Stormtrooper Oddities

[Clutch]

those are some gorgeous screen caps.

Not sure if these have already been show:
Shoulder armor falling off (right)

The right-hand side bicep armour on the Stormtrooper on the left appears to be on backwards

This fella in ESB on the left has no decal on the rear trap

 

[Clutch]

Check out where show-off's dropboxes are. :lol

 

[Clutch]

Is this stormtrooper missing an ear? I couldn't scan it because the photo wouldn't sit flat on the scanner.

 

[Treadwell]

I think it's just a victim of photo cropping.

 

[firebladejedi]

Check out this hand plate, it looks like corrigated cardboard??? Are these 501st approved??? :lol

 

[Clutch]

Yeah, those are odd ones. Still haven't figured them out. I figure they were just a quick fix for someone who forgot his handguards. :lol

 

[Jedi Loreen]

Yeah, who's ever gonna notice? :lol

What the heck does the guy on the right have tucked into his codpiece?

Looks to me like no stormtrooper costume is complete without a pack of Lucky Strikes stuffed in your crotch:lol

HAHAAH What a hillarious thread this is... after going through all of the pages, one realize the nature of one's odd humour... also, the more you look at the images, the sillier do some of the troopers looks, caught in a frame of their actions... I especially enjoy the picture of the troopers entering the Tantive in the beginning of ANH where one trooper has fallen over a rebel body.. I really laughed out loud when I studied how stupid it looked like... Thanks guys for bringing these small moments of gold to my attention!!

Bah! We'll never run out of stuff to nitpik! :lol Have you noticed that this is the most viewed thread in the Costuming Forum? :eek

Well I havent got a pic to show but has anyone seen the new 'making of star wars' book? Theres a pic of Luke and Han in their trooper gear with the helmets off chatting to George Lucas and it looks like their ab armour has been cut into two pieces above the cod area, this has probably been mentioned before and if so I apologise, great thread Clutch

 

[Treadwell]

I've been meaning to post about that as well. Whether or not the pieces were separate has been a point of debate here more than once, and that pic finally provides irrefutable proof.

 

[troopermaster]

Well it does look as though it is seperate and I believe they were supposed to be seperate, but they are not.

These two pics below prove irrefutably that they were not cut.

 

[JBReplicas]

Ah great pics!! It looks like the snaps may be there to hold the belt in position? Might it have something to do with the Han/Luke suits needing to be a bit more flexible?

 

[troopermaster]

Yes, the snaps are there to keep the belt in place.

 

[Clutch]

Look at how much curve that shoulder connector has. In the lower left corner of the lower left pic.

Since when did TK's carry DL-44's? :lol

No thermal detonators!

Reversed shot.
