Eh. A lot of what I know of film is from studying it out of college. The DVD era was a great thing with the features. I LOVE film history. Wildly. I've many a book about film. I love movies but the history of the art is so goddamn fascinating.

Those sets look fantastic! And yes, being able to stand there would probably bring me to tears, too.

What's wrong with shades on a Stormtrooper?

Why not? There is a rumor going around that WWE's Seamus will be playing Darth Vader.

Because somebody simply tweeked an exisiting design rather than putting some thought into "What would the evolution of this design be 30 years after the defeat of the Empire?"

Defeated is different than destroyed.

Introducing the new Apple iTrooper: Sleeker profile, weighs 10% less, comes in silver, gold champagne, or space gray, and costs the same as last years model without increasing the storage.

Or maybe that is their vision of how the design would evolve over 30 years. We don't know what this new stormtrooper represents yet.

Also, even the original design looked a lot like sunglasses from certain angles, due to the black stripe just above the eyes.

Given the other things we've seen, and the obvious affection and respect that is being shown to the original film, I am willing to give them a chance to prove this new design to me before I overreact in a knee-jerk way.

Stormtroopers started out as Old Republic soldiers. Why shouldn't the New Republic keep them? Especially if they're still clones and they can use them instead of forcing ordinary people to serve in dangerous combat situations?

With the Empire vanquished who's paying for R&D for new helmets?

To be fair, only two figureheads (three if you count Tarkin) of the Empire were slain. I doubt the Emperor and Vader were all that invested in the day-to-day running of the Empire. Whatever bean counters were in the admin building while the financial nightmare called the Death Star blew up (again) are likely the ones calling the shots now.
