Posted on TruthSocial by 47. I had to check to see that this wasn’t parody.

Being inspired by the Starship Troopers uniforms or the Imperials from Star Wars leads to the same place.

Nope.

Nothing original about this.

It's possible and even likely that Spaceballs was a specific and literal design inspiration, particularity for the hat.



In presumably related news, Trump was photographed wearing what sure looks like someone else's hairpiece. Maybe Otis got mixed up in the cloak room?

DAN DARE used that spearhead shape for their Space Fleet emblem long before STAR TREK came along.

It’s a sad thing that I saw a measure this before seeing the actual uniform.
Mitchell and Webb - do you think we’re the bad guys?

Heard the Imperial March the moment I saw this travesty online. I'd ask if any of them realize the Empire was the villain but... let's be honest, this gang would be Imperials start to finish.
