Now, veteran writers Ryder Windham and Adam Bray take us all-troopers all-the-time with Stormtroopers: Beyond the Armor. With their skull-like helmets, head-to-toe armor, and simple designations instead of names, there’s always been a mystique around them - who are they underneath? Their aura has only grown through the introduction and individualism of the clone troopers and has come full circle with the character of Finn, the former stormtrooper who defies the First Order. From their first appearance in the opening battle of A New Hope as the faceless elite soldiers of the Empire, stormtroopers have captured the imagination and excitement of fans around the world. When it comes to selecting the most easily recognized characters in Star Wars, the stormtrooper in white armor easily makes that list.
