The Stormtrooper Helmet

May the 4th be with you!  In their first ever Star Wars "deep dive," David and Ryan move along into the wonders and mysteries of the imperial stormtrooper helmet.  Joining them is a man who is always at his post: Gino Sabatino of Star Wars Icons, the world's foremost expert on all things stormtrooper.  The guys honor David's favorite holiday, Star Wars Day, as they discuss hero helmets, background helmets, ABS, HDPE, bubble lenses, chin straps, frown colors, teeth numbers, missing ears, brow trims, and screen-matches.  Isn't this a little long for a talk about stormtrooper helmets?
