Having debuted in 2015’sStar Warsrun set betweenA New HopeandThe Empire Strikes Back , the ultimate fate of SCAR Squadron was never fully revealed , and they never re-emerge in the 2020 run plant betweenThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi . However , Marvel ’s Modern 10th - anniversary military issue has brought the elite force back as the squad ’s Sgt . Kreel grip with the germinate beetleweed .

As seen inStar Wars : A New Legacy # 1 , the short narrative " For The Love of the Empire " by Jason Aaron and Leonard Kirk starsScar Squadron aka Task Force 99 . This is fitting considering Aaron co - created Scar Squadron during hisStar Warsrun with creative person Leinil Francis Yu . To that end , this newStar Warsissue regard Sgt . Kreel and his elite unit of stormtroopers operate across the extragalactic nebula and determined to attain glory for the Empire even as the Rebellion grows in military capability .

Scar Squadron Finally Returns For An All-New Story

The 501st Legion’s Task Force 99

The stormtroopers of Task Force 99 were a unequalled group of soldier from the 501st Legion with varying skills and speciality . Not unlikeClone Force 99 aka The Bad Batch that came before them and instigate their unit , SCAR Squadron ’s Task Force 99 operated outside the normal hierarchy of the Imperial Navy , taking their gild right away from Admirals and often Darth Vader , who handpicked the unit members himself .

Although The Bad Batch revive series come to an last in 2024 , I think I ’ve found a room for Clone Force 99 ’s narration to continue on in Star Wars .

Task Force 99 had six operatives , each with their own distinct set of custom stormtrooper armour and weaponsdepending on their unique skills and proficiencies . They also had unequalled names rather than operating numbers : Aero , Cav , Mic , Misty , Shrap , and Zuke . SCAR Squad was led by Sgt . Kreel , a former Imperial spy wielding a green lightsaber he claimed while work undercover and " serving " Grakkus the Hutt in his fighting pit . Kreel also helped train Luke Skywalkerin lightsaber combat when the unseasoned Jedi was Grakkus ' prisoner , want the son to be a worthy sparring married person when they encountered each other .

The Galaxy Used To See Scar Squadron As Heroes

Especially on Horford

Now , this newStar Warsissue seesSCAR Squadron traveling across the galaxy , quell pocket of resistance and taking out key Rebel leaders trying to enroll for the Alliance in the wake ofA New Hope . Narrated by Kreel , Task Force 99 continues fighting no matter of the destiny in the name of the Empire and for its glorification , believing themselves to be the galaxy ’s expectant Cuban sandwich . To that conclusion , it ’s revealed that Task Force 99 often reminisces about the planet Horford where " they were treated like Moffs " .

allot to Kreel , Horford was an Imperial world that utterly loved and adored Task Force 99 . Not only were they celebrated as hardy protectors of the splendid Empire , but even the tike would act to be stormtroopers . However , Kreel tot up that the days of Horford were a long clip ago and that thing have greatly change since they were once hailed as heroes .

Sgt. Kreel Knew The Empire Was Losing Way Before Return of the Jedi

He Still Refused To Surrender

While the final destiny of SCAR Squadron was not explicitly revealed in this new issue like some might have hoped , Kreel ’s claim that he and his building block will campaign to their last breath is rather severalise , suggesting that they all likely go down in a blazing of glorification in armed service to the Empire . However , it would be nice if SCAR ’s succeeding and net fortune was fully revealed at some point ( beyond Zuke ’s death ) . With any luck , Task Force 99 will return preferably rather than later . Perhaps they could come along inthe upcomingStar Warsseries lay out after the warfare ’s remainder , seeking payback for the Empire ’s dying and surrender .
