TKedt[TK] Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 i think JJ should use members of the 501st to play stormtropers in order to pay tribute of what kept starwars alive all this years. Also, to keep congruency w ANH. Troopers had different size and builts. 501st troopers are legit they dont need to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6287[TK] Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 That would be nice if he did choose to use the 501st. However, if they did, it would likely fall to the guys in the UK Garrison. I don't see them paying for a bunch of US stormtroopers to fly across the pond. We can always dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRISTONAMO Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 The only problem with getting the 501st for stormtroopers is that we all have different armors from different makers, so the color will be off, the armor will look different unless they only hire people with armor from a certain maker. The next thing all the people playing all have to be around the same height, and weight as the movie feels is neccesary fro a Stormtrooper which will be 5'10 - 6' and weighing aorund 160-200 pounds. The next thing is this movie is after ROTJ, So they would most likely only want ROTJ troopers, and we don't have very many of those, there wouldn't be mixing in with other movie variations. Another problem is this movie takes place 30 years after ROTJ so I'm pretty sure they won't look like they did 30 years ago at all theres gonna be some big changes in the look. But that all does not matter, as Kevin Smith has confirmed that real stormtroopers are already on set so there won't be CGI troopers! We will see real stormtroopers in the movie just not the exact same way they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKedt[TK] Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 pretty sure those "real stormtroopers" are not as devoted as us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Fox[TK] Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 pretty sure those "real stormtroopers" are not as devoted as us Neither were the original Stormtroopers. They were actors, extras and stuntmen. They were paid. I would never say no to getting a part in the movie, but I am just fine with not destroying my own armor to take the falls those troopers are sure to take. As Cristian pointed out, there are way too many variables for them to use 501st. I am happy to do what we do and let them do what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Munchies[501st] Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm sure we'll all be working overtime at pre-release events to promote the films anyway. There will be many many calls from Mary Franklin for us to all suit up and support the release of the new films. To me I'd rather be out with the public watching the films than be up on the screen any day. Being the tangible part of the movies is a huge reason why I do this.

Izzy Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Point taken, but it would be sweet to point at the screen and say.."That's me...right there!" In a Star Wars film! -(Maybe that's just the kid in me talking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth[501st] Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Naw, I appreciate that. It would be cool. Heck, someday you could even go to conventions and say, "I was in VII!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagedzi[TK] Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Possible new stormtrooper with one-piece visor?? The rest of the armour looks very ROTJ, to me....Source: http://makingstarwars.net/2014/08/photo-stormtrooper-star-wars-episode-vii/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainWreck[501st] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 From one of the rumors I heard it almost sounded like the new helmets looked like the navy commandos but that's just speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagedzi[TK] Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Okay, this drawing may have more validity...maybe? LOL Kind of a cool streamlined look, for sure.http://instagram.com/p/rkJAnrHmDA/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagedzi[TK] Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The artist who drew that image--Tom Hodges--says:1. I won't reveal how I saw the Helmet 2. It was a PHYSICAL helmet, NOT CGI 3. I will do a new version later Take it for what it's worth.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjmediastudios Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'll wait until I see a photo, not just a loose-impressions sketch, before really paying much attention to the new design. Although it is great to know that there will be troopers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK8776 jgarrettg Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Have you guys seen these yet? They are rumored to be the Episode VII stormtrooper helmets. If they aren't, someone put a lot of work into them. They are pretty darn cool. Edited August 15, 2014 by TK8776 jgarrettg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan[TK] Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Mmmh..it's too much of a sci-fi motorcycle helmet and too little of the typically stormtrooper lineage. Changes are ok for over 30 years...but this is too much in a strange direction. Call me a fan of the old shool 'original' stormtrooper helmet(it's still always a bad an impolite person ) and maybe I'm a nagger...I can live with it. But it lacks something for me....
