The Stormtrooper Lego Star Wars Minifigure has featured a wide variety of Star Wars Lego Sets. Although the standard Stormtrooper looks almost the same in every set they have been released in, over the years, they have been slightly redesigned more than once. After the Old Republic was abandoned and the Empire born, the Clone Troopers were reorganized into Stormtroopers.

The Stormtrooper minifigure appears in a number Star Wars Lego Sets including Imperial Star Destroyer 6211, Ewok Attack 7139, TIE Fighter 7146, Final Duel II 7201, Imperial Inspection 7264, Imperial Landing Craft 7659, Imperial Dropship 7667, TIE Defender 8087, Endor Battle Pack 9489, Cloud City 10123, Death Star 10188 and Imperial Shuttle 10212.

There has been several different Darth Vader Star Wars Minifigure with minor variations, however I will only review the major changes. The original Darth Vader was released in 1999 and had black legs, black arms, and black hands. His torso has a special design showcasing a control panel with red and blue buttons on his torso, with grey outlines around it. Finally he had a cape, a grey scarred minifigure head and a red lightsaber.

The Darth Vader Battle Damaged Star Wars Minifigure was released in the Star Wars Lego Set Rogue Shadow 7672. The minifigure has a grey headpiece displaying a black eye and scars on the left side of his face and a shattered mask on the right side. He wears a black headpiece that goes around his neck, representing his broken mask, and has a grey leg piece, one black leg piece, and a black belt.

In 2010 the Darth Vader minifigure had a redesign torso, legs, cape and helmet, also introducing the pupils for the first time. This current variation is only available with the Star Wars Lego Sets Imperial Shuttle 10212 and Millennium Falcon 7965.
