This is probably a major point where we disagree. While I'm no fan of
Star Wars, I have seen the movies (and I have seen "Troops" :-) and as I
have said before, I think the head of the LEGO Stormtrooper actually
looks like a Stormtrooper. The details around the eyes, "mouth" and
chin gives it the recognizeability it needs, in my opinion.
I also think that the Pit Droid and the Stormtrooper are pretty much
comparable in therms of accuracy. Perhaps the Pit Droid is even
worse, as it's head is just some flexible hoses and some arches, and
it's legs look pretty cheesey. But it's still very recognizeable, I
guess, because a Pit Droid is more unique than a Stormtrooper.

Sure! I find this discussion very interesting! Thanks for
participating. I like hearing your views.
