Imperial Stormtrooper
In my opinion the coolest character design ever created for a feature film. Everything about the classic Imperial trooper is right, from the skull-like helmet to the steady plate on the right kneepad. An absolutely stunning concept, elegantly realised.
It's a real pity the beggars can't shoot straight*.
I think that this was my very first SW drawing, made before I actually saw the film, and based on a photograph in an American press kit that a friend brought back from a trip to the States. I distinclty remember looking at the photographs of the interior of the Blockade Runner and the Jawa sandcrawler set and thinking "well, this looks different..."

*I blame Order 66. It broke the clone troopers. What a mistake.....
You're absolutely right. The stormtrooper is one of the most iconic characters ever put on screen.
And about your image. Three words. "Classic Star Wars".

The Death Star's plans are NOT in the main computer.
Very nicely done. I've got a long way before I can consider even doing something as elegantly simple as this.
