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.
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 🤓
When he started talking through the trooper helmet, I died laughing lmao.
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
"Don't worry I missed you guys because I'm a storm trooper" Never has a more true statement been made!
Curious Wars ii
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
Stats
Defense: +2
Accuracy: -999
Charisma: +10
Accuracy:-989.* unless you get the special 501st model then it's Accuracy+80
"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.

That moment when you need a bathroom break...
CaseyKaiJones ahahah
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.
... PIMP-50! I might have just died.
More of these kinds of videos would be awesome
this is like one of the few channels where ive seen so much cool shit that its like you deserve subscriptions
My son and I loved this video!! Thanks so much for putting it together!
That is one short Stormtrooper XD
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!
6:46 This immediately sounds like some Star Wars Parody lol
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
YES! Do spartan armor next with the original MA5 assault rifle.
Only a stormtrooper can be this precise....
My god youve gotten so much better at this
I dare you to wear that during a Netlinked Daily video
nice to see linus genuinely happy never seen him this happy
Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
(2020 edition)
Yo whats up 2020 gang

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.
Omg. Geek overloadddd
$1000 for the suit and $150 for the gun
*****
Why not build a high end PC in the Stormtrooper bust ?
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?
The last take is so funny XD Subscribed !
I guess you could say that Linus is a little short to be a Stormtrooper!
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
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?
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
Yeah, do more costume vids. Linus would look great in a telly tubbie suit!
It's awesome to see Linus do an unboxing of non-tech fun stuff once in a while :)
Love the sound effects
I don’t think I’ve ever willingly watched a 10 minute ad and thoroughly enjoyed it
A little short for a stormtrooper lol
Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper, Linus?
Hard to believe this was my first Linus tech tips video I ever watched lol
Famous last words "I sure hope this Plastic deflects Laser Beams"
How could you not like this video?
So that's why the empire lost, they were still dressing up when the fight started!
This is the sort of Linus tech help I was looking for.
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
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.
Linus...forgive me for asking, but aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper? :)
he talks about that in the video yes
Looking good linus!
My brother just bought me a set for Christmas, hasn't arrived yet but holy crap I'm nerding out.
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
10:28 LAWL luke's face XD
The "pews" at the end killed me XD
Very cool Linus
...just realized how difficult it will be to go the bathroom with that suit. He need to take out everything
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.
His voice in the helmet sounds like a voicemail
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.
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*
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.
You crack me up man! That was awesome! Thanks for the video. I got some great tips. (: - )
This video left me drooling over my screen!!
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

"aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper"
This was wicked cool!
Does anyone know if the microphone is built into the helmet? It's so cool when he speaks with the helmet on.
8:30 your helmet is kinda sideways
Holy Balls! just gave the website a quick glance and man that's some expensive geek hardware.
Hey Linus!! Very cool video!!
Please do more of these! =)
darn, please convert your imperial (lol) units to metric
You should walk into a mall or a store with that on, and act like nothing is going on.
That armor looks awesome!
9;39 hey that outfit looks great in the snow!
LinusCosplayTips
You Look Fabulous
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.
I really want one full set of that!
I want to see the video of it arriving...
Feb 21 WAN show
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 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.
Oh the cylinder canister is a thermal detentor not a Pringle's can holder.
You should get slick a different suit and go to all your conventions dressed up or make a small movie
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)!
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.
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.
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
great video !!!!
Nice find!!
How did I miss this upload…
Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?
Give it to me! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
Awesome! Great video!
Quality, I love it 😀
