I hope Sabertrooper doesn't mind me answering this.Fritz said:Sabertrooper!!!! Where did you get the image for your avatar. I used to own that poster many many years ago of the Stormtrooper holding the light saber. I can't remeber what it was called or where it was from. I vaguely remember something about a Starlog magazine. It wasn't a pull out was it? You don't have a hi-res picture or a link you could share do you?
That's a concept painting by the great Ralph McQuarrie. He worked very closely with Lucas to come up with a lot of the character designs for the OT. He was a big influence on me as an artist and designer. Sorry to go off topic.
Here's a good site to see more of his work:
