Working my way through the original Star Wars: Special Edition on VHS.. Yes, I said VHS.. As in, on a VCR.. On an "old-school", "fat-back" television.. That's right, no fancy-flat-screen-smart-tv that can control everything in your house, including the coffee maker, for me.. No Sir.. not in my crib.
Anyway, back to my original point.. I'm watching Star Wars.. and I'm finding myself asking a few questions that never occurred to me, before.
1.) How do the Storm Troopers tell each other apart? I mean their uniforms are identical.. they also seem to come in only one size. Anyway, what I figure is that their helmets must have some sort of "Heads Up Display" (HUD) ..like in an aircraft, that displays all sorts of information about the person you are talking to. I would imagine, they would have ALL sorts of useful information readily available.. I mean.. name; age; gender; sexual preference; political affiliations; credit score; favorite Beatles album; religious views; and, favorite ice-cream topping.. would be readily available for all to see.
I bet you can even link your information to a "non-storm-trooper-uniform" photo.. So your friends can see what you look like in "civilian" clothes. I'm also certain that each Storm Trooper helmet is equipped with Wi-Fi, for easy access to training materials and Storm Trooper S.O.P.'s. Non-work-related web surfing is cause for banishment to the "Spice Mines of Kessel.. but there's a really "web-savvy" hacker on the third tier who can hook up you up to ESPN.com and YouPorn in exchange for risqué, burlesque-style photos of people's moms...
