Donato Giancola. Check out his work at www.donatoart.com.

He does mostly fantasy/sci-fi, but his work is in the classical style and it is absolutely stunning. Here are a few examples from the net:

Aren't they all clones of the same guy?

What would be the point really?

In the scope of the first 3 films, the idea was that a stormtrooper was just like any other guy, but he worked for the Empire. Like this guy. He probably doesn't consider himself a bad guy, he's just working.
