Girls With Star Wars Universe Imperial Stormtroopers

As Shepperton Design Studios had already been used to vacuum form the helmets, the fibreglass moulds for the armour were then sent to them for vacuum forming the suits.
By the end of production, two different helmets were produced; one for the common stunt trooper and a second design for closeups. Fifty stunt helmets were produced in white-painted HDPE and six hero helmets were produced in white ABS plastic. Besides the material used, the two designs can be differentiated by differences in the eyes, the ears, and the mouth area.
The armor has also been the subject of light humor for years regarding its functionality. This is due to it making its wearer easy to see, restricting his movement and range of vision, and seeming to offer no real protection from blaster fire.
The copyright status of the armour has undergone legal challenges. In the U.S. it has been ruled to be under copyright; within the UK it is considered industrial design, which is only protected for 15 years and thus the armour is now in in the public domain.
