A one-minute video overview about the Star Wars Imperial Stormtrooper armor, its features, abilities and characteristics as depicted in the Star Wars movies.

Built from a white plastoid composite worn over a vacuum-sealed body glove, Imperial Stormtrooper armor was issued by the Imperial army, and was heavily standardized among infantry, with rank signified by a color coded pauldron worn over the right shoulder. Though the armor was vulnerable to direct hits from plasma blasts, it offered the wearer versatile protection from harsh environments and blast shrapnel.

The reinforced combat helmet featured an integrated comlink, a filtration system that extracted breathable atmosphere from polluted environments, and a visual processor that aided visibility through glare and smoke, as well as including a built-in heads-up display that provided targeting diagnostics. The standard utility belts were equipped with a variety of features including a compact toolkit, power packs, rations, as well as a pair of macro binoculars and a grappling hook.

Stormtroopers were expected to remain in uniform at all times, as it was considered essential for representing the Empire in professional manner. By wearing one's armor, one represented the Empire, not the individual.

- Star Wars Episode IV
- Star Wars Episode V
- Star Wars Episode VI
