First of all I know this is a few days late, but in case you missed it else where, and are catching it here, well then check it out. On the side of the packaging for the Hasbro SDCC ( San Diego Comic Con ) exclusive 6" black series stormtrooper from
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a very descriptive bit of text on the side of it. Eric from IGN tweeted out the pic below a few days ago. It reads -
Shock troopers clad in white armor first appeared on the galactic stage during the opening battles of the Clone Wars. Clone Trooper armor became iconic almost immediately; its stark white design stood for hope that peace and stability might be restored to a galaxy of war. But this dream of peace died with
the Republic, and the Empire that rose to take its place imposed order by any means necessary. Soldiers within the
grand army of the Republic were given a new name: Stormtroopers. As these former protectors of galactic peace mercilessly crushed resistance across the galaxy, their white armor came to symbolize oppression and the indomitable power of the Emperor’s will. Yet the tyranny of Imperial rule sparked rebellion, and the Stormtrooper legions were scattered in the aftermath of the Empire’s fall. Now, the rise of the First Order ushers in the next chapter in the Stormtrooper legacy as a new era of ruthless brutality begins.
