What is a Stormtrooper?

for all you non-Star Wars fanatics

Stormtroopers were the elite shock troops of the Galactic Empire, loyal and answerable directly to Emperor Palpatine. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters, stormtroopers served as reminders of the Emperor's power, extensions of his will, and a method of keeping the Empire's thousands of star systems in line through fear.

Formed into Stormtrooper Corps, stormtroopers operated alongside Army, Navy, and Starfighter Corps units independently, where some placed on Navy ships were given the name "marines."

Interesting: It is believed that Stormtroopers were likely based on Third Reich stormtroopers, who served in the Nazi army in World War II.

In 1976, Andrew Ainsworth and Shepperton Design Studios created the amour and the original helmets, including the ANH Stunt helmet used for the background troopers, and the Hero Trooper Helmet used for the leading actors in the film and many close-up shots, for the greatest sci-fi fantasy film of all time.
