Off-Duty Stormtrooper Art

The CClone 365 Photo Series Shows Imperial Guards on a Break

— September 11, 2011 — Pop Culture
When they're not blasting at Luke Skywalker or following orders from Darth Vader, the Stormtroopers like to hang out with the kids and just relax, as the CClone 365 series shows.

Kristina Alexanderson is the photographer behind the CClone 365, which depicts Stormtroopers enjoying life outside of being bossed around by the Sith Lord. Sure, they're the bad guys in the movie, but they're all really just hard-working folks who have a family to provide for. Whether it's fishing, a game of hopscotch or enjoying the playground, this is a side of the Imperial guards that you've never seen before. These Kodak-moment pictures may change the way you see them the next time you're watching Star Wars.
