Turrican Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Any idea which brand the original RotJ Stormtrooper boots is? I had a pic from Alan Flyng , where he is on the wardrobe. In the backround of this pic, there are many boot paperboards which shown the real brand of the RotJ boots. But i lost this pic, so maybe any other one remember this pic or know the brand.

troopermaster Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm not sure about the ROTJ boots. I believe there were two types used in ROTJ - one for stage and the other for location? I wouldn't use the ROTJ trooper boots seen in exhibitons as reference though. The ones I have seen used white Elvis boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Stefan, What makes you think there are Stormtrooper boots inside those boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turrican Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I met Alan last year on the Dark Side Con in Bochum. We speak a lot about how it was to be a Stormtrooper in ESB and a Officer in RotJ. How it was to wear the troopercostume , to move in it.. ect. He take a look on my boots and said,are you know the brand of the used RotJ trooper boot's. I said no and he show me the pic and told me that the stormtrooper boots were in exact those boxes. Black chelsea boots. As the ones right near the table. Here's the link where i found the pic again and a interview with him http://starwarsinterviews1.blogspot.com/2010/02/alan-flyng-interview-star-wars.html I not can confirm it to 100% cause i not see any pic's of the boots in those paperboards, so i only can belive he told me the truth. Well, why he should lie on me? He also told me that the boots he wear in ESB as Stormtrooper had a kind of cork sole and got cut while walking on the carbon freezing chamber grid, but i have never seen any Chelsea boots with a cork sole. Well maybe they used also differend kinds of boots in ESB as well as in RotJ. Edited February 2, 2011 by Turrican Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
