[Mr 9.8]

So, real or fake?

If these are legit then I really like what I'm seeing.

So this means we are getting another snow planet??

Or some other harsh environment that needs a heavier than normal life support armor.

 

Me like...

[Hado]

I like the regular one, but the Snow Trooper looks a little Cylon-y

Love it

[Magneto]

I like them. They modernize the look a little and still look similar to the original design.

[Useless Hero]

Really digging the updated Stormtrooper look. The Snowtrooper...not as much.

[media_junkie]

I think they both look great.

[Wally's Comics]

That would make a kickass motorcycle helmet!

[Chip Cataldo]

Another image...

I find this really funny for some reason. Even though the story takes place " a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." their tech was obviously light years ahead of ours. "Modernizing" something like that just strikes me as odd

[Eric Seffinga]

I want them both.

[AnthonyTheAbyss]

How about some Shadow Troopers!

That snowtrooper image would make a good album cover. Sorta reminds me of this...

I guess it's real if multiple pics are showing up, but my inclination would be to call them fake. Why would there be Stormtroopers at all? Is the empire or some fraction of it still in existence in these films? If not, why would the Alliance (or whatever the Rebels call themselves after winning) still use Stormtrooper armor for their soldiers?

Just because the Rebels won a battle at the end of Jedi, doesn't mean the billions of Imperials are likely to give up... Some high ranking official probably filled the power vacuum, called himself Emperor Palpetine II and the fight continues...

 

As for the new helmets, they need to incorporate glasses into those things. Anything to improve the aim of the average, half-blind stormtrooper...
