I'm gonna regret this... but I want one.

Tunic:
- I cannot see from the picture how it fastens. Definitely does not look like an overlap like the OT ones so not sure yet. Hooks maybe?

- neck seal looks a lot like a tk one

- yoke piece looks like a separate piece - much like Qi'ra's red Cape.

- be still my beating heart - the female one has seams on the front of the tunic! Yay!

Trousers:
- evil point things

Has anyone got any reference for the boots yet?

Oh no by all means keep researching and discussing the costume!
Worst case scenario, discussion just moves/shares across with another detachment somewhere further down the line.

And while yes the FO petty officer shared a very similar uniform design to that seen on the Technician, "Technician" is very clearly the name given to this particular configuration with the helmet and all the other new accessories. The FO Gunner used almost exactly the same configuration as our FO TLJ Petty Officer CRL, they used the base uniform costume itself on several different ranks and roles I guess!

Thanks. I never expected it to be at the front of the line, but just given consideration. 

Even if it comes up semi-annually, it's a fair question.
CRL updates and overhauls are tough.  Tougher than I thought they'd be.  This is one to consider, but not at the front of the que.

Let's start with the question of why Pryce gets one. Simply put her uniform is 100% different. Animated uniforms in general are 100% different from the movies.
I can't just wear my normal green suit and say "I'm Kassius Konstantine", the rank bars and code cylinders are different shapes, the boots aren't perfect matches, the collars have those black marks on them, the hat disks and belts are totally different. There's nothing I can use from my movie uniform and have it be approved as an animated officer.
 
What's different between Veers, Piett and Needa? Number of code cylinders and rank bar tiles. "But Ozzel has a mustache!" He sure does, but his uniform and accessories are exactly the same as every other officer in the original trilogy. "But Motti and Tagge don't wear hats!" You're right, we don't see them wearing hats and many others in A New Hope are hat-less. But the uniforms and accessories themselves are the same as all the others. "But Tarkin gets his own CRL!" You're right, he does, and about 95% of his uniform is exactly the same as all the others. But he has the dress shirt under his uniform and a very specific hair style and facial features. Admittedly that doesn't really seem like enough to warrant a whole separate CRL, but if I go troop an event as Veers, and halfway through I decide to change up my code cylinders and rank bar and walk back out as Piett that's a 5 second change. If I start an event as Tarkin and want to change to Jerjerrod I'd have to wash my hair, clean off my old man makeup, take off the dress shirt under my tunic, add a hat and change up all the other accessories. Not as simple/quick.
 
But for arguments sake lets say the Detachment Leader decides to publish a Veers CRL. Great. Now people want Motti, and Tagge, and Piett both admiral and captain, and Khurgee... the list is endless and all we're doing between those CRLs is changing accessories, facial hair, and hair styles. That's just a nightmare for the detachment staff, LMO team, and webteam. 
 
My proposed counter idea would be to have character specific galleries in the CRL similar to the TIE Pilot helmet detail examples - https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TI_TIE_Pilot_Helmet-detail
Similar idea, just list named officers and show an image of their accessories and a small text description example: General Veers - X# of code cylinders in X style, rank bar is X rows with X red tiles and X blue tiles

I understand the want to be an officially approved Veers vs. just a line officer, but there's nothing stopping any of us at a troop saying, "Hi, I'm General Veers" when talking to fans.

I too also really like this idea.  Thanks for bringing it up!

Hello.
This may exist somewhere as I know we've all talked about this before, but can we sticky a "Working List" of what CRLs are looking to be updated and maybe keep it updated quarterly?  Even it's it is just a brief outline of what's being worked on and what's in the pipeline.
I'm curious what CRLs are being worked on currently and if there is discussion, and it's open to all members, would like to view it.  Just curious.

That's not a bad idea, I think I like that.  We'll discuss some options for something along these lines.

Smol CRL Team nudge that this was all something discussed over on the CRL team area back in early June.  Spike posted the text into that area for discussion. It seems we've got some wires crossed! It'll get sorted out, no worries folks.

Pew-pew!

We can say that we "know" what a Director rank bar is supposed to look like, however this is using a new rank system developed for Rogue One. R1 came out ages after Ysanne's appearance.
We also know irrefutably that the rank system of the Empire is a complete shambles, with very little consistency outside of a handful of face characters. What we piece together and "presume", trying to make sense of it all using information corroborated by other sources. Books, comics, card games, etc. The only ranks we can say are "sure things" are the R1 and Solo ranks, thanks to a rank system (which again, often contradicted a lot of the information we thought we "knew" from previous media) provided by Glyn Dillon. That alone reads to me like a conversation along these lines happened: "oh god this rank system is a nightmare, we should really hammer this down". So they did. Holding the entire back catalogue of Star Wars, Ysanne included who held the title of Director years before Krennic appeared, to the rules set down barely a few years ago doesn't seem right to me. StarWars is a massive, sprawling and expansive universe that has been contributed to by many creators over the decades. Stuff created way back when does not and should not be forced into the same rule structures necessarily as stuff created in the last couple of years.
If blue over red was a mistake, that happened once or maybe twice? Then yes that's an inaccuracy and there is nowhere near the same grounds for inclusion in a CRL under official capacity. The fact that blue over red appeared again, and again, not just in the official comics but in external licensed media such as figurines and card games, shows that whether any of us like it or not? It is an accepted rank bar designation. Any arguments featuring "but Director Krennic" can be shelved, it's  like deciding modern-day rank systems retroactively apply to everything in the past. When Ysanne existed, she existed in her own time with her own set of rules, and during that time, blue over red was an acceptable configuration.
My two cents, anyway.

In my opinion, if we have clear and consistent references, the CRL should reflect this. The rank bar being flipped wasn't a one time, one issue thing, it appeared as blue over red across several issues and assorted licensed material. 
 
For this reason, I highly doubt it was a coloring error. 
 
Additionally, it harms literally no one to add a line allowing for members portraying Ysanne to wear their rank bar in either direction, as is shown in the comics. 
 
But overall, by ignoring certain references, it just shows to outsiders that some references are more valid than others, and this is something I am not okay with. 
 
The CRL team has been discussing it though, I can assure you guys of that. We've had to agree to disagree on a few points lol. I'm hoping we'll have an answer and the reasoning soon!!

I keep it simple.

All five days.  Staying at one of the attached hotels, but I can't remember which. XD Hope to see a bunch of you there!

Yep, I added some flowers to girly it up, that and I just like flowers so why not.

Just small details that don't exactly match the screen-used prop.
 
As I said, though, it's close enough it should be approved without issue.

Wait, who is Bevel Lemelisk? He did what? Built MY Death Star?
