Star Wars Storm Troopers Views
In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, the first troopers are cloned from bounty hunter Jango Fett, to be the Army of the Republic in the Clone Wars. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the troopers execute Order 66 at the command of Chancellor Palpatine, attacking their Jedi generals.
When the Empire is firmly stabilized and an Imperial Army/Imperial Navy established, the stormtroopers become Palpatine’s personal army and are stationed on Imperial bases and cruisers, as well as on the Death Star. They maintain these roles until the Empire’s destruction in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The following is a summary of the production of the Stormtrooper costume for the movie called Star Wars (now known as Episode IV: A New Hope / ANH ) Employee Liz Moore sculpted a design for the helmet as did someone called Nick Pemberton. These designs were based off conceptual drawings by Ralph McQuarrie.
The armor and helmets were manufactured at Shepperton Design Studios in England. The final molds produced and used for the stormtrooper armor and helmet in Star Wars (ANH) were hewed out of custom resin/metal composite by Andrew Ainsworth. The studio offered Andrew Ainsworth various plaster cast armor pieces for reference. A large vacuum forming machine which had a 15 ft x 3 ft bed was used for producing the armor and helmets. Preliminary production pieces were submitted for approval over a period of time. Some preliminary production pieces required redesign more than once before they were finally approved. Once approved, sets of armor were produced.
