Star Wars - First Order Stormtrooper Officer - LEGO Minifigure
Stormtroopers, also referred to as First Order stormtroopers, or bucketheads, were elite infantry units in the military forces of the First Order. Serving as an elite branch with close ties to the First Order army, the new stormtrooper generation was composed of humanconscripts taken from their families at birth, trained since childhood, and identified by serial numbers instead of personal names. This form of training, combined with years of Imperial-inspired propaganda, worked to produce an army of super-soldiers personally loyal to the First Order and its ruler, Supreme Leader Snoke. Like their predecessors, the original stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire, First Order troopers were equipped with stark white body armor; its design reminiscent of the Imperial style as well as the earlier version worn by clone troopers of the Galactic Republic. Additionally, the First Order provided its soldiers with two standard weapons: the F-11D blaster rifle, successor to the Imperial E-11 blaster rifle, and the SE-44C blaster pistol.

Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise, centered on a film series created by George Lucas. It depicts the adventures of various characters "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".
The franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope in 1981), which became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. It was followed by the successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi(1983); these three films constitute the original Star Wars trilogy. A prequel trilogy was released between 1999 and 2005, which received mixed reactions from both critics and fans. A sequel trilogy began in 2015 with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. All seven films were nominated for Academy Awards (with wins going to the first two films) and have been commercial successes, with a combined box office revenue of over $7.5 billion, making Star Wars the third highest-grossing film series. Spin-off films include the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and Rogue One (2016), the latter of which is the first in an upcoming series of anthology films.

Lego minifigure, commonly referred to as a "mini fig", or simply just "fig", is a small plastic articulated figurine, many of which are yellow and other skin tones, available as part of the construction toy Lego, produced by Danish toy manufacturer the Lego Group. They were first produced in 1978, and have become hugely successful, with over 3.7 billion produced, and the figure appearing in a variety of media, including movies, books and video games. The figures are usually found within Lego sets, although they are also sold separately as keychains and magnets. While some are named as specific characters, either licensed from film franchises or of Lego's own creation, many are unnamed and are designed simply to fit within a certain theme (such as police officers, astronauts and pirates). Minifigures are collected by both children and adults. They are highly customizable, and parts from different figures can be mixed and matched, resulting in a large number of combinations.
