    I am really wanting to get some stormtrooper armor but I think I may be a litle big for it.
    I'm 6'1 250lbs. with a 38 inch waist. Could I fit into a set of armor.

    Yeah, you can fit. Bigger guys that you get into it. You'll probably have to make some shims out of vinyl or other plastic.

    Well I know a guy, who is really skinny and the armor just hangs off of him. You're lucky that you won't clatter when you walk.

    Now you know why troopers were a clone army :)

    That's really big for a stormtrooper. I'm sure you'll fit in but it just won't look right.

    Won't fit in with the other stormtroopers? Have you seen most of the stormtroopers? They are not anywhere near a predictable size. Some garrisons have mostly really tall people, some mostly really short, and some are all mixed. I just went to an event, and I'm 5'7", and I and the other troopers except for one happened to all be within an inch of each other. I am not nearly as tall as the movie troopers, but in my garrison, I happen to fit in fine.

    Azeem is 6'3" and built, and when he's dressed as a sandtrooper, he looks really imposing.
