I don't understand this. You said that you liked the minifig
Stormtrooper, which is basically a new mold and some new printed parts
(I suppose). And you would also like a the larger Technic
Stormtrooper to have new molds to make it look more like a real
Stormtrooper. But if every new set has new molds then it would hardly
be LEGO anymore, would it? You couldn't use the parts from a
Stormtrooper set to build anything except a Stormtrooper if the
majority of the parts where molded to look like various parts of the
Stormtrooper outfit.
I'd say that if you want a realistic looking Stormtrooper toy figure,
you should get a non-LEGO action figure. I wouldn't like an
evolvement of LEGO sets in which the bricks from a set can't be used
to build anything except what's on the box image.
But I suppose this is a matter of taste...
