TheStar Warsfranchise has consistently been a source of innovation and revolution in the sci-fi genre. George Lucas launched the franchise in 1977 with stunning visuals that viewers had never seen before. The film also introduced fans to some unique character designs, including Darth Vader and his mechanical suit.
Actor Hayden Christensen later took over the role and donned the iconic Vader suit after playing the character’s Anakin Skywalker persona during the prequels. As a result, the Darth Vader suit has remained relevant and is widely considered one of the best in the franchise. Nonetheless, these five otherStar Warsarmors also deserve similar recognition.
5Enfys Nest
Under Disney’s reign, the franchise has largely struggled to have the same impact asGeorge Lucas‘ stories. However, despite underperforming at the box office,Solo: A Star Wars Storyintroduced one of the best armors in the franchise with the character Enfys Nest.

In the film, actress Erin Kellyman played Enfys Nest, the leader of space pirates called Cloud Riders. The character has become memorableamongthe fanbase for her unique armor, which comprises beskar armor plates and scavenged material, leading to one of the coolest character designs of the Disney era.
4Death Trooper
The Death Troopers are one of the best and unique takes on the typical Storm Trooper design that was first introduced in the 1977 original movie. The group of elite Imperial soldiers specializing in stealth and espionage was first introduced in 2016’sRogue One: A Star Wars Story,proving to be an instant hit.
The Death Troopers are known for their all-black design which allowed for several customizations and tactical gear. Theyaddeda visually striking quality to the otherwise routine Storm Trooper design that fans had gotten used to. The Death Troopers also played an important inThe Mandalorian, under Moff Gideon.
3Clone Commandos
The Clone Troopers preceded the Storm Troopers, with their creation being a major subplot of the prequel trilogy. However, with time the Clones have received their own dedicated stories, especially the Clone Commandos, who have appeared across differentStar Warsmedia.
Unlike the other Clones, the Commandos were equipped with Katarn-class Commando Armor, a specially designed suit for the elite group. Furthermore, the blue visor design makes the Commandosstand outand the leaders could customize their suits with different groups such as the Clone Force 99 diversifying the design.
2The Mandalorian
The MandalorianstarringPedro Pascalbecame the first live-action series set in the galaxy far, far away. The series sheds more light on the Mandalorian bounty hunter culture, with the group characterized by their beskar steel armors, which have a varied set of designs.
However, the titular character’s slick and shiny armor is arguablyone of the bestarmor designs in the franchise. It is instantly recognizable and goes with the show’s space western vibe, giving Pascal’s character a lone gunman aesthetic. As a result, Din Djarin’s Mandalorian armor has become a part of theStar Warsiconography.
1Boba Fett
Boba Fett has to hands down have one of the best armors in the entire franchise. Although the character has been around for decades, his armor rarely receives the recognition it deserves in the modern era with the franchise diversifying with several armored characters.

However, despite having very little screentime during the original trilogy,the OG bounty hunterleft an impression because of his unique design, and Fett’s armor was a large part of that. The character remains one of the most popular action figures from the franchise, which further cements Boba Fett as the epitome ofStar Warsarmor drip.
