Star Wars Unveils First Official Look at Historic Trans Clone Trooper!

As a lifelong Star Wars fan who has grown up with these characters and their stories, I can honestly say that the introduction of Sister, the trans woman clone trooper, is a truly groundbreaking moment for the franchise. It’s not just about adding representation to the galaxy far, far away; it’s about showing that the Star Wars universe is diverse, inclusive, and reflects our own world in all its complexity.


In the ever-growing Star Wars realm, fans are granted an even closer peek into the lives of the Clone Troopers. The publication of Star Wars: Unveiling the Clone Troopers’ Secrets, a new canon resource book from Insight Editions on October 8, 2024, provides fresh perspectives on the galaxy’s most renowned military force.

This engaging book set within the Star Wars universe offers a deep exploration of the clone army’s history, tracing their beginnings on Kamino to their significant involvement in Order 66. It highlights beloved clones such as Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and Clone Force 99, drawing from various sources like movies, series, comics, and other materials for its content.

Offering interactive features such as pop-up displays, flaps to lift, exclusive artwork, and a poster, “Star Wars: The Clone Trooper’s Hidden Truths” creates an enjoyable and captivating exploration for both young enthusiasts and collectors.

Significantly, this book presents the initial cloned trooper identified as transgender woman, affectionately called “Sister.” This character significantly expands the representation in the Star Wars universe with an innovative twist.

The Book Unveils the Mysteries Behind Clone Troopers, Introducing Sister – a Transgender Female Clone Trooper 🏳️‍⚧️

In the book, Rex describes Sister as follows: “When one of our kind chose to express their gender identity differently than other troopers, she felt compelled to conceal her true self.

The book’s official summary presents Sister as a clone trooper hailing from the 7th Sky Corps who doesn’t conform to the typical gender identities of her fellow clones. At first, she struggled with revealing her true identity, but her understanding companions acknowledged her uniqueness by giving her the name “Sister,” thereby acknowledging her belonging within their group.

In the Star Wars universe, Sister is not a fresh character but rather one we’ve seen before. However, this is the first occasion where her gender identity has been explicitly emphasized.

A transgender female clone trooper named her served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, working alongside prominent figures such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Commander Cody. She later joined forces with Skywalker and the 302nd Battalion on a humanitarian mission to Langston.

This development is seen as a bold move, though it has sparked online debate among some fans.

Cringe as fuck.

Are others finding themselves asking, “Could things possibly get any worse?” It seems that whenever we reach a point where I exclaim “This must be the rock-bottom for Star Wars,” the following day brings new developments that make it seem as if those lows were never even touched.

Is the Republic/Empire paying for bottom surgery?

In a hypothetical scenario, could Star Wars’ advanced technology alter or modify characters’ biological sex entirely as they can transform a man’s facial appearance? Let me rephrase that for you: Is it plausible within the Star Wars universe that their technology allows for a complete change of gender, given their ability to drastically modify appearances such as transforming a person’s face?

But they are clones, they are literally cloned from the same clone

Instead of saying “it’s like [character] but better”, we could rephrase it as “it’s is like [character], but with a unique twist”.
