Florida_Phil Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 just wondering if we could see any blasters in holsters at the movies? any screenshots which shows differences between ANH ESB and ROTJ? Well... this is sandtrooper country and all.... and we only made it into ANH, cause if we had been in the others, Luke would have lost. That said, unless there is something in the extended remastered and digitially screwed with release that I haven't seen (like those 'new' sandies with drop boxes in the desert), TDs don't wear holsters in the movie.

dirtydave Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I remember seeing a picture of luke in stormtrooper amor with his blaster in his holster.i believe it was in the control room on the death star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motman241 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Correct - the ESB and ROTJ *STORM*troopers have holsters on their right sides - and holster the E-11 backwards - with the grip pointing towards the front. In ANH all holsters were on the right side - because of the magazine wells on the Sterlings. The *SAND*troopers did not have holsters at all. Now, saying that, I will sometimes carry my E-11, and will have my holster on my left side (per ANH). Usually this is if I know I will be handing out flyers, shaking a lot of hands, etc, where both hands are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-VADER312 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 yes...it's great to put the ol' holster on in a situation where the BFG and Prod have to be left at the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'dib Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Keep in mind that the full-body shot above is NOT the standard E-11 sterling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah, that has the promo pistol in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'dib Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Oh, and that isn't a holster variation. The straps are just pushed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodle3 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 You may well be right, they just appeared different to me being a noob Here's another comaprison of what decieved me, but at the end of the day I want to ditch the holster & go high fidelity SANDY anyway http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u127/be...001/holster.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u127/be...tvariations.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD5422 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The guys marching in 2 files on the Deathstar in ANH have their weapons holstered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimelius Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 It does pay to have a holstered E-11 as a troop/event option depending on: a. event & establishment organiser's attitude towards firearms et al (hospitals, wedding receptions etc) b. reaction by children, parents attendees (if they feel threatened, its not good for business) c. uniformity amongst the troopers d. troop tasks -as previously mentioned- handouts, greetings etc To the untrained eye, we're still sand/stormtroopers - even if we feel a lil underdressed without a BFG I guess you can consider it a matter of equiping correctly for the mission's objectives, even if its not canon on the day.

MHenry Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Seems like were abit stuck between being faithful to the "no holster" images on ANH versus sorta common sense approach. Based on what we see 10-15 sandies doing in Mos Eisly in ANH. For what it is worth, there was a small garrison of Imperials on the planet when the droids and Darth Vader showd up...then a whole lot of imperials came down for the droid hunt. I've been in regular Army units (and Ranger) where slings were not used on M16s...as they were always to be "at the ready" I think the holster use would have to be as appropriate...common sense use as some have sorta suggested. The standard to get into MEPD being the same (BFG). My humble 2 cents worth. Mark H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
