	Here's the problem with that statement: Stormtrooper Armor resembles plate armor, and plate armor isn't one size fits all. If it fit Luke the unfortunate stormtrooper Luke stole the armor from had to be of a similar build. If he was too much taller than Luke the armor would be unwearable.

	Yet another plot-hole in desperate need of rectification. Hmph.

	It resembles plate armor in a way, but the flexible body glove underneath is what determines how the armor fits (just ask any member of the 501st to see his/her armor). You can have a signifigant difference in height, but still wear the same armor... the gaps between pieces will just be slightly larger. -----signature----- It’s dangerous business, going out your door.

	Ive always said that! I also wondered what would make him standout as small. I mean he wasnt THAT short, now I think you can use it to explain that it proves clones are still around to a degree, unless you had to be a standard hiegt to qualify. -----signature----- Mrs. Bluth to Annyong: "Here is some money, go see a Star War" Obi-Wan to Palpatine "Sith are our speciality" New member of the Obi-Wan Kenobi fan club!

	Maybe the armor was a little big for Luke, making him seem smaller than he was. Warrior_of_Mandalore Strikes Again! -----signature----- Long Live the Hoojibs

	Maybe the armor was a little big for Luke I think the novelization supports this, although i don't have it with me to check. As for Clones, there were probably still some around, and the average stormtrooper height may have been a little taller than Luke. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

	luke was pretty short, youd think that with vader's height he'd be a little taller -----signature----- Peace is a lie; there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength.

	"luke was pretty short, youd think that with vader's height he'd be a little taller" Anakin didn't seem that tall in the prequels. I think most of that height came from his artificial limbs.

	Have you seen Anakin stand next to Obi-Wan? He was pretty tall. Not as tall as Qui-Gon but tall. -----signature----- "Everytime I close my eyes... In the dark I see her." - Capt.

	FYI height, according to IMDB Mark Hamill is 5' 9" (1.75 m), Harrison Ford and Hayden Christensen both 6' 1" (1.85 m), Ewan McGregor 5' 10½" (1.79 m), Carrie Fisher 5' 1" (1.55 m), Natalie Portman 5' 3" (1.60 m), Alec Guinness 5' 10" (1.78 m), and David Prowse 6' 7" (2.01 m) and Liam Neeson 6' 4" (1.93 m). I guess Luke would be a bit on the short side, but only in comparison with the other guys. Similarly Hayden is short only when compared to Prowse. -----signature----- "Do. Or do not.

	In an elevator, Luke tells Han he can barely see out of his helmet. I assumed this was because he was too short and his eyes were not lining up. -----signature----- Long live rock - I need it every night! The Phantom Menace is a really bad movie

	to add to arwen_sith's list, TOS lists Jango Fett as 1.83 m, which is probably about average for stormtroopers even after the addition of recruits. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

	If you watch the scenes carefully you can see Han's armor fits better than Lukes. Especially when they are taking chewbacca to the detention level. Lukes chest plate his pratically touching his belt. Where as Han has a longer torso, there is a much bigger gap inbetween the chest armor the his belt. Same with the legs and everything else. -----signature----- I find your lack of faith disturbing, fanboy. Tatooine 23 Member of Official Obi-Wan Fan Club
