In my opinion the quality doesn't look the best. Buy the pin from this guy, he's the best and guaranteed approvable!

Thanks for the clarification! Can't wait to see these changes incorporated!

The spirit of L2 approval is supposed to be "a step up from basic approval", as opposed to L3 being the "you look like you stepped off the screen" level, so L2 is not meant to be nearly as picky.  As long as the applicant's rank bar (and code cylinders) met the L1 and L2 criteria I would not contradict what I just said above and I would approve the applicant with that particular configuration.  However, I would strongly recommend to the applicant that they change up their rank bar/code cylinder configuration to one that is more closely aligned with what we've seen on actual staff officers, particularly if they wish to apply for L3 (where a film canon rank bar is required), and point them to the rank bar guide for further information.
 
This brings up something that should be on the list of potential CRL changes (if it's not already): making sure L3 rank bar criteria are consistent across all applicable CRLs (so ANH Staff Officer, Staff Officer (Non-Saga), Line Officer, and the now retired Staff Officer).  Line Officer and Staff Officer already specify "Rank chosen must be referenced from film canon officers."  ANH Staff Officer does not specify this, but it's not necessary as the L1 requirements already specify the four possible rank bars for this uniform.  Staff Officer (Non-Saga) does not have any L3 requirement for the rank bar. 
 
I'd like to see all these CRLs (except ANH I guess ) with consistent L3 criteria, and update it to state "rank chosen must be from LFL official sources" as opposed to "film canon officers", since we have a lot more LFL official sources than the five Empire-era movies to pull from (e.g. The Mandalorian, half a bazillion comics, oh and let's not open up the can of worms that is Rebels rank configurations  ).  The rank bar guide I linked above also needs to be updated (and possibly referenced in the CRL itself if that's a thing we can do).  It was last updated in 2017 so contains info from R1 and Solo, but not from The Mandalorian or any newer comics.

Hey everybody!  Bob mentioned this topic earlier today in his detachment newsletter, but the discussion for it has thus far been on the staff-only section of the forums, which isn't visible to the membership at large.  So, I would like to duplicate my comments here to solicit more feedback.
 
I would like to make three changes to the judging standards used by deployment officers to judge L2/L3 (Executor/Imperator) submissions.  I believe these changes will remove some subjectivity and ambiguity from the process.  These changes primarily affect Imperator (L3) submissions since the criteria for those is higher than they are for Executor (L2).
 
1. Judging done on CRL specifications only; no unwritten/subjective criteria
 
In the past, applicants have been judged on criteria that are not explicitly spelled out in the CRL, such as the presence of undyed vs. dyed edges on belts, edge grooves on belts, numbers of belt holes, jodhpur shape, tunic length, etc.  Since these are not spelled out in the CRL (or were not in the past; some may be now), there is no way for the applicant to prepare in advance unless they are "in the know", and there is no guarantee the unwritten criteria will be applied consistently across all applicants and different deployment officers.
 
Going forward, we will judge applicants solely based on what is explicitly stated in the CRL.  Some of the criteria I mentioned above have since been added into their respective CRLs (such as undyed belt edges on the ANH Staff Officer CRL) anyway.  If any deployment officers or other IOC staff believe we should be judging based on criteria that are not currently in the CRL, we will discuss them as CRL edits and get them added there (if the consensus goes that way) before they will be used to judge any L2/L3 submissions.
 
This does not mean that deployment officers are prevented from making recommendations or suggestions to applicants based on details that are present in reference material but aren't explicitly stated in the CRLs.  However, these recommendations will be in the form of suggestions only, and will not be used to deny L2/L3 applications.
 
 
2. Emulating an on-screen/canon officer is encouraged, but not required.
 
One of the current expectations for L3 submissions is that the applicant emulate a specific officer configuration (in other words a specific rank bar + code cylinder + belt box + glove + sidearm + any other accessory configuration).  Again, for "generic" CRLs, this isn't spelled out as a L3 requirement.  As long as the applicant's individual costume pieces meet CRL criteria and they are in a configuration that makes sense for that costume (for example: no OT rank bar with Rogue One belt boxes), we will not require that the applicant pick a specific officer configuration and emulate them.
 
We still encourage applicants to emulate a specific officer configuration since that's the easiest way to be really really accurate  and it's a way to show love to a favorite canon officer , but again, this is only if the applicant wants to.
 
 
3. One submission per CRL/version
 
In the past, multiple L3 submissions have been allowed on a single CRL, due to the requirement that applicants emulate an on-screen officer.  Some applicants were then able to rack up many L3 awards on a single costume by switching accessories (for example: submitting their line officer as Admiral Piett, then General Tagge, then Captain Needa). Instead, we propose to allow only one L2 and one L3 submission for an approved costume on a single discrete CRL.  
 
The exception to this will be for CRLs with version tabbing.  An applicant can submit one L2 and one L3 submission for each version of a CRL.  For example, Krennic has four version tabs, so someone could conceivably submit four L2 and four L3 applications if they have all the required options.

Thank you for all the work you've put into the detachment! 

Sorry kman, just seeing this! I don't Iron my uniform, I have it dry cleaned. It doesn't mess up the puff! 

The moment yall have been waiting for! Sorry for the delay! 

Minor spoiler warning, nothing serious to the plot, most of this was in trailer or set photos. 
 
Season 1
 
The Client
Played by Werner Herzog 
In Chapter 7 he's revealed to be an imperial officer. He rocks a pretty cool trench coat and Imperial medal. 

 
Dr. Pershing
Played by Omid Abtahi
This guy is similar to Esro from R1.

 
 
Prisoner from Chapter 6 
Played by ?
This guy only got about 5 seconds of screen time in the background. We know almost nothing about this guy, we don't even have enough photos to make a CRL, we don't even know if he's imperial. People are assuming he's an Imperial officer because he is a prisoner of the New Republic and wears an officer tunic with a unique rank plaque , that's about it. I doubt anyone will make a CRL for this guy, but I thought I throw him into this list for fun.

 
Moff Gideon 
Played by Giancarlo Esposito
I think JRS and the IOC are going to have a custody battle over this guy, not gonna lie. His costume is definitely a hybrid of a Tie Pilot and an Imperial officer. He wears an officer tunic and either jodhpurs or straight pants, couldn't really tell. If they were jodhpurs they had very small flaps. From what I saw he wears standard ridding boots. His rank appears to be mounted on his shoulder straps. His armor and his ship is where I feel we may have issues. His armor is tie pilot inspired and he pilots a modified TIE in the show. Personally, I think IOC should get him because from what we know he's officer first and clearly a pilot second. Hopefully Chapter 8 will reveal more! 

I'll update this thread when Chapter 8 drops next week!
 
Season 2
New officers in Season 2!

These guys use Rouge One/Solo code cylinders, hat pins, and belt boxes. They wear OT style ESB/ROTJ rank bars. They wield SE-14r along with that holster worn by the shield gate officer in Rouge One, apart from some detailing. The belt appears to be on different ways depending on the officer.

Cosplay sky is the only approvable uniform for around $100. If you have the cash, wampawear is a great option as well!

Get well soon Philip!
