Star Wars has produced some of pop culture’s most recognizable villains of the past few decades. Characters like Darth Vader, Maul, and the galaxy’s many bounty hunters have been capturing fans’ imaginations since 1977. However, the Commander of SCAR Squadron, Sergeant Kreel, may be the most unexpected addition to this infamous pantheon.Agent 5241 was first mentioned in Star Wars 2015 #9 (by Jason Aaron, Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, Justin Ponsor and Chris Eliopoulos) as little more than an agent of the Jedi relic-hoarding Hutt, Grakkus. Readers came to know him as Sergeant Kreel, leader of the infamous SCAR Squadron. His running conflict with the Rebels soon defined him as a standout villain in Star Wars comics, and certainly a candidate for an on-screen appearance like his fellow comic book introductee, the Wookie bounty hunter, Black Krrsantan.Kreel is first and foremost, a competent Stormtrooper. This alone is rare enough to make him stand out. Many fans have lamented that the pride of the Imperial war machine, its most iconic element, almost always feels like little more than canon fodder. Sergeant Kreel and his SCAR Squadron buck this trend and give fans a taste of what elite Stormtroopers can really do.RELATED: Star Wars Debuts Vintage Collection Krrsantan Figure Exclusively at SDCCRELATED: Star Wars Proved That the Sith was the Empire’s Biggest Problem
