  4. How tall were the 1977 TK’s from ANH.

    I read where Lucas preferred the person in the Stormtrooper suit to be 5'10". He liked the way the armor fitted a person that size. But, as you can see in the photos below, the people playing them were all different heights. I guess Lucas didn't tell the casting director to send out a call for anyone 5'10" X number of pounds. I know that they do this in the movies when they are casting for parts for extras or a certain type.

     

    If we are talking about Hamill, he is not what his bio says 5'9". All actors exaggerate things about themselves and the number one thing is usually height. You can tell that Hamill is not tall because of his chest piece being trimmed much shorter so you can see his AB plate.

     

    As for anybody that actually did play a Stormtrooper in the OT, meeting them now and trying to get an idea of what their height was 30 plus years ago would be hard, because as you get older your body compresses and thus you height shortens. So their height 30 years ago is not what it is now.

    I had my picture taken with Hammill at C V and I put him about 5'7" - 5'8."

    I purchased some gloves from you in the past and they were tremendous. You have given great service to 99.999% of the forum members and hopefully, you may reconsider down the road. I understand your anger and you went to the correct place to "voice" it out. There is always a "bad" apple in every batch, but it does not stop the making of the cider or the sauce!

  19. TK-5069 requesting EIB Heavy Weapons Trooper[FX][APPROVED] 2nd

    It can also be an easy way to go double EIB. Just take your EIB TK, add pouches, pauldron, pack and BFG and you're done :)

     

    The only real trick is just making sure your drop boxes are removable from your belt.

     

     

    You mention the "BFG." Currently, the CRL allows the use of an E-11. I personally don't think the E-11 should be allowed for a HWT- it kind of defeats the purpose plus almost every TK already has an E-11.

     

    Good time to open a poll whether we should allow the E-11 for EIB HWT??

     

    Thanks
