ROGUE ONE: STORMIN' STORMTROOPERS!

Imperial Stormtroopers out in force on the shores of Scarif, in ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY.

501st-ers and STAR WARS fans worldwide who love the classic Imperial Stormtroopers will surely be in Seventh Heaven with next week's release of ROGUE ONE. Just from the trailers alone, I don't think we've ever seen so many assembled in one film and operating in so many environments. Though keeping to the classic and best design from the original 1977 film, John Knoll and the ILM team have additionally made some subtle visual improvements to the masks.
