Why Does the New TK Trooper Armor Have a Poncho and Coat?
The recent episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 titled "A Different Approach" showcased a new armor for the TK Trooper as they have brown armored ponchos and coats paired with black goggles.
However, it should be pointed out that the new armor might only be applicable to troopers that are stationed on the planet of Lau.
Considering the cold and windy climate, it is likely that it is simply just a specialized armor for troopers on the planet so that they can comfortably do their duties.
It is still unknown whether we will see more TK Troopers in that specialized armor when we see them in future episodes but it's not surprising at this point if it's only limited to those who are stationed in Lau.
