Star Wars – Stormtrooper (Ralph McQuarrie) Statue

Ralph McQuarrie ’s conceptual drawings and paintings were instrumental in bringing George Lucas ’ epic space saga to the big screen, envisioning the vast worlds of fantastic heroes, villains, vehicles and aliens that would come to be known as Star Wars!

Expertly crafted in 1:5th scale, the soldier of the Empire is depicted patrolling a corridor of the Death Star. As seen in McQuarrie ’s early incarnations, the Stormtrooper comes with multiple display options – carrying a shield in one hand while wielding a lightsaber or blaster in the other – and is fitted with distinctive helmets and armor that more closely resembled fighter pilot gear than the final costumes seen on screen. Reviewing a broad spectrum of McQuarrie ’s imaginative designs for the Imperial Stormtroopers, Sideshow ’s artists have translated his iconic artwork in a brilliant homage to a Star Wars that is both familiar, yet never was.
