Carbon Fiber Stormtrooper Suits for Rich Star Wars Fans

George Lucas’ original Imperial Stormtroopers certainly looked terribly intimidating when they first appeared in the Star Wars trilogy, but their plastic suits are no longer impressive for science-fiction addicts today. Thankfully, engineer technician Leonard Carson of San Diego Composites, has come up with a perfect upgrade idea for the fierce troopers.

Made of carbon fiber, the armors are both incredibly lightweight and surprisingly strong. They will not protect you in a real war with lasers and guns, but they will make a huge impression on your other Star Wars fan-friends! The special material of which these costumes are made is famous for both its physical qualities and its steep price. Word has it these suits cost roughly as much as a high-end car.
