okay now THATS funny.

personally it was some of the iron man threads and the transforming bumblebee armor.

but my favorite stormtrooper flub was when one of them hits their head on the door. in ANH.

Just read this from beginning to end. This thread is EPIC and should be required reading.

And where did Han and Luke put their clothes? When they get out of the trash compactor and take off the trooper suits, they are back in their clothes! Were they wearing these UNDER the body suit and trooper armor? Han's vest/BLACK RIDING BOOTS/Luke's Karate shirt/denim pants/and strap boots???!!!

this is something that has eaten away at my insides for years...

at least it was feasible that the 4 men could have been stowed on the falcon and ditched later - but the clothes, chewies pouch maybe? :lol

Yep, that's it! Gotta be!

Lando only trusts disarming the troopers to the mustached fighters.

Looks like Mr move along couldnt find any white duct tape to patch up that right shoulder !

Also noticed just as the speeder enters mos eisley C3P0's whole lower section looks like gold duct tape :confused

Good catch. I believe that was to allow 3po to sit.

wow have I learned a lot just skimming through this thread

 

[Stormsurge]

could be due to anamorphic lenses being used on the camera, sometimes can distort close to the edges.

(not sure if they shot anamorphic tho :confused)

"I see" said the blind man. B)

How's this?

still looks a little wonky.

I don't think so, but here is the frame corrected, and another frame reversed. The shot was flipped so I reversed it to better see the trooper.

Check out this screencap from the opening sequence of ANH :confused

Looks like this trooper has his belt on inside-out, as you can clearly see how the straps of the holster are attached to the belt by either pop-snaps or rivetted in place... normally this is hidden from view between the belt and the lower-back armour...

I can't wait to see Star Wars on HD-DVD or BluRay or whatever hi-def format wins through!

Cheers,

Thats the Belt that I've got! and yes it does look like it was put on the wrong way round.

He's a trooper nerd. It's like a pocket protector for Stormtroopers.

Another related question - so when they get to Yavin, are there two dead Stormtroopers still stashed away in a storage locker?

And I must say, for a farmboy Luke certainly takes to killing people like it's just another walk in the park.

Well isn't it just like bullseyeing womp rats in his T-16 back home?

Maybe his gun is set to stun?

Really? How´d you know that this is actually your belt? Did you screenmatch your complete suit or just the belt?
That´s great news, at least for me! Congrats Simon!

 

[Clutch]

It certainly looks the business. The only thing I see is the one in the screencap has the reddish-brown straps which I'm guessing is the natural leather color?
