A
long time ago in a galaxy far far away, some of the greatest and most
unique characters in the history of motion pictures were created by
George Lucas for Star
Wars.
Their names are part of Americana, engrained in zeitgeist forever.
Luke, Vader, Han, Leia, Yoda, Boba Fett… the list goes on and on.
We met aliens from across the universe, droids of all shapes and
sizes, and a giant lovable walking furball named Chewbacca.
From May
1977 all the way till December 2015, there was one group of Star
Wars characters
that remained an interchangeable array of white body armor, bulky
helmets, and blasters guaranteed to miss every time.
They were the
Stormtroopers. Now as you prepare for Star
Wars: The Last Jedi this
Winter, tide over the Star
Wars superfan
in your family with the ultimate behind the scenes guide to Star
Warsforgotten
masses with Star
Wars Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor,
published by Harper Design.
The
beautiful hardcover book is the perfect coffee table talking piece
for movie lovers, filled with 170-plus pages of stories,
bright-colored photos, and behind-the-scenes peeks at the films,
storyboards, toys, cartoons, comics, and more.
This was a labor of
love for its authors. Ryder
Windham and Adam
Bray both
spent their careers writing books about Lucas’s world. The
introduction is given by the very first Stormtrooper to remove his
helmet (not counting Luke in the original), FN 2187 aka Finn, John
Boyega.
The
Stormtroopers are wonderful characters in part because of the mystery
behind them. Sure the prequels and other canon books and cartoons
explored them more deeply, but nothing can prepare you for how in
depth Beyond
the Armor will
take you, trailing the history of Vader’s army from how the armor
is made to their weaponry, to the evolution of storm trooper tech and
look all the way to present day.
The amazing collector’s book also
comes with a enclosed memorabilia, including reproductions of the
original Star Wars toy packages, cereal masks, early concept
drawings, and more.
