You know, I’ve had my little Stor Trooper Hope (sidebar) for ages now. I made her way back when - probably 2001? Maybe 2002? I don’t know. All I know is that I was glad that I saved her. You see, for quite awhile there were no more Stor Troopers and, man-oh-man, I was bumming. How was I going to update my Stor Trooper? How was I going to change her look? She couldn’t change her hair. She couldn’t change her clothes. <sigh> It was a sad, sad day in my world when the Stor Trooper website disappeared.

I know, I know. I sound pathetic.

Anyhow, today I discovered something that turned my grey skies to blue, made my heart pound with happiness and caused me to leap with laughter - Stor Troopers are back! Yes, that’s right. They have returned to the world wide web. Even more exciting - they’re better than ever. There are now Original Troopers, Goth Troopers (above) and Fashionista Troopers. Too fun! Let me tell you, it’s a happy, happy day in Hope Land.

I know, I know. I still sound pathetic. Even more pathetic is the fact that they returned to the web over a year ago and I just found out today. Puhleeze, I’ve never been on top of things. I’ll be wearing last year’s fashions next year. That’s just how I am. Now go make your own Stor Trooper, pop him or her on your website and share it with the world - or at least with me. Have fun!
