Do you want to be paid to be a Stromtrooper? Disneyland will have a Casting Call Friday, May 24th

[Darkbeer1]

First off, you have to be between 5'10" and 6'0" and slender to athletic build.

The casting Call will be in Downey at the Onstage Dance Center at 10 AM.

Of course, nights, weekends and Holidays will be a requirement on your schedule.

Yes, you will become a CM and get all the wonderful benefits, plus get to wear a neat uniform while you work.

I read that the studios used the 501st for extras while filming The Mandalorian. It would seem easy enough to tap them. I'm sure there is a boatload of them in the L.A. area.

Does a stormtrooper get the same pay as a face character since they talk or is it the same as the girl playing Mickey Mouse?

I don't think Disney is looking for fat stormtroopers.

I don't think Disney is looking for fat stormtroopers.

I can see the casting agent now saying ... “move along.”

Stormie Got Back!

 

[Phroobar]

Stormies wobble but won't fall down.

 

[Rich T]

...slender to athletic build.

Ah, poop. (Cancels flight).

Ah, yes. The McRibtrooper.

Hmm, 5' 10" seems a little short.

 

[Darkbeer1]

The wonderful uniform does add a couple of inches...

 

[Figments Friend]

Hmm, 5' 10" seems a little short.

I suspect the 5' 10" to 6' 0" height range probably opens them up to the largest pool of available talent while keeping the Stormtrooper image uniform and the costume stock more manageable, and less costly.

And what Darkbeer said.

When I went on Tuesday to SWL, the Stormtroopers were noticeably short. They were the same height as the guests around them and weren't that intimidating.

That’s because they’re just First Order troopers

 

[Phroobar]

Exactly. The First Order kidnapped kids to be First Order troopers. The Empire just used clones.

Were you really expecting them to be intimidating? For a military organization their soldiers aren't really that intimidating, I mean really have you ever seen a Stormtrooper actually hit anything when firing?

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

When I was little I thought the snow troopers looked cooler, but as I got older I realized they looked like the KKK...

They shot a lot of rebels and civilians in Rogue One. When they boarded the Tantive IV they shot lots of Fleet Troopers.
