh on the series, which follows Luke Skywalker and his band a rebels?
