      (...) 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)

      (...) Let me see if I can clear this up a little, I think what Jon is saying is that it would be nice to see TLC make an actual storm Trooper Baster, rather than rigging up some megaphone or whatever. Scott S. (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)
     
          Re: Reason for no stormtroopers —Jonathan Little
       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)

       (...) Cool! That worksd pretty well, as does a 1x1 cone. For anyone who didn;t understand this, take a drill from one of those tool sprues, and stick the drilling end into the top of a 1x1 round brick or cone. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...)
