Trump's new uniform design for Space Force bears uncanny resemblance to 'the bad guys from Star Wars,' critics say
The Daily Mail ^ | September 7, 2026 | STEPHEN M. LEPORE

Donald Trump revealed a potential uniform for the US Space Force that has people comparing the service's new look to classic science fiction movies.

The newest wing of the American military has been mocked in the past for the futuristic nature of their uniforms.

However, many were taken aback when Trump posted a new 'Service Dress Uniform' for the force titled 'Next Generation' which directly references the 1997 film Starship Troopers.

The design is inspired, according to the photo description, 'by the discipline and functionality of the starship trooper uniform modernized for the guardians of the space domain.'

The color palette used for the uniforms includes 'space gray,' 'midnight black,' 'silver gray' and 'satin black.'

Trump gave no explanation for the new uniforms.

Many were confused by the post and the concept behind the uniforms, comparing them to the villains of various space films.

'I see we’re going for the galactic empire look,' wrote one, referencing the imperial officers' uniforms in the Star Wars films.

He starts the day with a troll and the islamocommies have ditch their talking points for the day to respond to the Trump troll.

Which is genius.

BTW, for anyone who wants to read Heinlein's thoughts on his own book, check out his 1980 essay collection, Expanded Universe.

Agree.

The Army, Marines, Navy are very old and have “traditions” that out of respect should be kept.

Even the USAF is at 80 years not counting the Air Corps.

The Army going back to their classic pink and green (what really looks brown to me), is a nice development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGl8rjzFG4k (lots of history)

Much nicer than the polyester baby shit greens with really big lapels we had from the 70s. Just some made up crap from the time. Remember the class A's? Yuck: https://grandpopsarmynavy.com/cdn/shop/files/IMG_7440_1400x.jpg?v=1754593709

Space Force is a new creation, and because of what they deal with, they deserve a near (((Science Fiction))) look that is from today. No need to look back.

Space force should go with Star Trek TOS. Although their females will need to work to get into shape for the miniskirts!

My wife and I noticed the short shorts, dresses and skirts are making a comeback.

Nice.

The Muslim look wasn’t our thing.

A movie s bad, that it was good. Everything was excessive and over the top. That movie would make a great basis for a stage musical performance.
The way some developed a live production from the song
“Mama Mia” by Abba.
