So that’s what the helmet’s for
Stormtroopers are kind of a clumsy lot. For supposedly elite soldiers, they sure do miss often with their blasters. Oh yeah, a bunch of Ewoks outsmarted and defeated them, too. It seems like if Darth Vader wants something done right, he has to do it himself.
A snapshot of the Stormtroopers’ blundering ways can be found inA New Hopewhen one of themcracks his headon the frame of a door. It’s an innocuous moment, but one that lives on as proof positive of their frequent ineptitude. And, now it continues to live on throughStar Wars Battlefront.
EA DICE memorialized the 38-year-old head knock with a quick easter egg inBattlefront. Watch this video courtesy ofEurogamer. In the introduction to the Overpower mission, a Stormtrooper in the background is suddenly seeing stars. Get him to the sideline and he can’t come back until an independent neurological consultant clears him to resume Stormtrooper activities.
