A Stormtrooper is a minifigure first released in 2001, and is based on the Stormtroopers from the Star Wars universe.

Description

Stormtroopers have been featured a wide variety of sets in the Star Wars Theme, and have been redesigned with more detail or fixed details often.

Although the standard Stormtrooper looks almost the same in every set they have been released in, over the years, they have been slightly redesigned more than once. Also, the helmet has been changed three times.

One of those variations appeared in the 7264 Imperial Inspection set, where they had more detailed shin plates. In the set, it featured 4 troopers with previously unused leg detail, having increased Utility Belt detail and knee plates over the usual blank legs.

There are currently three variations of the LEGO Stormtrooper helmets: One with two mouth grills split into halves, the second with single black mouth grill, and the third most recent - a thick, gray mouth grill with small black lines. Their eyes have also grown gradually throughout the years.

In 2009, a special edition silver Stormtrooper was released as a magnet set to commemorate 10 years of LEGO Star Wars.

In the Video Games

Stormtroopers have appeared in three out of the three LEGO Star Wars Video Games, although the new LEGO Star Wars the Clone Wars game, you need to complete a Minikit.

Background

The Imperial Stormtroopers were the nameless, faceless, loyal soldiers of the Galactic Empire. After the Old Republic was announced an Empire, the Clone Troopers were reorganized into Stormtroopers. The Clones were given new armor and soon non-cloned humans were allowed to join the Stormtrooper ranks, after graduating from the Imperial Military Academies across the galaxy. Stormtroopers are the most common unit in the Empire, seen on many planets as the foot soldiers.

Notes

  • In 2009, a world record for the most LEGO stormtroopers assembled in 4 hours was held. It was completed by JETIX/Nitro Magazine. [source?]
