Storm Trooper Collectors edition Helmet

Stormtroopers are the footsoldiers of the Galatic Empire, their white, plastisteel armor and skull-like helmets bring fear to the species of the galaxy. Trained by the Imperial Navy, the troops are filled with those loyal to Emperor Palpatine.

The stormtroopers can trace similar thematic origins as the faceless android police officers of Lucas' first feature, THX-1138. Even their processed voices sound hauntingly similar. The faceless ranks of unending soldiers are meant to underscore the inhuman nature of the Empire. This is vividly contrasted by the Alliance ranks, that aren't clad in face concealing armor, and instead bear a human face.
