After last night's
World Premiere in
Hollywood, the excitement is at fever pitch for the box office release of
Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I have my tickets for Friday (and Sunday), but seeing these cool
'Captain Phasma' and
First Order Stormtrooper costumes on display at
ArcLight Hollywood today makes me want to see the movie now.
Original Stormtrooper costumes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens
I've previously seen these costumes on display at this year's
Disney D23 Expo out of their reflective display cases, but they were on raised platforms, so seeing them this close is a real treat and under this natural lighting you can also see the detail of the armour more.

Michael Kaplan was charged with revamping the iconic look of
Star Wars Stormtroopers and who'd have thought giving
Gwendoline Christie's Captain Phasma armour a reflective chrome sheen and cape would make it the classic design look so exciting and menacing.

In addition to seeing this costume at ground level and in different lighting, this exhibit also sports
Phasma's blaster, which I'm sure fans will love seeing.

Meanwhile, there were probably hundreds of
First Order Stormtrooper costumes manufactured for the new movie, but that doesn't make it any less cool to see up close and in person (and putting behind a display case makes it even more tantalising don't you think).
If you like these original film costumes, be sure to also check out
Rey and Finn's hero costumes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens on display at
D23 too.
Not long now. May the
Force be with us all and please, no spoilers.
