stukatrooper Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I know we have seen these sorts of pictures 1000 times over (most of us) and have an extensive portfolio of screen caps on our hard drives.Just thought for the few that have not i would grab some reasonable size pics of stormtrooper details. The trouble i found going through the film and never struck me before doing this,was stormtroopers just seem to run around alot (all the time).They just dont stand still long enough to grab a good shot,or there coming through blaster smoke. Anyway some we have all seen before some are new hope this starts 2010 off well for us screen junkies. Hi-ish rez screen grabs Some examples Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptyx Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks for posting these Peter! I spotted the knee power pack on the troopers is sometimes curved at the bottom and sometimes just has the corners rounded. Hadn't noticed that before.

stukatrooper Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 The other thing that stands out are the stunt HPDE lids and the hero ABS lids.You can see that the painted stunts do not match the non painted armour very clearly.Also guys grab a role of gaffa tape and go mad.I know on trooper among us who embraces the screen look lock stock and barrel (fireblade) scratched, gaffa taped armour,and i must say it looks fantastic.

vicsouders Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Really nice post. For example, I had a question about if a piece had a return edge; now I was able to see it did not. Thanks! I hope these photos are up for years to come for people to use for research. edit: Wow 100th post! I just made Lieutenant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthfoster[501st] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Wow these are nice , love looking through these because you can see stuff like the tape on the shoulder straps you would never notice watching through the movie. I'm telling you I was simply amazed when some of the screen fanatics here were telling me about details of a TK that never stood out to the normal eye. Thank goodness for the experience in prop building that is available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james007bond[TK] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Goodness me, that's the first time i've noticed "Billy-no-Mates", how could they put him into an important shot with semi-finished armour..... I'll have to look at the DVD again... hehe Peter, never knew FBJ used gaffer tape on his armour..... Erm, does he have TK handcuffs too...

mods1965 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 It’s amazing that after 30 years, I have still not seen anything that beats the amazing design of the stormtroopers and that includes the paint drips and gaffer tape! It’s going to take Lucasfilm a long time to clean the film to transfer to HD! Maybe that's why they have not done a HD version yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
