Apple design guru Jony Ive drew inspiration for the earbuds from the Empire's white-armored soldiers.

Thank Star Wars' Stormtroopers for Apple AirPods' Design


The design of Apple's headphones was inspired by stormtroopers, according to a story on Apple design head Jony Ive in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.


"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams said Ive told him he "had the look of the original Stormtroopers in mind" when Ive designed Apple's earbuds.


Ive's ties to the Dark Side don't stop there, however. Abrams' reimagined Star Wars lightsaber also received Ive's design help.
