Star Wars shares first official look at trans clone trooper

The Star Wars fandom has been given a first official look at the lives of the clone troopers behind the suit, so to speak.

Among the first of the stories it’ll tell is that of Sister.

Initially, all of the clone troopers looked the same – hence the name. However, after the transition to stormtroopers, the people behind the mask became more varied.

But Sister’s story comes from the time of the clones.

Star Warsfans may not be familiar with Sister, but her character isn’t new. That said, this will be the first time we’ve properly gotten to knowandsee her.

The Secrets of the Clone Trooperswill include Sister’s story, as well as many others.

According to Twitter account Star Wars Holocron, Rex, who fans will know well, gives a description of Sister.

It reads, “When one of our kind expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers, she figured she’d have to hide who she truly was inside.

“Fortunately, her brothers in the seventh Sky Corps gave her the name Sister as a constant reminder that she belonged.”

You’d think that this first look at Sister would be a joyous occasion for Star Wars fans, but it seems that some of them don’t know what joy is.

“This can’t be real. Gotta be a parody… there is no freaking way!”exclaimed@AI_EmeraldApple.

User @pausesosaasked, “What happened to the franchise I love.”

Fortunately, not all of the Star Wars fandom feel this way.

“That’s pretty damn cool!”said@Spartan_Tano.

Not only are fans supporting Sister, but they’re also here to remind those trying to tear her down that the character isn’t a new creation fromDisney.

This “first look” is in relation to seeing an illustration of her, not of her existence.

If Sister’s story doesn’t interest you, that’s totally fine, just move on to one that does.

We, on the other hand, are interested in learning more about this character, and are grateful we can finally see her.
