I like the armor. Feels very McQuarrie-esque (like so many of the other things we've seen so far). I LOVE the pistol being attached to his thigh. I'm not crazy about the revamped stormtrooper blaster. It looks a little over-designed and less "real" than the Blasters of the OT. Still can't make up my mind about the helmet. I don't immediately hate it, but it also doesn't illicit any strong positive feelings from me either.
But as Akton mentioned, I'm so happy about the fact they're building real armor, props, sets, etc. that I'm more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when a particular design doesn't immediately feel like a home run. EVERYTHING I've seen so far feels more like Star Wars "should" feel than almost anything since '99.
