[MODERATOR NOTE: THIS RANK CHART THREAD IS NOW CONSIDERED OBSOLETE. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING THREAD FOR THE CURRENT RANK CHART USED BY THE IOC: ]
[/END OF MODERATOR NOTE]
This the official guide to illustrate all canon officer ranks recognized by the IOC. It is compiled with reference from the original movies, and official EU sources. It is created from a costuming point of view, and not meant to explain every rank's importance or how they differ from movie to movie (that's what fan fiction is for). It is just a simple chart that shows what rank officially goes on what costume. Code cylinders are intentionally excluded, and can be referenced in the CRLs.
Note Rogue one/Solo ranks are only compatible with Rogue one uniform style
COMMAND STAFF EDIT: There is a more current/comprehensive rank bar guide in this location:
(We are keeping this post intact for the time being)
I left them out because I'm still not convinced they are rank connected. Gen Veers wore one in his dress uniform, but none in his battle armor. The Snowtrooper Lt wore none on his armor as well.
The only occurrence we can speculate cylinder association with rank is when Piett assumes Ozzel's same amount of cylinders upon promotion. This may simply be because he needed access to the same info Ozzel had, after taking his position.
