I want to randomly get an email and get Stormtrooper armor. I mean let's be real who wouldn't.
ur mom
xMENYUSx Official xd xd xd xd
I get emails, offering me free stuff all the time, but never for Stormtrooper armor... not yet!
Nick Romick You should probably not give your email away then.
Naw, it's direct from sponsors, not spam... ;)
10:26 "So my boss showed up at my house in full limited edition signed stormtrooper wear and threw a snowball at me, how was your weekend?"
Linus, Luke was pretty short for a Stormtrooper too.
touchtapgo actually, mark hamil was about 4-5 inches taller than a stormtrooper, which is like 5’5-5’6. The reason why they were so short was so Vader could look even more intimidating.
its a star wars quote
lol luke
facepalm
Actually, there's Two Lukes
wait, that's a thermal detonator canister? I always thought it was emergency tiolet paper
hahahahaha.. :'D
Makes sense.
it was orginally a light saber then a thermal detonator then it was a sheild btw the o and II were once jokenly refered to as an emergency donut and twinkies..
lol, could make sense in a pandemic
You can use it for either
When Linus is 90 Years old he's gonna be still trying to get into that suit
or his son will be in it xD
NeoGateNova What if he only get daughters?
KyotoIsaki he already has a son lool
NeoGateNova
or it will end up on ebay.
When he started talking through the trooper helmet, I died laughing lmao.
there must be a lot of storm trooper armour out there somewhere, judging on how many extras there where of storm troopers in the movies
Ahriman lots of the extras were animated though :(
Zone Shot The clones were all animated. Stormtroopers were nearly all real costumes, sometimes matte paintings
There were only 106 sets of Stormtrooper armor made for the entire original trilogy. Don't know and don't care how many were made after that.
@@toddjones1480 thanks for the info 🤓
"Don't worry I missed you guys because I'm a storm trooper" Never has a more true statement been made!
Curious Wars ii
playing FPS games while wearing this. can't shoot any enemy...
If I get the money for one of these I am going to try to play Battlefront as the empire with it on :D
+That OneGuy live stream on twitch while you do it haha
+Anugerah Ardiansyah you can actually see quite well, as long as it's not very short and at point blank range, because it cuts pretty much all visibility for stuff below you. Beyond that it's quite fine.
***** the joke went above your head
+Anugerah Ardiansyah I got the joke, just added a more serious reply to it :) you can indeed see quite well, despite the old "stormtroopers can't hit anything" joke from the movies.
I remember some guys tried to retcon that stormtroopers where actually missing on purpose so they could let han, leia and luke escape, in an attempt to find the rebel base. Since princess leia hint it was "way too easy to escape the death star".
Of course in real life, you whouldn't be able to fight using that helmet :D
Stats
Defense: +2
Accuracy: -999
Charisma: +10
Accuracy:-989.* unless you get the special 501st model then it's Accuracy+80
The helmet looked a little asymmetrical.
i think it's the shoulder straps being different length/tightness
2:29 ,its just the thing to hold the head who make it wobbly
6:46 - 7:33 the chest piece is crooked
Yeah you right,its just asymmetrical
The props and armor they used in the movies was also asymmetrical and this set of armor is screen accurate which is why it's asymmetrical
"The blaster is made in the USA so is of course, completely functional"
Man, you got that for free? So jealous, though I sold a heap of my star wars collectibles last year, the prices have inflated a lot since 09.

Watching this just after Carrie Fisher died. May the force be with her even in death
Force is fiction also she's dead so
Sorry but I'm not worshiping some actor so called princess who died from drug addiction and alchol
alcohol
Omega Zultron She was bipolar. Whilst it wasn't exactly the best idea to do drugs, it helped her through it. Then, later in her life, she recovered from her drug issues and played an essential role in normalising mental illnesses, and was an all round awesome person.
To all you star wars nerds out there..... its a fukcking movie, get over it. Characters die all the time in movies so move the fuck on.
My son and I loved this video!! Thanks so much for putting it together!
More of these kinds of videos would be awesome
Does it make you miss every shot?
NCRranger24 - Gaming and More! Yes it does 10:25
xD I see what you did there.
If it doesn’t, it’s fake.
No just the helmet, it does offer as much protection as paper. just like the real one
this is like one of the few channels where ive seen so much cool shit that its like you deserve subscriptions
Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

I wish they do the snowtrooper ones
Snowtroopers do exist, but if you want a really accurate design, you'll have to find one through the 501st Legion. Sign up at your local Garrison today to find out more!
Thanks, i'll check :)
FRX23 Go here to see what Garrison is in your local area. There's contact information galore if you want to dive into the rabbit hole for a full on costume.

Yes, do more of these. This was great!
This is fantastic, Linus Tech Tips. Thank you for sharing with the world your enjoying of Star Wars and great collectors costumes. This has been a thrill to watch. Take care, all of you at Linus' media group!
Linus, you are not too short for a stormtrooper. You are doing great! You will take good care of your armor.
... PIMP-50! I might have just died.
YES! Do spartan armor next with the original MA5 assault rifle.
Just took delivery of my Original Stormtrooper Armor kit. Wow, what an amazing set of Stormtrooper armor. It was amazingly well packed, and everything fit very well. The manual doesn't look like the spiral bound one shown by Linus, quite a bit thinner version.
Your video & evaluation definitely helped me make my decision to buy from these guys. Only complication was the fact they do not sell or ship to the States for some reason, so I purchased in Canadian dollars and shipped to a buddy up there who then brought it across the border for me. Strange...
And yes Linus, I also wish I was about 4" taller! 😄
Overall, a very good experience with the crew at Shepperton Design Studios.
mine arrived today. You cant see shit . you cant move in it. you cant bend. 10/10 I have cuts on my hands but next time ill have friends help me put it on :P
What was the weight, height, width, and weight of the package?
That moment when you need a bathroom break...
CaseyKaiJones ahahah
That is one short Stormtrooper XD
nice to see linus genuinely happy never seen him this happy
My god youve gotten so much better at this
not gonna lie the helmet looks mishapen or been warped
Callum Uchiha His head, he said he got it big.
it's because they use the original molds. If you watch the original movie, all of the helmets are uniquely mishapen.
Callum Uchiha h
The right eye looks longer than the left. Hm. Maybe this armor isn't the best.
Callum Uchiha so just like episode 4
...just realized how difficult it will be to go the bathroom with that suit. He need to take out everything
Yeah, do more costume vids. Linus would look great in a telly tubbie suit!
Only a stormtrooper can be this precise....
The last take is so funny XD Subscribed !
It's awesome to see Linus do an unboxing of non-tech fun stuff once in a while :)
Got clone armour aswell? Because I think the clones are awesome.
wouldnt look like in the movie because they dont used real armour in the New movies
moto I'm sure there are some models. Not all of them could've been animated.
+Lennart ya, if you've ever seen the behind the scenes, they had some molds.
Hate to break it to u but they were cgi so no real props :/
+Evrnire84 GAMING that was in the remastered, in the original it was props, hate to break it to ya
Imagine this armor painted with airbrush for a little weathering and the backarmor actually having a correct coloring and details on the radio.
And is it it just me or doesn't the pecks on the armor look weird and boob like?
I don’t think I’ve ever willingly watched a 10 minute ad and thoroughly enjoyed it
I dare you to wear that during a Netlinked Daily video
$1000 for the suit and $150 for the gun
*****
Why not build a high end PC in the Stormtrooper bust ?
6:46 This immediately sounds like some Star Wars Parody lol
aren't you a little short for a storm trooper
Griffin Matul nice reference
Griffin Matul Enough people have posted this. You can stop.
I'm Luke StarKiller, and I'm here to rescue you...
Yeah, but my blaster isn't to erase you
Get the carbonite
I guess you could say that Linus is a little short to be a Stormtrooper!
Linus...forgive me for asking, but aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper? :)
he talks about that in the video yes
Love the sound effects
My brother just bought me a set for Christmas, hasn't arrived yet but holy crap I'm nerding out.
How could you not like this video?
Imagine installing an Intel NUC on the back of this, and wire it to a small hologram projector or something on your wrist... "Please Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only help." Or wait, that's the Rebels :) You could have a hologram Emperor in front of you while speaking to him on Skype :)
MASmarksman you're my only hope*
This is the sort of Linus tech help I was looking for.
Hard to believe this was my first Linus tech tips video I ever watched lol
A little short for a stormtrooper lol
So that's why the empire lost, they were still dressing up when the fight started!
This is an excellent promotion by Original Stormtrooper. Linus Tech did a perfect job on demonstrating the kit and looking at the pros & cons as well as the options. Just found out that Original Stormtrooper are now offering an instalment plan. I'm in. Well once I pay off the credit card.
This video left me drooling over my screen!!
Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper, Linus?
Holy Balls! just gave the website a quick glance and man that's some expensive geek hardware.
Getting the original sound effect for a blaster is easy. Just tap something metal on a tentioned steel cable (can normally be found on zip wires in play parks (not the actuall wire, but conected from the top of an end to the ground)) as that is what was used for the films.
Seeing this guy put on storm trooper armour gave me a flashback when I used to mix and match G.I. Joe action figures putting the legs on another's midsection I used to put Han Solo head and legs mixed with a storm trooper chest piece.
Just so you know the stormtroopers are amazing shots.. But they were told to miss to allow luke and leia to escape
Eh it's more likely that they were doing the same thing that real soldiers do, in where they do not like to shoot civilians, that is why in war they try to dehumanise the opposing party because no one want to shoot another man, but if you can stop them from being a man they are more likely to shoot.
They troopers were happy to gun down the uniformed rebels whom all looked the same and were dehumanised, but when they saw a young boy, a young girl, and some guy in a waistcoat, well they saw them as people so missed deliberately.
When questioned about it many soldiers in the real world admit to this. In fact in firing squads most of them have blanks and there is only a couple of real bullets, this si so that when they think about it they can say "I probably didn't have the bullet" this allows them to disolve themselves of the guilt.
Fusiomaxx But aren't the stormtroopers made to do anything to fulfill orders at any cost...
Jordan Stocker Kinda, but as per the clone uprising, after which Palpatine commissioned the creation of a new clone army which wasn't as skilled or as physically capable.
As evidenced by the original clone uprising, indoctrination only goes so far. Generally it is incredibly difficult if not nearly impossible to create a level of indoctrination so deep that it over rides base instinct.
Also by the point of the original trilogy Stormtroopers weren't only clones, they were also human recruits from different planets, the number and rate at which they could create clones was severely disrupted after the clone uprising which was partly caused by a Kaminoans covert rebellion against the empire.
shouldnt green be right and red left. through my knowledge of aviation and boating im pretty sure red is port [left] and green is starboard [right]
Same thing I thought. But red starts with R for right is the only thing I can think of.
I loooved reading the Halo game manuals. They listed every weapon, vehicle, enemy and ally. I wish they still did this, I would actually go back to buying physical copies.
really enjoyed this. wish i had the money to get the set. so coo
Maverick5588 I built a mandalorian (boba fett armor) few years ago was a part of the costume club after a few conventions it gets kind of boring
Maverick5588 coo? Wtf get out u nub

Shouldn't the red be on left (port), and the green on the right (starboard)? It seems a bit... off. It's reversed.
Stormtroopers appear in space vessels, which would take a nod to Navy vessels. Therefore, red=left, green=right.
Since the person putting on the suit will always be facing forward in his/her own eyes, he/she is always at the helm, facing fore. Therefore, red=left, green=right. I dunno, I'm just bored. Love the channel.
The basic color used by the empire is red and Red for the empire means OK means Right, and green (Luke's light saber) is green (Bad for the empire) :)
Accurate... unless you want more accurate armor. Then you can join the FISD and do research. Join the 501st. Seek. Learn. Do not by strangled by fear.
Not to be THAT guy but the original designer was Brian Muir not Aaron Ainsworth. His armor pieces are recasting of the 3rd gen Empire strikes back stunts modified to look like A New Hope heroes. I'm not sure about now but for a while he wasn't allowed to ship to the US due to legal issues with Lucasfilm. Being a member of the 501st I was told to stay clear of this guy, there are much better looking options for a much lower price than this guy is asking for.
What’s another good place to go if you want to be in the 501st Legion?
No, Brian Muir was involved with modelling (most famously the Vader mask) but the person who made the original model for the Stormtrooper helmet was a lady - can't recall her name. Ainsworth just pulled some plastic. There have been some big lawsuits involved and a lot of detail came out as a result.
It's a nation wide cosplay group. They go to a lot of events as stormtroopers. They get asked to do movie premiers, charity functions for kids and some disney stuff
Her name was Liz Moore, Ainsworth would have you believe that 'He alone' developed the suits , from concept to finished 'armour'.. have a look on the web for 'the darkside of SDS', the truth is out there,
The 501st are a costuming group set up by Albin Johnson, they wear costumes from Star Wars to raise money for sick children, George Lucas celebrated the work that they do by naming the onscreen clones that go with Anakin into the jedi temple... (the revenge of the sith)... as the 501st legion 'Vader's Fist'.
www.starwars.com/news/contributor/ajohnson
Thanks for that, it's been a while since I looked at the whole debacle. Remaining mindful that this has already been the subject of court cases, the model has been attributed to Nick Pemberton by the courts, with recognition that Ainsworth made some changes when he was producing them. This was largely influenced by an old photo showing Lucas and the model in terracotta (Pemberton) rather than grey (Moore). However, more recently, people have applied colour correction to the photo (based on other known colour references) and guess what... the model appears to be made with grey clay (Moore)!
That armor looks awesome!
This is probably the nerdiest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
(Don't get me wrong, I love Linus... but wow :)
I can only imagine how much you wore that suit after getting it, running about shouting "Pew pew pew" nice vid you made me laugh
I really want one full set of that!
went to the site to check it out, craaaaaazy prices, even IF they were in dollars they'd still be prohibitively expensive, plus as you mentioned the height boundaries, I am indeed too short to be a stormtrooper T.T
10:28 LAWL luke's face XD
darn, please convert your imperial (lol) units to metric
Famous last words "I sure hope this Plastic deflects Laser Beams"
i might be a little late to this but....is it a one size fits all armor? or is there a possibilty it wont fit?
Lieutenant Fox if you’re around 5’6 to 6’2 it will fit the best
You Look Fabulous
Hey Linus, you're Canadian... Why do you spell armour like an American? You've been spending too much time at their tech shows my friend.
One of my friends is Canadian, and I love all the differences in things like that.
Also, my friend is a girl, so that makes up a large part of it.
I use them both interchangeably. Americanized spellings are better for SEO, so I try to remember to use them since a huge chunk of my audience is American. Hope that clears it up.
LinusTechTips Nah im swiss
LinusTechTips Go for English spelling not American. You should promote English, Brittish English. It is clearly the most likeable accent and Language in comparison! :P
+Helveteshit yes, i set my phones and tablets to uk anb im american
Very cool Linus
Oh the cylinder canister is a thermal detentor not a Pringle's can holder.
LinusCosplayTips
Bought a new laptop, only instructions were
1) insert battery
2) plug in laptop
3) turn on laptop
I liked reading instructions. Now we don't even get a feature list :(
@Unapologetically Patriotic ikr, I ordered the nuclear version, I think I've been scammed
Oh my gosh that is amazing I'm going to get the battle spec though because the original is too much money but I loved your video the armor so realistic so is the blaster Star Wars rocks!
Literally just purchased as soon as I saw it. I spent too much money on computer parts so I opted for the "battle spec" one. Ill let you know how the fit and finish is once it arrives.
"aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper"
You should get slick a different suit and go to all your conventions dressed up or make a small movie
Please do more of these! =)
I just ordered a pre built set for a banger of a price, I can't wait to get it.
I just see the video 2 years after😅 AND I WANT ONE!!
Same
Smash killer 03 same
Same here 👍👍👍👍
Smash killer 03 I seen the video 3 years after it was made
2020 Same.
I had hoped you would not do this video doing a non tech video for an item you where given for free as long as you did a video about it on your channel is a bad president to set. Don't get me wrong it's cool and all, hell i saw star wars in the cinema when I was 6 and it blew my socks off I had never seen any thing like it, but let's be honest the armour is a bribe what's next videos about golf clubs?
The reasons I made this video are these:
1. I really wanted the armor - both because I've fantasized about it, and because the bust and blaster will be great set dressing for our show when we update our set
2. We've done non-tech stuff before so it's not exactly new territory. Just the first time I've done it in a while
3. I believe there is a lot of overlap between people who like computers and people who geek out over Star Wars so (unlike golf clubs) I didn't feel like it was a huge stretch to put this in front of my viewers.
With all of that said the most important thing to me is maintaining trust between myself and my viewers and I hope that while you didn't appreciate the non-tech item, you can at least appreciate that I was up front about where it came from and what I agreed to.
Regards,
Linus
LinusTechTips and i'm the only one who liked your comment. great.
+LinusTechTips I've wondered how the original costumes were fastened to the body. How well do you see out of the helmet? Is it stuffy?
+Deborah Norwood precedent, not president
+Deborah Norwood only a woman can write that...you just can't understand how awesome it is
Looking good linus!
I'm a little confused. does the velcro come with the armor or do we need to buy it. also does that manual tell me how to put it together.
8:30 your helmet is kinda sideways
Give it to me! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
I most certainly would like to get a neck guard! I had to make my own, and it's a week but uncomfortable on troops.
This was wicked cool!
The helmet looks unsymmetrical :/
The originals in the films were slightly asymmetrical. And considering they are made by the original designer I would imagine they are trying to exactly replicate what they looked like in the 70's.
***** yup. first thing I noticed when he put the helmet on
Blackspur
Thank you for clearing that up :)
Umm this is great and all but I just went to their site and they seem to ship EVERYWHERE but the US. I added a full suit of the Shadow Trooper armor, the E11, neck seal, and the E11 holster went to check out and no option to ship to the US. Thank you Linus for getting my hopes up. Edit: After reading through the site this guy is actually copyright infringing which is why they cannot ship to the US. Next time Linus you might want to mention this IN YOUR VIDEO before anything else.
***** Canada is looking more and more like a safe AND fun bet.
Once you get used to being buried in snow in winter, that is. :s But hey! Don't have to worry about super-cooling your PC when your can put it in your freezer of a garage. XD
***** No one said that the US was the most important place in the world its just that its the only place they don't ship to get a grip and grow up. I was mainly stating the fact that since the US is the ONLY place they don't ship to would have been worth a mention.
His voice in the helmet sounds like a voicemail
They do sell the original shoes that were used in the film made by the same shop that made them back in 1976 you can order them from Shepperton Design Studios site you just have to look for them in accessories
Shepperton are liars. They are mot the original creators.
