OK here is a question what color do you think the highlights on the
Stormtroopers will be?  And what color do you think they should be?  This is
one of the common color missconceptions within Star Wars and I wonder if LEGO
will get it right.

  At that scale, does it really matter if the color is a shade darker or
lighter than it "should" be?  Luke's eyes aren't dull LEGO brown, either, but
it was close enough for minifigs.  Are there any shots in Star Wars in which
the highlights are unambiguously midnight blue (or whatever) and not black?
If not, and considering that minifigs are an attempt at a representation
rather than a reproduction of the real thing, I'd say black is overwhelmingly
adequate.

(...) Close enough. Stormtrooper highlights are indead a shade of dark Blue. That said I bet we get black with the LEGO Stormtrooper seeing they couldn't even get the color of the Falcon right. (...) Well looking at the low quality picture we have (...) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
