Die, Stormtrooper, Die

Posted to Flickr on 31 May 2009. Part of the Stormtroopers series.

It’s game night on the Death Star, and the Emperor always wants his "special dice."

Photo shot for the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting. This is my crossover photo, from "Black and White (in Colour)" to "Games & Board Games."

Stormtroopers: the Empire’s finest.

Stormtroopers

The stormtrooper is the elite soldier of the Imperial forces in the Star Wars universe. They typically wear white armor and helmets and are armed with blasters. Imperial stormtroopers were first depicted in the film Star Wars (1977). As shown in the Star Wars prequels Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), the stormtroopers were preceeded by the clone troopers, an army of soldiers cloned from the bounty hunter Jango Fett and loyal to Emperor Palpatine. In many ways stormtroopers are an iconic symbol of the Galactic Empire.
