A Photographer Shows Us The Romantic Secret Life Of Stormtroopers

Stormtroopers as you've never seen them before.

In the "Star Wars" universe, the Imperial Stormtroopers are just an army of faceless, nameless, soul-less pawns with absymal shooting skills.

But underneath their domed white helmets? Hopes and dreams... and love.

Thanks to photographer Darryll Jones, we finally understand the rich inner lives of Stormtroopers, thanks to this Instagram series that follows a very special trooper named Eric (hashtag: haveyouseeneric) on his day off.

So, what do Stormtroopers do when they're not guarding the Death Star?

A comfy pair of jeans is a must before hitting up an open mic night.

Eric meets a llama.

Eric gets in touch with his Scottish roots.

Eric takes his friend "Bob" for a motorbike joyride.

And on a strawberry picnic.

And at moments like this, the troubles of the Empire seem very, very far away.

Check out Jones' Instagram to see all of Eric the Stormtrooper's adventures.
