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.

No human being can be a “guardian of the space domain”.

Space is vast beyond comprehension!

There was a Paladin episode about a guy who loved doing what Trump is doing he damn near got himself killed. If this is what you want for a POTUS next time vote for Gutfeld.

Heinlein’s novel

Powered armour ... maroon dress uniforms ...

That reimagined Hugo Boss stuff is from the movie(s), and the movie represented Paul Verhoeven's catastrophic failure to understand the novel.

He didn’t want to understand it. He wanted to make a political statement. He failed!

The statement Verhoeven made was “I’m an idiot.”
