Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 All, I haven't quite found the search verbiage to find out what the actual undersuits were in the OT. I have seen reference to some dancewear for the tour suits but that's it. Do we know what stormtroopers wore under the white hard stuff in the movies?

jnnfr72[TK] Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think wearing buckets under your armor would be painful, but maybe some troopers are into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 John Mollo stated in an old interview for ANH: "We had a black all-in-one leotard for the Stormtroopers" I put this info in the Reception Center under the undersuit part when I was updating it...... but it was somehow lost when we transferred it over from Joomla.... I will have to fix that..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 John Mollo stated in an old interview for ANH: "We had a black all-in-one leotard for the Stormtroopers" That's what I use! They're also called "unitards". You can get them at a dance supply store (online or in person), although getting them in a size to fit a large man can be tricky.

troopermaster Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't think they used a one piece unitard for undersuits. I think they wore a seperate black turtle neck dance top and dance leggings. The screen grabs and promo photos I have seen show they are not too tight either. There is a photo out there of a trooper taking a knap at Elstree and I believe there are one or two other half dressed troopers at his side. One has a white t-shirt while wearing the black leggings and leg armour if memory serve me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 @ Paul, so you are saying that John Mollo is wrong??? His interview was taken back from 1976, which means that it would have been fresh at the time of filming ANH or I should say "Star Wars" and not something 20 or 30 years down the road...

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Here's a link with the John Mollo quote from the Making of Star Wars book. -Eric Edited January 17, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm just going by the photo of the guys outside Elstree studios. They may well have used a unitard and/or seperate garments. Thinking about that photo, I think the guy with the white top just has black leggings with braces - no leg armour.
