The Secret Lives of Stormtroopers
Are Imperial Stormtroopers really the disposable, brain-dead killers that the media makes them out to be? Contrary to popular belief, very few are. For most, Stormtrooping is just a way to pay the rent and keep food on the table. Because of its potential negative impact on the Empire’s ruthless image, this information has always been a tightly guarded secret.
Until now.
Thanks to some recently obtained photos, we now have indisputable proof that when they’re not out crushing the Rebellion, most Imperial Stormtroopers live their lives just like you and I.

Shouldn’t everyone have a stormtrooper costume? I think so.
I really wanted to somehow mention “felt” in the Middleboro pic, but then I remembered that felt comes from sheep and I didn’t want to get a punch from Pam.

I think I read some “Imperial Stormtroopers fight the Yakuza” fanfiction once.

Heh. A good reason why Stormtroopers should never be retired from their duties.
