EPISODE VII: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SNOWTROOPERS?!

Snowtroopers board the derelict Falcon in a deleted scene from EPISODE VII.

MILD SPOILERS! They were an intrensic part of early publicity for THE FORCE AWAKENS in cards and merchandise, and the Snowtroopers snow speeder toy was a striking new addition to the Hasbro EPISODE VII range. Sadly, the First Order Snowtroopers scenes of patrol and battle after discovering the presence of our heroes on Starkiller Base never made the film's final cut, presumably due to its potentially slowing down the fast pace of the gripping finale. Here's hoping a scene or two might get to the Blu-ray release next April.
