REQUIREMENTS
What are Elite Standards?
Because the stormtroopers vary in details between each movie, Stormtrooper Detachment Elite
standards are broken down to include base standards that every stormtrooper must attain, plus movie-specific
standards. This allows for a higher level of accuracy than can be achieved through a single standard.
Troopers achieving this distinction will be listed on the Stormtrooper Elite page. Base Standards
Base Standards are applicable to anyone wanting to achieve Elite status
in the FISD. They cover the basic costume and in essence cover what is required for Legion standards.
NOTE: On 21-Mar-08 FISD has ratified that FX helmets are no longer acceptable for Elite qualification. ANH Standards
In addition to complying with all base standards, stormtroopers wishing to
attain ANH Elite status must also complete the ANH standards.
Unlike ESB and ROTJ, there are two different helmet options: the Hero and Stunt. Troopers must choose one or the other. Lastly, troopers may choose among several different options, such as replacing the thermal detonator with a combination of grappling hook and comlink. ESB Standards
In addition to complying with all base standards, stormtroopers wishing to
attain ESB Elite status must also complete the ESB standards.
ESB standards are very similar to ANH but with some small differences, notably in the handplates, helmet, and holster / blaster. ROTJ Standards
ROTJ standards are still not ratified but should be by the end of April 2007.
In addition to complying with all base standards, stormtroopers wishing to attain ROTJ Elite status must also complete ROTJ standards. ROTJ standards are quite a bit different from ANH and ESB as they entail numerous changes to the armor as well as helmet. |
