I do not seem to have the physical requirements for our Empire’s Stormtroopers in my databanks. However, I feel it quite safe to say that these particular figures are rather on the small side. Also, I find it strange that the two Clone Troopers are, well, not identical in size.
Still, I am strangely attracted to these figures, and believe they will find a place on my console. I would imagine that they do not complain so much about dish alignments, after all.
I must say, there are a great number of toys inspired by sights familiar to Master Thirteen and myself, brought to this planet by the Star Wars movies. Most are of commercial mass-manufacture, of course. Occasionally, though, one does find some adorable custom made items.
Here are a few examples. I am slightly saddened that the Stormtrooper isn’t as adorable as Boba Fett or Lord Vader. Of course, I’m still slightly confused by the idea of Lord Vader as cute, rather than inspiringly powerful. But to each his own, I suppose.

Humans here seem to like modifying themselves, in many seemingly strange ways. It makes the aforementioned diodes just…well, ache. I’m quite glad that I’m a droid, and therefore can be upgraded without resorting to extreme measures.
Master Thirteen has spoken on the issue of tattoos before. However, one more has brought itself to my attention. Personally, I prefer my tasteful Imperial Insignia.
Good thing we have this trooper to protect us from the unsavory (albeit cute) characters in this toy series from Hasbro. I’m not sure how they’re manufactured, but they are apparently “Made with 100% Recycled Awesome.” This planet never ceases to amaze me.
I do wish, however, that it was not so obsessed with a certain protocol droid. I think it would be a better idea to let people see our variety of models and functions. Perhaps in the future.

Spare memory is never a bad thing, and what droid girl wouldn’t want to have one of these adorable little USB drives near her ports? They even have little hoodies to keep them warm! Not that I’d allow my little stormtrooper to catch a chill.
While it’s the cold season for the northern hemisphere of this planet, this quilt would also be handy for the freezing nights we get on Tatooine, as well. Still, it would be even better if it were more Imperial, but a droid can’t be picky, I suppose. Lord Vader, at least, makes an appearance.
Utterly absurd, just like the Rebel propaganda that is the movie it’s condensing, but still adorable.
As I can personally attest, sometimes the newest things aren’t the best, or the only noteworthy items in existence. Today’s example is the touching, and adorable comic, i <3 darth. While it’s been out of production for some time (like certain droid models), it’s still worth a look.
While I am not an Imperial citizen, being a droid, I do know that the primary function of our troopers is to keep the popular safe from criminals and terrorists. These particular troopers won’t do much to keep the peace, but they are too cute to not take notice of. I must pick up some card stock on my next trip to Tosche Station for supplies.
A short note, as I sense I need to have my lubricant levels checked. But I’m much taken with this Imperial Cog Baby Blanket to go with the outfits for our little citizens I mentioned earlier. It’s important to imprint them from a young age, after all.
