darren1970[501st] Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Now the debate begins- what did the 8 mean?? Maybe it's a badge of accuracy. ( Only 8 shots fired before he could hit the barn door from twenty paces.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmian Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Now the debate begins- what did the 8 mean?? I think it's just a piece of tape over a curved crack. Or simply a crack that's been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I hadnt seen the 8 before.... Could be one of the cover area were explosives were placed for the getting shoot parts, then covered up.....??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjw Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Great shot of #8's blaster? Is that a folding stock on top of the barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 So, we have another celebrity in ANH.. first it was Mr. NoStripes, now it's #8. Who else do we have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c6dy Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) IMHO, that's a 2, not an 8 If you look at the actual picture, it seems to be a 2 with some areas in the middle hardly visible. Just made a comparison pic of what I mean: ------------ c6dy Edited February 4, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper18938 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 i also heard somewhere in the past that the "8" was a patch from one of the explosive squibs they used... remember, this scene was one of the last ones shot for ANH, so most of the suits are "used and abused" A related question: a few frames later, the trooper has what appears to be 2 large Black "velcro?" pieces sticking out of hit right chest plate....... any thoughts on this?

TxRadio Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I don't want to be that screen accurate. I want to create the stormtrooper that GL pictured, as good as it can be - not the one cobbled together to fit the film schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the bib section of the rubber neck seal which has been shredded to fit the contours of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
