    Mesh reacted to kman in Cosplaysky and L3   
    The only issue is the green ones.  Black and white are still fine.
     
    (And nothing is ever taken away... had you been approved to L3 in green before, it would still be valid, but no new applications for L3 in this green will be approved)

    Mesh reacted to kman in Updated trenchcoats- (pocket stitching and fake pockets, not currently allowable in the CRL, but seen in the newer shows)   
    The collar difference are no optical illusion.  Partagaz' collar is laying against the front of his chest, while Meero's is literally on top of her shoulders... you can see clearly in the small shots above, showing her from the side.
     
    They're different size people wearing different size jackets, but those jackets are not off the rack S-M-L sizes, rather, they've been tailor made to fit the individual specific actors as their "size".  So which layout is correct?  There clearly is no correct, there's a correct range.

    There's certainly a base pattern they use for background characters that don't warrant tailoring, but any way you shake it, there's definitely lots of wiggle room in the design.

    Mesh reacted to chicken45 in Rule modification for ISB CRLs.   
    I had it in my head that we were going to wait till Andor to do “non saga/saga” like we did with the Line Officers. 
    But trooping last weekend, I had a lot of fun promoting myself from inspector general, to colonel, to director and using that to play off the kids that noticed.  
    It got me thinking, “why do we need an on screen rank for ISB?” The answer is we don’t based on being consistent with black and green tunics.  
    If someone wants to be a L3 ANH ISB with no codies and funky tunic, let them.  Let’s do a non saga ISB CRL. 
    Can we isolate V1 and V2 to “ANH ISB” and break out V3 into its own “non saga ISB” CRL?

    I was wondering if we can add Empire patches to the New Security Officer as seen in the comic "Star Wars Operation starlight" Here's some pictures.

    I have been reading your comments, I know you are still coming up to speed with how we are doing things.
     
    We have made the straight pants and Chelsea boots as optional variants.  Canonically there never was a social officer or a science officer.  There was simply an officer wearing straight pants and Chelsea boots per the uniform of the day where they were stationed.  If you have served in the military you would recognize that the CLR that we just issued for the Naval and Army officers in green is set up this way.
     
    As to the First Order style boots being permitted, I have talked about the two principles at play.  We deal with principles because it is important to remove personality and preference from these decisions and serve the broadest number of members here.  Too often detachments try to improve the quality of costumes by making changes to the level 1 details.  That is not the place for it.  It should be done to the level 2 and level 3 areas.  These changes don't elevate standards so much as they block entry for many members.  We are seeing more comments from garrison officers speaking here or messaging me directly.  
     
    As for the principles, the first is we allow what we see.  We have no less than 4 recorded instances of officers wearing these First Order style boots.  This is a very easy precedent to follow because it is extremely clear cut.  You see it? You can do it.

    The other principle is called allowing only the "idealized" version the costume.  This principle is more esoteric and has no hard line.  You see we do not make Star Wars in the legion, we only emulate it.  LFL makes Star Wars.  So we say that these boots were all they could find, but they really should be like a black unadorned English riding boot, not a first order boot.  What is the threshold to allow it to be included?  2 boots?  4?  8? 10?  What is the level and when is that level not arbitrary by the decision maker?

    I am not for arbitrary.  And I am for full transparency.  And I am for members in the majority of the times knowing what they can and cannot do before they even speak with us.  After getting more people engaged, it is the most important thing as to why I have come to this office.
     
    If a member has a First Order costume and wants to do a security services uniform and they reuse their FO boots....I am ok with it.  We can word that so it isn't prohibitive of them doing it.  We can still hold the ideal for level 2 and 3 as the English leather riding boots.  But no one is going to call the person not screen accurate... because there it is, on the screen.
    And it gets that member trooping.
     
    And canonically we call these First Order boots because we first saw them in The Force Awakens.   But we have now seen them in Solo and Rogue One.  They are reminiscent to the cuffs on boots found on Republic officers in The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith.  This is part of the reason why we are separating these CRLs from the OT CRLs.  The OT will not be touched.  These new CRLs will go where LFL takes us.  And I think that is the right direction.
