I hardly think so. The alternative would be to have new molds for the
specific parts like the Stormtrooper helmet or hands or feet or... Do
we want that? (I don't.)
Another alternative would be to have large stickers or printed parts
to make the figure look more like a Stormtrooper. I guess most of you
would dislike that even more.
I think this way of building is really interesting. It is quite
different from "traditional" LEGO building, in which you use blocky or
primitive shapes to approximate whatever you want to model.
The same building technique is used by Ashley Glennon who made a
"cybird" from the parts in the DDK:

If anybody constructs a more realistic looking Stormtrooper figure (or
anything else!) using the same kind of construcion technique, I would
be very interested in seeing the result!
