Here are my thoughts on the reason for no storm troopers. Blasters. stormtroopers are about the only starwars fig that would need a blaster. Tlg has not made blasters for various reasons disscussed alredy on this group. therefore they cant make (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yes but those are not "guns" as such, they are just a few parts put together to represent a gun. a blaster would have to look like a gun. I even read that the blasters were based on a real gun. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

All this mention of blasters for stormtroopers and no mention of poor Han. I don't recall him using any weapon outside of the occasional time he grabbed Luke's light saber. I can't wait to see what they do with him in the Falcon. In the desert skiff (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The Hoth Rebel soldier already has a blaster rifle. They used the old Space camera/gun/whatever piece. I don't see why they couldn't/wouldn't do the same for the Stormtroopers... J (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)
