VMA131Marine Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 In the movies, did all that body armour ever do any good? Stormtroopers always seemed to go down with one hit no matter where it was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtroopers always seemed to go down with one hit no matter where it was. An excellent question...I have often pondered this myself along with other obvious thoughts such as how well can they see out of all that gear? I always just assumed that each one we saw 'go down' had died, but might be that In some (or many) cases an otherwise fatal wound has been reduced to a severe but treatable injury by the presence of armour. We rarely see the aftermath of battle in StarWars, so it might be that many of these soldiers, are recovered, given medical attention and returned to service. This logic might apply especially to clones each of which are genetically and medically identical- for all I know the empire might have huge reserves of spare clone parts and organs specifically reserved for the repair of injured stormtroopers. If this is the case the armour is well justified. 🤔 Whaddayreckon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 It was a film made using actors and stuntmen... pyrotechnics were used to simulate blast damage, the guys in the suits were fine, and they added in the blaster pulses later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've seen Jimmy Smitts in other things since The mystery deepens We're being rude - nice job on the Stormtrooper, OP... are you sure he's not saying "Sshhhhh!" though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Agreed. Really good job on the storm trooper! Looks like a very 'clean' flawless build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just me. To me it looks like he's giving us the classic "I'm naughty " look. Which quite frankly, makes me uncomfortable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habu12 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 So that went awry... At any rate, I think the rebels were good shots and knew where to hit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
