    The description of the Undead learning makes me think of Return of the Living Dead. When the one undead went into the Ambulance and used the CB to say "Send more paramedics" then a different undead later did the same using a police car saying "send more cops".
    I still have my Hardcover edition of Death Troopers and It was a fun read.

    As far as the Strom Troopers go, it seems like they were alive before the night sisters started their spell. The Strom Troopers that chased them out of the ship weren't zombies.

    the fact that these zombie trooper can tank blaster round to the head suggest that storm trooper armor really is good and just disipate the heat over a wider area leaving the victim in shock and badly burnt but within the capability of bacta to save them... which make sense for troop armor...
    a zombie trooper presumably cant feel the pain or go into shock... so even though their flesh may be burning under the armor they keep moving...

    I don't know if Thrawn would plan to continue to use the Night Sister magick in that way because he said they were volunteers who knew what they were signing up for.

    Megatron thought about using zombie’s that are being fueled by dark energon as an army in Transformers Prime. He succeeded but didn’t last for too long as the entire army was killed in the spacebride explosion. And then when Unicron took over Megatron’s reformed body he created an army of Terrorcons created from Predacons

    I when we first witnessed the night troopers, I wasn't sure what they were. It isn't likely many if any were clone troopers, due to their rapid aging process it is likely they are of an age now where they wouldn't be much use as a fighting force. This led me to only one real conclusion, that is they are the men used by the Night Sisters for additional protection, procreation, etc. Likely Zabraks. We all know many of them are already force sensitive and are subject to a variety of Night Sister magic for strength or force wielders in their own right.
    I can't find anything really hinting towards this, but it is the most likely thing I can come up with. It could even be males from the humanoid civilization already found on world; which could also be Zabraks. As, many did live separately from the Night Sisters and were only gathered as needed on Dathomir. It wouldn't be hard to assume they would use the same methods as shown on Dathomir.

    0:44 Was it? since we're looking at a show that follows characters from starwars rebels its more likely a reference to the episode where nightsister bodies reanimate since this is also night sister related that would make more sence to me.

    This is really terrifying. True Halloween story😁Glad that crew of the ship managed to escape. Great to hear about Han and Chewie :D I don't think Thrawn would take such risk to the galaxy. It's too much. Dead Troopers are really scary. They would be extremely dangerous to the galaxy. May the Force be with you too😊

      I think either Disney writers are getting way more into SW lore. And or Disney is really starting to listen to hardcore SW fans on or off social media.
      Either way, including a well known legends book lore into the Ashoka series can only be a good thing. The expansion of death troopers and their lore into canon is definitely the way to go. Let's be honest, the gross ineptitude of most storm troopers in the original movies bordered on the comical at times. One shotted canon fodder storm troopers almost 24/7 did not make the empire look like such a threat or too intimidating.
      If I'm to be honest, Disney are getting a lot more hate than is warranted by some fans now.
      Mandolorian is just the kind of more adult level SW that I needed to get back into SW. I don't care who says what. I loved Mandolorian series and Book of Fett too.

    I'm still hoping for an adult character, in Skeleton Crew, to tell a ghost story about the legend of the Death Troopers to Our 4 kids. Only for the kids, when lost in The Outer Rim and The Unknown Regions, to be wary of finding a derelict Star Destroyer, and having nightmares of these zombies...only to not realize that their nightmares were Force dreams/visions of The Night Troopers and the Death Troopers that were created on Peridea. Am I the only one who'd want to see that, esp. for the Halloween Season? I really hope We get to see some of the creation of the Death Troopers in the Final Season of The Bad Batch (esp. if some of the experiments take place on Mount Tantiss).

    while i think it was a nice reference and callback i dont think it will be used en mass. at least not in the way you're suggesting. im willing to bet it will culminate in something with the caskets Thrawn took with him but nothing ling lasting or drastically timeline altering. as much as its hated until we get official retconning of the sequal trillogy things do still have to ultimately (and unfortunately) culminate in that future. personally im hoping it does get some sort of retcon, but im doubtful.

    It's my headcannon for now that part of their undead transformation is an unleashing of the previously inhibited power of their muscles.

    Honestly I think death troopers ( the regular ones not the zombies ) are one of best things to come out of the empire and SW verse. A lot more grown up version of SW imperial troopers, who arn't always easy kills , one shotted by rebels or Jedi.. For too long most storm troopers, ( even from the original movies) looked way to inept ,weak. One shotted canon fodder to point of comical. Gideons death troopers and Krenic's death trooper guard were something that actually put up a fight , and even Mando was cautious of , rightly so.
