Star Wars Episode VII Stormtrooper Pics

[Wolfsburg]

Perfectly imperfect. I like it!

Can I get an Amen on that? Real-world humans in real-world costumes... We have returned to the beginning at last!

Well I'll give you a half an amen because you're not going to see massive battles of Stormtroopers unless they multiply them with a computer.

Has anyone updated any pep files with the footage from the trailer? I'd love to start on one but I like the wider front and most likely no mic tips from the trailer reveals.

 

[Rinzler]

Yeah I'd like a crack at new Stormtrooper bucket if anyone has uploaded a file

Had a bit of a play in photoshop with the trailer (this would be better if someone had a 1080p screen grab)
Inverted and multiplied.

You can see some of the details we already know like the cheek pieces and the greebles on the dome, but it looks like the face ends with a cut curved up vs mic cluster or the curve down we have seen in some fan versions.

 

[Sano]

I guess there are no mic tips anymore. Waiting for more pics to start the build!

Hi-res grab:

 

[Sano]

Here are two screencaps of some backarmor details.




It even shows that the neckseal it not completely closed.

 

[StarWars]

It appears that the chest piece is made up of 2 separate pieces that connect together.

Hey guys! My name is Juan Fernandez, the artist who did the interpretations of the new trooper helmets. Here is my revised version, based on what I've seen on the trailer. I know its missing a few details here and there ( as it was supposed to be a rough representation) but I think it might help with the overall shape of the helmet and the look they are going for. Hope it helps.

 

[SpyderDan]

After watching the teaser a million times, I decided to do a little image study of my own, trying to capture the proportions of the helmet from the front view now that we've seen it. I also tried to add in finer details, some that I think we can see hints of in the new footage. It is drawn directly over a collage of the helmets seen in the teaser, scaled, rotated, and perspective corrected as well as I could. Here is what I came up with:



This feels a bit wider at the bottom than most interpretations I'm seeing so far, and I think it makes a big difference, and looks more similarly shaped to the original Stormtrooper.

Nice work guys!

Here is SpyderDans helmet on some classic armour.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Ugh... They should have added the mic tips/filters on there. This is what a Stormtrooper looks like if you could tape his mouth shut.

 

[jdhogtexas]

At least they aren't seamless like the clone troopers were. I like the helmet so far, but the blaster not so much.

I have no problem with cgi troopers filling out the background of a large battle scene, just make sure the guys up front are real.

 

[skint]

Hopefully the armor adds some protection against laser fire this time...

Same here. I just hate to see CGI overused, especially when not necessary.

 

[Dogsbody]

Im wondering if their aim has improved any?

Never forget about this when talking about Stormtroopers bad shooting:
