This photo all but destroys a theory of mine. It used to be that when you went to a comic book convention, you would see dozens and dozens of Klingons in attendance. Now instead of Klingons, you see lots of Stormtroopers.
I had a theory that the Stormtroopers killed off all the Klingons. That was until I found this photo on Flickr. This appears to a hybrid Klingon-Stormtrooper. Perhaps the Stormtroopers didn’t kill off the Klingons. The Klingons may have instead evolved into Stormtroopers. Or, when the Stormtroopers started to show up at comic book conventions, the Klingons may have just killed the Stormtroopers with their bat’leths and took their plastic Imperial Stormtrooper armor as their own. That would explain why this Klingon Stormtrooper is not wearing a Stormtrooper helmet. He may have lopped off the Stormtroopers head with this bat’leth and in his battle frenzy, forgot to retrieve the head.
This would certainly explain a lot.
There very well may be inside every Stormtrooper, the beating heart of a Klingon.

What the hell is a bat’leths?
Schooly, a bat’leth is long circular Klingon sword. You were holding one in your high school yearbook picture. This was before your school banned the practice of dressing up like a Klingon for the senior yearbook photo.
HA! You fell for it! That was a Nerd Check. You passed with flying colors!
PS- I really didn’t know what that thing was. I don’t like Star Trek at all, except The Next Generation. Patrick Stewart rocked and that mind-reading chick was hot (for the 90s, anyway.)
You are check to see if I’m a nerd? What are ya going to next? Go to the ocean and test it for saltiness?
I meant no offense- some of my best friends are nerds.
Hmmm, my comment didn’t show.
Anyway, I have photographic evidence that not ALL of them are Klingons. I have proof that at least one of them is a Tusken Raider. I’ll post that shot to Flickr in the next week or so. I have thousands of pictures from Dragon*Con to go through.
