Plastoid was a type of material used in the armor worn by Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith. When Luke Skywalker burned Vader's armor on Endor, only the charred and twisted remains of the partially molten helmet, along with ashes and small pieces of metal and plastoid were left behind in the funeral pyre.[1] Clone trooper armor consisted of a set of form-fitting plastoid plates worn over a black body glove.[2] The armor was vulnerable to direct blaster fire. Stormtrooper armor was made of a plastoid composite that was impervious to chemical warfare. Therefore, it featured an air filter in the helmet and a built in oxygen tank. Plastoid was used in the construction of certain Separatist droids.[3] Plastoid armor was worn by Ap'lek, a member of the Knights of Ren.[4]
