Star Wars Episode VII Stormtrooper Pics

[James Kenobi 1138]

New Stormtroopers look very McQuarrie inspired and easier to wear than the OT. I'm digging them !

So the SW celebration troopers are production-made from the movie and not fan made?

I spoke with one of the troopers and it appears all the costumes at celebration were made by the individule 501st members with the helmets provided by Avanos

I thought Anovos provided everything? Since they're making them...

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

Probably something like the new Anovos ANH Stormtrooper -- Anovos-provided finished helmet, and armor kits the costumers had to finish and build themselves.

Dunno... The trooper I asked whether they got to keep their armor said that she built her armor, so yes she did...

 

[Chicagovader]

it was a kit from Anovos so they had to put the armor together themselves, the helmet came finished and was picked up at Celebration I believe.

"Wilson, I'm sorry!"

Am I wrong or is there a kind of Imperial Gunner near the TIE-Fighter?


Besides, I like the new TIE-Pilot:


But I don't know why there's only one tube getting into the ChestBox... Maybe they love this asyncron thing?!

And who the **** is this guy? A new Tarkin?


And this guy with a black stomach and only pouches on his chest:


So many awesome funny things in detail...

I think the last pic is a tactical vest. In the first pic, you can see some regular storm troopers facing the red flag and stage, with nylon webbing straps around their back. I think they're the ones with the vests.

 

[Peralton]

I like that there are variations. I see the tactical vests on a couple (from the back) along with at least one flamethroower (flametrooper?) trooper with a big tank on his back and is that a shield on the far right, almost off screen?

@Necronaut
Yes, the last Picture shows some standard new-Stormtrooper in a tactical vest. But for now it is still a nice detail.
The first pic is an animated-gif of that scene (the last 3 pictures are zoomed). I took many screenshots and the last pictures shows that this guy seems to be an Imperial Gunner! Look at his jaw...

 

[Jodo]

Did anyone notice that the Stromtroopers on the "stage" are wearing orange pauldrons?

I think it's a (brilliant) solution to the problem of maintaining the asymmetrical "wonkiness" of the OT helmets while also having the precise, symmetrical construction that real military armor would have.As we've seen ,the guys making this movie are thoroughly aware of The RPF and the prop and costume culture, so I'm sure they've been around for the complaints that arise every time some company makes a symmetrical OT Stormtrooper helmet or whatnot. "It just doesn't look right! The wonkiness was what gave it personality!" and so on. I suspect this is their way of having their cake and eating it.

the helmet is supposed to be 1/4" fiberglass ... was the armor ABS since the 501st had to finish it?

 

[jkno]

My true love for the old "crappy" armors and suits will never die. These are quite nice, a bit too much like TRON suits or the new Total Recall robots though. But I guess everything will connect with how good the new movie(s) will be in the end.

The placard for the incinerator trooper and snowtrooper both said "molded polyurethane" for the armor. That implies resin, to me.
