Even the Stormtroopers don't carry guns in Britain?


Why would they need to?

They don't have Ewoks in the UK.

Meant to be a question mark at the end of that last, but got distracted by a conversation I was having on this side. I was trying to imply that blasters are a great way of handling Ewok infestations (if handled properly, that is).  ;)

No need to arm the Stormtroopers as they have plenty of Armed Police.  :-X

Something entertaining for you to watch if you were ever wondering about what it was that R2D2 was actually saying.  Personally, I was hoping for more sass and sarcasm but still funny: https://youtu.be/_0KMUZSVAqw

The guy probably could add them as well; last time I checked his blog he was busy with a flying transport for AT-ATs which could also "walk" through shields.

There were next-gen AT-ATs in the background of the "rally" scenes on Starkiller Base in TFA - they had a similar aesthetic to that beast.

I was just looking at the Revell General Grievous' Starfighter:



And especially the tail with a distinctive 'rudder':



And thought that this thing just screams to be built as a racing boat!  Remove the guns and anything else superfluous and give it a high gloss (say, bright red) paint scheme and appropriate decals...

It could also make an interesting cross with a 1963-1967 Corvette.
