hehehehhehhehhehe....Awwwwww yeah!
love it.
Although I'm sure it's been discussed by us Geeks before, but the "Imperial Navy Troopers / Garrison Troopers" soldiers, as seen in the movies, (A New Hope - The soldiers w/ Vader during Leia's interrogation scene onboard Death Star) have helmets that are much closer in concept and look of the Samurai kabuto helmets; whereas Vader's helmet is closer to the German infantry helmet of WW2.
Also, General Veers, onboard his AT-AT in Empire Strikes Back, wears a helmet that's inbetween the Wermacht style and Kabuto style in helmets
Of course, there IS influence of the kabuto in Vader's helmet, certainly.
*GEEK*

PS - now all they need is a Katana that has a vivid red finish on the saya/scabbard... :roll:
