Wolvereen Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 OK, check this out... WTF!? This is a new toy release by Hasbro. It is a fan choice for a "Storm Trooper Concept", so I am guessing its from Episode 3 (or at the very least before Episode 4)? SO... Why is a clonetrooper holding a lightsaber? Are they Force endowed? Here's more toys btw: http://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/20...ws20030716.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwanders Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 It's a "Fan Choice Figure"... the fans picked it...plus it's a "concept lightsaber"... nothing like him will ever be seen in the movies. It's just the result of some fanboys gettin' their panties in a twist over how cool it would be for stormtroopers to have lightsabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMan Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Or maybe the Clonetrooper picked it up from the floor after beating the crap out of a Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 1) So far, all other "fan choice" figures have been in the the movies or "extended universe". He definately has not been in the later as of yet at least. 2) It's not Luke because 1) its a "Concept Storm Trooper" and thus before his time and 2) Luke didn't have his lightsaber from Ben on him in Star Wars (to my knowledge). 3) Jedi's are nto the only ones w/ lightsabers. Bunch of "bounty Hunters" over the years have had them from "kills". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyori Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Ok folks, this figure is a "Concept Stormtrooper" as based on Ralph McQuarrie's paintings of the original stormtroopers for A New Hope. Then they were tweaked into the stormtroopers we all know and love. Fans voted on a figure of the concept, and got it. This has nothing to do with Episode III or any other episodes.

FudgeMonkey Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Only Jedi's have lightsabers.End of story. Nah Storm Trooper can't have lightsaber weapon. Only Jedis have them. why??? true they may not be as good with them because a Jedi has better agility dexterity etc, but at the end of the day they are just laser swords.

shihchiun Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Actually, they could have them, I remember seeing it somewhere... On the Knights of the Old Republic video, the stormtroopers/clone troopers or whatever have sword things... that 'lightsaber' they have might be just a better version or something.

I am SO not a fan boy, but I read the Star Wars Comics and this isn't true. Only Jedi can MAKE lightsabers, however ANYONE can use it (although not necessarily with the deftness of a Jedi). There have been several Bounty Hunters that wear and use the lightsabers of killed Jedi as trophys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth3l Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 In the original SW draft the Storm Troopers had lightsabers. I think I remeber seeing it on some of the special features on one of the EP I or EP II DVDs in an interview with Lucas. [EDIT] but ahhh . . . what a bad ass lightsaber here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
