How to Get the Stormtrooper “Commander”
If you wanted to get your grubby Cheetos stained hands on a racing stripe Strormtrooper (in some circles known as the Stormtrooper Commander), the details have finally emerged on where you can find him. When Star Wars: The Force Unleashed launches on midnight of September 15th, Gamestop will be selling him to those at the store. A priority will be given to those that have pre-ordered the game, so good luck getting your hands on one.
I’m a bit split on this guy. Stormtroopers are cool, but I don’t need him. I might have picked him up in stores, but seeing as how I’d have to jump through hopes to get the Commander I don’t think I’m ever going to own him now.
It’s also kind of funny to note that the Commander was first spotted in December of last year. Why did it take so long for him to be available for sale? Well, The Force Unleashed was very much leashed by several delays that screwed up the release schedule for all it’s tie-in products.

Argg don’t remind me. Like you, I like the Clones and Stormtroopers more than anything…(except I have barely any)
I’m friends with the assistant manager at the local gamestop and tried to coerce him into giving me one, but he wasn’t having it.
I guess I don’t REALLY need it either, but I still want it pretty bad. That blue “scar” on his face is just rad

I dunno, seems a bit overhyped to me. It’s cool I suppose, but all these “exclusives” get kind of old after a while.
Just ignore me, I’m tired.

*thinking* Wonder what the SW continuity fiends will have to say about this.
