Why do stormtroopers' knees each have different design? The rest of the armor is symmetrical, but the left and right knee are their own thing. Why?
Why do stormtroopers' knees each have different design? The rest of the armor is symmetrical...
The left knee has a flat surface so they're stable when kneeling down to shoot.
A lot of soldiers wear their kneepads asymmetrically because they need one pad for kneeling but find the other one uncomfortable.
Interesting
So fuck the dudes who prefer to lean on their right? Why don't both knees have such surfaces then? What's with the right one?
Stormtrooper budget was slashed for the death star
flat pad works for kneeling and you use the ribbed pad to stabilize or brace your arm
Perhaps everyone in the picture is right handed. Maybe there's some left handed leg plates out there.
They probably didn’t think of that but I’d imagine the plates are interchangeable.
They started off as clones.
I'm right handed and I lean on my right
Because it's a kids movie and it's likely they were short on parts.
Based autistic guidebooks, those were fun reading when I was a kid.
Wouldn't the ribbed one be more uncomfortable against the elbow?
Bumping this because it deserves better than being archived in favor of some stale Ellie page thread.
What are the floppy rectangles hanging off their belt?
Their knee grows
Armor.
Dude trust me
Ammo packs.
its resting on the leg plates so no, the ribbing would prevent slippage if anything.
They did, shit.
The point is why didnt the clone armor have this feature rather than the imperial, which troops arnt 100% clones.
Left handed people get fucked over just like real life. Its that simple.
Deepest lore
endowed crotch armor dabs on rebel soldiers.
Based Chadtroopers.
they are all clones of right handed man
Why are they all different heights then?
nu wars would never have anything near this much attention to detail.
it's to hide the fact that some of the stormtroopers are midgets on stilts
shut the fuck up dude i have no fucking answer to that big fucking deal so you made me look stupid big fucking woop big deal
they're NOT. FUCKING. CLONES.
So they know which way round to wear their pants
