How can any decent person be a SW stormtrooper fan?

since we don't really know him as a character to begin with.

...and that's the problem at the core of the PT anyhow. Why bother with things like character information when you have Sam Jackson and a cool purple lightsaber? Kind of like how all we know about Maul was that he must have been bad cause his saber was red. :rolleyes:

If you want to call the Empire Nazis, then the Jedi were Neville Chamberlain.

Really, I think Darth Maul was just an attempt to make lightning strike twice and see if the could manufacture the kind of popularity that developed naturally with Boba Fett. "Look, a cool looking guy who does practically nothing."

I was an innocent before the dark times, before the Darth Vader t-shirt.

Before that, all I cared about was podracing my Big Wheel through the deserts of Southern California and tinkering with fantastic Lego machines. But after I donned that 100% cotton skin of evil everything changed. I cut off my cousin's hand and watched him fall out of my treehouse after he refuse to join my club. I enslaved the Wookiee in the picture. I went into my sister's forest-painted room and killed all of her teddy bears. I started choking my friends for even the most insignificant of failures, like bringing me Hydrox cookies when I wanted Oreos. I over-dramatically screamed "Noooooooooooooooo!!!" in a Mufasa voice whenever I didn't get my way.

I was eventually able to break the cycle by throwing my teacher into a seemingly bottomless dumpster after he accidentally electrocuted some kid in lab class, but it doesn't silence the screams in my head from all those I killed while under the sway of that terrible t-shirt.

That picture screams "NAZI!"
 
As deep as I am into Star Wars I'm probably one of the greatest war criminals in all of history to a guy like Ian. Even when I was a small child the classic Kenner Stormtrooper was my favorite of the original action figures and the one I had the most copies of.
 
Hell, I had a poster of Bela Lugosi as Dracula up on my bedroom wall for most of my childhood. Clearly, I am beyond redemption.

Heck, I dressed up as Dr. Zaius for Halloween once, which must mean I support the forced lobotomization and gelding of talking humans. As the Sacred Scrolls decree!

And let's not even get started on time I played a safe-sex cephalopod at Norwescon ages ago . . . . .

I always thought the clickety-clack of the stormtrooper armor was one of the coolest sounds in a movie. I'm so going on trial for war crimes, aren't I? :(
 
How bad can a Stormtrooper possibly be?

Some of them can't even see straight.
