tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yep, they were shooting blanks. I thought this was common knowledge. There are a few scenes in ANH where you can see the 9mm casings ejecting from the blasters. In most of the firefights you can also see muzzle flashes. It's especially obvious in the screen caps caught at the instant a trooper is firing his weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaptyx Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I took the liberty of adding some brightness to the toothless one. I'd say that's the actor's face we can see in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8290 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 This is awsome stuff!!!! A little off toppic with theighs and teeth, but If you go back and look at the garbage shute scene you will see two frames where Luke is missing his shoulder bell. Nice finds guys; I'm lovin' it A totally awesome discovery! Look at the the right thigh ripple on the trooper taking a shot to the shoulder 2 pics up!

oiftanker Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 When i was in the army we confiscated 2 dozen sterling smgs from some iraqi insurgents and went and shot them into the tigris river... they were pretty awesome and we couldn't get them to jam... inaccurate as hell but who needs accuracy when you can spray... they had zero kick also which was impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Great screen caps of the muzzle flash and ejected cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledragon88[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 As a matter of fact, when watching through the shoot-out scenes in ANH I noticed muzzle flash from Chewie's rifle in the detention block also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here's a screen cap of the vinyl/latex-legged trooper from ESB Good catch - it's beginning to be like finding Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiyotei[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 wow great stuff. I can't wait for the first run of vinyl thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledragon88[TK] Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Soon we'll see troopers jumping and dancing around, doing never-before-acrobatics with those new thighs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've always sworn I could see a shell ejecting during ESB when Lando and Leia are escaping Cloud City. They give a close up of Lando shooting at those poor troopers who were just doing there job, and you can see shells ejecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8290 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I completely agree. Is there a place to get thighs like that? Great thread. Also Great find. For accuracy... Yep.. I think Latex. It is cheap to make. The molds are hard to work on, but it seems that only a few have em on anyways. Now today if one were to make em I say Dragonskin tinted white. Man, those would be comfy! Didn't ESB have Vinyl shins as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 this is the greatest thread ever!Awesome finds! Now i want TK thighs made of dragonskin! haha! Anyone who has used dragonskin, does it cast shiney, like would it look like ABS enough to get away with it trooping? im kinda curious now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK1491 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Wow...awesome finds!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnriottt Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Dragon Skin Rubber Now I am thinking... Could brush it on the inside of your existing built Thighs. The look would be seamless. It would be a little tighter though, that would be the only thing I see as a down side. But they would fit like a glove. Not sure if its shiny.
