Awesome Stormtroopers

This hilarious Star Wars fan film is basically an Imperial unboxing video. After the Clone Wars, a Stormtrooper takes a look at a brand new blaster designed to improve their hit rate. The E-11 has upgraded cooling, a rapid-fire mode, a targeting system, and a built-in voice assistant. Go behind the scenes on Behance.

If there’s one thing we know about Imperial Stormtroopers in Star Wars, it’s that they’re not very good at their jobs. Perhaps they’d be better at holding up your books instead of defending the Empire. This pair of resin bookends features a duo of white-clad soldiers doing their best to keep your books from falling over.

Kevin Custer’s minimal, but well-executed Star Wars short tells the tale of a stormtrooper who finds himself abandoned and injured on Endor after the destruction of the Death Star II. Naturally, he comes face-to-face with an Ewok along the way.

Stormtroopers have been with us since the first moments of A New Hope back in 1977. With the original saga coming to a close in The Rise of Skywalker, director J.J. Abrams and other members of the Star Wars production team provide a brief history of these blindly loyal soldiers, and their various permutations over the years.
