The first images of the new Stormtroopers from “Star Wars: Episode VII” might have leaked online.
IndieRevolver has published alleged concept images of the new “Chrome” Trooper for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming production. Instead of the white and black Stormtroopers we’ve seen in the past, the “Chrome” Trooper suits appear to be made of a shiny metal.
“Rather than squared tubes along the cheeks, the bottom of this helmet flares out into a fairly sharp-edged arc,” IndieRevoler described the suit. “Where those contours end at the front of the helmet, there does not appear to be an aerator or vent on either side.”
One of the alleged concept images shows a “Chrome” Trooper wearing a dark robe. Sources told Indie Revolver the hoods have since been removed. Click here to check out the images of the “Chrome” Troopers.
Speaking of Stormtroopers, “Star Wars: Episode VII” star Oscar Isaacs recently teased their return during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Isaacs revealed the details while describing how he felt about working with original cast members Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and Carrie Fisher (Leia Skywalker).
“They’re such funny people. Carrie is hilarious and doing such cool work. Harrison is back. He went on hiatus for a little while, but he’s 150 percent back. It’s pretty amazing to see him bounce back. He looks incredible,” Isaac said.
“Everyone’s having a really good time. J.J. sets that tone. There’s a lot of enthusiasm and it’s being done with a lot of heart. There’s nothing cynical about the way we’re doing this.
“Even the in way he’s shooting it - he’s shooting on film and actually building the sets, so you’ve got hundreds of Stormtroopers or whatever, and hundreds of extras and all the ships. You actually see it. It’s all real. Everyone can interact with the world.”
“Star Wars: Episode VII” is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
