Stormtroopers have become cultural icons, and a widely recognized element of the Star Wars franchise.[66] In 2015, an Imperial stormtrooper helmet from The Empire Strikes Back that was expected to sell at auction for $92,000[67] sold for $120,000.[68] In 2019, a team of biologists named a new genus of Colombian spiders, Stormtropis, after the stormtroopers,[69] noting the spiders, like the fictional soldiers, are "very similar to each other, with some capacity for camouflage but with unskillful movements".[70]
