Admit It, The Storm Trooper Hoodie is a Little Tempting

Posted by Mark Wilson at 6:40 AM on October 1, 2008

By Mark Ecko, this Storm Trooper hoodie will ensure that, at a moment's notice, you will be ready for an impromptu Star Wars convention or back alley role playing fest. It may sound like overkill, but to the die hard Star Wars fan, it's a whole lot easier than carrying around plastic armour everywhere you go. $US98 through Ecko's site, there's a pretty great Boba Fett version as well but it's lacking the ever-important, identity-protecting mask.

Stormtrooper High Heels Are Key to All Your Sex Fantasies

Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 2:30 AM on June 27, 2008

If Luke had worn these on the Death Star, Leia would have never said he was too short to be a stormtrooper. And then she would have smacked his sorry peasant arse to grab them. And maybe George Lucas would have never decided to produce the prequels after that. And the world would have been a much, much better place. But I digress. The question here is--and I'm asking you--how the heck can you convince your sexual partner to wear these and the rest of the uniform?

Samurai Stormtroopers Hunt Down and Exterminate Ninja Jedis

Posted by Matt Buchanan at 10:30 AM on February 9, 2008

If Star Wars took place in Japan and Jedis were ninjas, this is what Stormtroopers would hunt them down in during the Great Jedi Purge. They're obviously smarter than the average clone, too, since they're too dumb and clumsy to wield katana. Created by artist Yoshi Isao and on display at Gift Show 2008 in Tokyo, Giz Japan brings us this follow-up to his rendition of Darth Vader as Dark Lord of the Shogun.

Joe Kwazansky, local spokesman for the Evil Galactic Empire in Los Angeles, appeared in a press conference this morning confirming the rumours of an Imperial takeover of Christmas' celebrations. "The Emperor wants to assure His subjects that Xmas will continue as planned. The pug-nosed fatso, however, will pay for his crimes," Mr. Kwazansky said amidst the palpable shock in the press corps.

Stormtrooper Replica Helmet Looks Great, Costs the Earth and Smells of Plastic

Posted by Haroon Malik at 12:00 PM on September 23, 2007

stormtrooperreal.jpgIf you love Star Wars as much as us, you may want to sit down and be in a caffeine free, relaxed state before reading this. Here goes, Master Replicas has launched a limited edition Shadow Stormtrooper helmet. Awesome.

Instead of looking like a plastic turd as we were expecting, it actually looks rather smashing and we want. The production is seriously limited, only 500 pieces will be produced, and unless you are planning on starring in a Star Wars remake anytime soon, the shocking $649.99 asking price may be a little too steep. If you really want it, why not take a trip to a galaxy far, far away and bag your self a real Stormtrooper—it'll be cheaper. [eBay via Uberreview]
