thats an amazing piece of technology. since this thing is actually detecting signals sent from the brain of the wearer, the technology can be used to completely replace a persons legs with fully robotic articicial ones once enough data is gathered.

besides, Storm troopers wore armor, not exo-suits. i'm impressed that they actually have a working prototype e-frame built. you usually hear about people developing strength enhancing suits, but i never actually seen one before. i'd LOVE to try it on and see what it's like myself.

Um... It was a sarcastic title. Not to be taken literally Its what I thought when I first saw it =/

Anyway yes it is an amazing piece of technology, I'm sure it'll help people who need it.

lol, sorry dude XD it's hard to tell sometimes when it's type XD

Sides Stormtroopers are teh sex (jk) compared to the exoskeleton.

i like the Airborne Troopers myself X3 that and Jango Fetts armor is awsome ^^

Yeah I really liked Jango's ^^

did you ever see the concept art for Boba Fetts armor? now THAT was awsome ^^

Actually, I don't think I have.

take a look. ^^ it is quite cool. it's a tan flight suit and all the armor is white instead. it gives you a good idea as to Lucas' thoughts when he came up with the clones in Ep 2. ^^

cool, I'll look into it. ^^

hehe, they did a figure: http://www.rebelscum.com/TAC15McFett.asp

check out the pics^^ they included both helmets

Wow the concept is a lot better looking (in my opinion). Very neat. ^^

I take it you're more of an SW fan than I am, lol. I've known a little bit about it, more of a ST-NG and ST-V person myself... I used to have a friend who was really really into the starwars world, it really is a fascinating fanbase. ^^

oh i LOVE ST as well^^ huge fan of the first six films as well as TNG and voyager and DS9^^
i love sci-fi in general really^^ i just think that Lucas had better ideas then he knew what to do with XD

Cool *grins* Personally I didn't like DS9 too much but eh, >> lets agree that Enterprise was a total flop? *giggles* (Hope you're not offended on that one *grins again*) But yes, Lucas had many ideas than what he knew what to do with lol. ^^ Thus is the vast world of SW, oh and have you read/seen Dune? it came before SW, and think maybe Lucas was a little inspired from it- nothing wrong with that, but just my honest opinion. ^^

lol, yes! Enterprise was HORRIBLE XD and i only started to like DS9 after it went into reruns on Spike XD

oh yeah, i have the directors cut of Dune in the collectors tin^^ actually, that film came out after Star Wars really^^ though, i'm not sure of the Novel. that was Frank Herberts baby^^ but the film was from 84 or 86 i think. ^^ i liked it alot. though, the made for Sci-Fi channel version sucked. XD

Lol Enterprise was a weak subsitution of Voyager and NG.

The book was published in 1965 (I thought it a little earlier but I forget.) And the movie was made in 84. I meant moreso the book than anything, ^^. In any case, I like both. And yes the remake was teh pits.

lol, yeah, it was terrible XD i actually LIKED the opening song though. ^^


ahhh, ok, i wasn't sure ^^ i actually haven't read the novel quite yet, though i will get around to it sooner or later^^

I've read some of it, its very interesting. Has a lot more info of course.

the directors cut has alot of that put in though. one thing i loved about the 84 film was the scope and scale of thengs. ^^ it was so huge! made me thing it really WAS a film of universal proportions in a way^^

I always thought there was one before the 84 one though, but I can't find my version of it to confirm that.

not as far as i know. best place to look would be the Internet Movie database. IMDB.com i believe. if anyone knows, they would. ;)

The technology for this can lead many things of fantasy to becoming reality. Possible uses include:

Developing that awesome Yellow Exo-Suit used in Aliens (The second Alien movie).

Creating the 6 Million Dollar Man

Making that suit that can take down a bear even MORE powerful!

The Borg!

Super-Suits!

Doc Ock's Mechanical Arms in case the thing that reads brain signals goes nutso!

Making Ninja Warrior a cake walk! (Unless you fall in the water and get electrocuted by the hardware).

And Mecha suits! The Gundam and Patlabor mechas are looking more real every day! :)

But it has NOTHING to do with StormTroopers outside of the general look. If you want to get REALLY nerdy with the StormTroopers, then you join THESE guys!
