Photo of the Day: Our First Look at Star Wars: Episode VII's Stormtrooper?

The website known as Making Star Wars posted a cool update featuring a photo of an updated Stormtrooper helmet that is apparently from Star Wars: Episode VII. Look closely at the pic below, and you can make out at least four more helmets (mostly by staring at the ceiling lights reflecting off the white armor) that lucky background actors at Pinewood Studios (where the majority of J.J. Abrams' upcoming and highly-anticipated movie is being filmed) near London and elsewhere will get to wear as what remains of the Empire wreaks havoc on the Galaxy in Episode VII. I'm a huge fan of the designs for the Clonetroopers in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, respectively, but it is totally great to see Abrams creating real costumes for extras and actors to wear for these soldiers...as opposed to the computer-generated army that George Lucas opted to portray in the last two Star Wars prequels. Old school is awesome.
