Museum Replicas Is Rolling Out The Armor This July 
Looks like Lucasfilm has finally grabbed the bull by the horns and has found themselves a company to produce high quality and official Star Wars replica costumes and armor in Windlass Studios & Museum Replicas.
Here's the official press release:
Museum Replicas Joins With Lucas Licensing for Star Wars™ Collectibles
January 28, 2008
New Agreements Begin This Month for Collectible Replica Clothing and Armor
Fans and collectors will find new lines of collectibles from Museum Replicas and their new licensing division Windlass Studios in 2008; it was announced today by Museum Replicas. Lucas Licensing’s STAR WARS replica clothing and armor licensee will assume the design and production of the high-end, collectible ensembles and full sets of the iconic armor including stormtrooper and bounty hunter armor.
Museum Replica’s line will debut in the spring and continues the remarkable popularity of high-end collectibles for discerning STAR WARS enthusiasts. The line will feature replica clothing and armor of such unforgettable characters as Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, Boba Fett, Han Solo and Princess Leia.
Newly formed Windlass Studios will develop, manufacture and distribute collectible, limited-edition replicas of full-sized and wearable ensembles. They expect the first ensembles to be available for pre-order in the spring while the armor is set to be unveiled for the first time at San Diego Comic-Con International in July.
The STAR WARS clothing and armor collection can be seen in person at the Museum Replicas/Windlass Studios exhibitor booths at the International Costume Show Las Vegas, San Diego Comic-Con International & Atlanta Dragon*Con 2008

Let me be the first to state, I don't even WANT to know how much official Stormtrooper armor is going to cost.
