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.

Stormtrooper Helmet 

Although a few helmets may have been reused, there was a different helmet used in each Star Wars movie (and even different helmets used within the individual movies.) These helmets are usually referred to by the acronym representing the movie's title.

There is the ANH (stunt) helmet, the ESB helmet and the RotJ helmet respectively.

Replica Stormtrooper Armor Parts and Armour 

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.

These Stormtrooper armour parts are from the original maker of the Stormtrooper costume and are made using the original moulds. You can also check out an accurate replica of the Stormtrooper armour they produced in 1976.

note: EXPENSIVE. If you live in the US and are planning on shelling out a doctor's daily pay for your costume, you may want to purchase your Stormtrooper Suit stateside. You will save $500-$800 and you will receive it much sooner. Plus, it is worn by 95% of Troopers anyway.
