The many appearances of “Mr No Stripes”

[CableGuy[Admin]]

(Not sure if this is the most appropriate forum section, but, here we go….)

 

Hey troopers,

 

Many of you are probably aware of the infamous “Mr No Stripes”, a trooper well known for being part of the group that stunned Leia in ANH. He delivered the line “She’ll be alright. Inform Lord Vader we have a prisoner”.

 

 

Assumed to be a costume error (as they forgot to paint his blue tubestripes), he is now a part of Star Wars history.

 

After a recent chat with a fellow stormtrooper fan, I decided to have a look and see if our friend Mr No Stripes appears anywhere else in ANH. I knew that he appeared in the blaster fight with Leia and Luke (grapple hook moment), however, I didn’t realise he was also present in the Luke vs Troopers fight following Obi-wan’s departure and a few other shots.

 

Here’s a few shots of this icon:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you know of any more appearances, do let us know.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Best wishes

Once upon a time whilst scrolling through the FISD I found this very interesting thread about our beloved Mr No Stripes. Might be worth a read if you like this trooper

On the other side of the coin, I've always wondered why the number of tube stripes varied so widely,  I wondered at one time if they were symbols of rank, but I'm chalking it down to just one of those "charming" inconsistencies.

The Mr No Stripes conversation comes up from time to time, he did get around but then I guess most of the costumes did with only so many costumes on hand

 

Here's an old thread from back in 2007 noting some of "Mr No Stripes" appearances https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12-armor-trivia/page/7/#comment-11158

"I'm still surprised no one has tried it with Mr. No Stripes. He is in the movie, promo poster, action figure photo, and the original action figures had no stripes either."

 

And

"I understand bloopers don't count, but Mr. No Stripes was not a background trooper, had quite a bit of screen time in multiple scenes, and was used in a promo poster. As a rule of thumb, promo posters tend to be perfect."

 

Here's another thread on "Mr No Stripes" to consider for basic approval from 2008 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/2664-mr-no-stripes-and-basic-standards/

Dan - I'm surprised you haven't yet replicated a Mr. No Stripes bucket HDPE style with weathering and appropriately matching trimming/sanding. Next on your list, right, with the trooper with the best imagery?

Haha. Well, my latest build (another mock-HDPE helmet) WAS Mr No Stripes until yesterday. Lol.



But I painted the stripes yesterday… :-(



Hehe. This is actually based on another ANH trooper, so the marking and weathering are not matched to MNS. I’m just being silly. Hehe
