The New Face Of The Episode VII Stormtroopers?
August 16, 2014 by brennon
Keeping with the Star Wars news the blog site Indie Revolver managed to get a hold of some neat images that not only claim to show off the new look of the Stormtroopers in Episode VII but also some of the concept designs for Han Solo...
First up we have said Stormtrooper helmet that looks a lot more sleek than it's predecessor and also has a bit more of the Clone War about it as well. I quite like the look and it doesn't appear half as bulky as the armour did in the original trilogy.
The other news came in the form of Han Solo and two prospective costume ideas for him. The first is decidedly more militaristic and looks like its built for cold weather. Hoth maybe? The second is more in keeping with his smuggling roots and fits a more Mal-like space cowboy style!
Some interesting pieces of information!
The stormtrooper helmet certainly pays homage to the original design but it just struck me that it looks a lot like the head off a LEGO figure 🙁
Maybe just a tad too sleek.
Hopes for awesomeness of Star Wars franchise…undecided. Not sure if I like the new Stormtroopers helmet or not. I don’t love it…I don’t hate it. Han…is Han. As long as HF stays on planet Earth IRL, it’s all good! 🙂
Those helmets only seem to screw their aim up, maybe this one is an improvement? :p
Funny, @hatamoto . Like the old joke (forgive me if you’ve heard this one) about the time a Star Wars stormtrooper and the Star Trek red shirt got into a shoot out . . . the stormtrooper missed all his shots . . . but the red shirt still died. 🙁
Helmet is good. Kinda of what to expect I think. Technology advanced, designs advanced (in Star War Time as in Real Time) and so I all can look a bit more sleek, as long as they still get the gritty Star Wars Look overall.
Love the first Han artwork. Looks awesome. The second not so much. Despite being also a Firefly lover, the Browncoat doesn’t work for Han.
Overall very exciting, GIMME MORE!
I really dont like it but then also didnt like the early Clone War helmets
Very Eldar in appearance – not a bad thing!
Well it looks nice but I just checked the price. 100 Bucks for a board game. I beg you pardon! There are 3-4 tiles and a few minis inside of it. Is it 50 Bucks already for the License?
In the last year the prices for board games really went through the roof.
The Stormtrooper helmets are from the New Star Wars Rebels animated series. There is a trailer on the Star Wars website that shows this helmet and the one for the snowtroopers.
