Han Solo Brakes For Nobody

Han Solo Brakes For Nobody

Posted to Flickr on 19 July 2009. Part of the Stormtroopers series.

No Photoshop tricks! I tweaked colors and levels in iPhoto, but that’s about it. The Falcon was suspended by a single black wire, and the stormtrooper was hanging on for dear life all by himself without any assistance at all, believe it or not!

Stormtroopers: the Empire’s finest.

Elsewhere

Han Solo has been hot-rodding the Falcon in these places as well:

Setup

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.
