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

You can buy Disney tix as soon as they release the august dates. You can then make reservations for the droid workshop, Savis, and Olgas 90 days before you plan on going.

I think the Castle will be the de facto secondary Legion hotel. I know of at least 15-20 staying there at some point.

I know Castle Inn and Suites and Candy Cane Inn are both booking right now. They are both a ten min walk to the CC

My guess is yes it'll be Thur-Mon again. They seem to be coping Dragon*Con in that area. I actually don't mind it, I always catch an evening flight out, and get the con basically to myself on Monday.

Since I have not been to a Celebration since CV in Orlando (2020 will be ten years), I am bound and determined to make this one. I have been given the green light by my superior officer to attend. Disney will of course be a must; especially with it being an easy 20 minute walk from the core hotels. Right now my crew will be 4-7 strong, so that'll be a nice group to cram into one room.

Just so I fully understand. Even though it was shown in several comics blue row up, it has been assumed to just be a coloring error? If it was just in one single issue I could buy that, but they kept it blue up through several issues. Also, who is to say that the Director of Advanced Weapons research would wear his bar the same way as the Director of Imperial Intelligence? Couldn’t an argument ever made that Isard having been given latitude to have a slave camp built into her SSD would just wear it the way she wants? Not to mention that the Imperial rank system has never been uniform.

I had posted this in the IOC FB page, and it now seems to have been deleted. I did get a response from an IOC admin that her CRL would be updated. I have not heard anything back, and my PM to Hask has also been ignored. I would like to know when this CRL will be updated (it’s one single line that says “rank may be worn blue row up)?
 
I would also like to know why my post was deleted; after it was acknowledged that the CRL would be updated due to “numerous examples of it being worn blue up”
 
I am attaching screenshots from the FB thread. If this will not be updated I would like to know which admin posted that it would be updated.

If you have to jump through these hoops and deal with those hurdles for something as simple as adding one frigging sentence "Rank may be worn either Red or Blue row up"; then that tells me the "system" has major flaws in it. I can understand going through them if the CRL is new, or getting a major revamp. But for adding one sentence to fix an issue that has been known for years? Common sense should tell you that a detachment CRL person and DCO should be able to fix minor things like this on the fly; without having to take a vote, jump through hoops, deal with hurdles, etc.
 
This should have taken a grand total of ten minutes to deal with.

What is eminently more frustrating is that this is an known issue that has been lingering for years. It has been asked for repeatedly, and evidence for both variations have been presented. Only to disappear in to the void and ignored. This should not just be an oh hey they whining again lets look like we are doing something for 2 seconds then we never speak of it again. Just. EFFIN. FIX. IT.

You mean like a fidget spinner or...
 

If that is the case; then it should be blue row up. As we have many more sources of it being worn that way then not. Holding up R1 as the best source is doing an injustice to the rule of having three sources showing the same thing to be included in the CRL.
 
Plus we are not talking about a complete rewrite or massive edit of the CRL. I'm not sure how adding a single sentence saying "rank can be worn either red or blue row up" would do any harm to whatever consistency is being looked at.

And that is all that is being asked for, an official option to wear it as both as both are presented.

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.

Gentlemen if I may as well put my thoughts into this, as a woman who wears this uniform and has seen both variations of the rank bar, allow the option. I understand that Krennic in all his caped diva glory is a film character and that scene setting is important I also remind you that Ysanne was the First. As she is now a legend she has the latitude that the other Director does not, she should have both as an allowable option. And really who is going to tell the Mistress of Lusankya no?

If I may chime in here.  What Neil is asking for is not a coloring error.  I know Mike Richardson and am good friends with Randy Stradley of Dark Horse comics.  He oversaw all of these comics that Issard was featured in.  Her rank is more often than not seen Blue over Red.  

If I may, Director is not a rank, it is a title.  Pablo Hildalgo even shows this in the visual guide for the film.
 Krennic wears the rank bar of a fleet admiral.  His title is that of Director of Special Weapons for Imperial Intelligence.

This is not unlike our own US CIA sometimes having civilian and military directors of the agency.  When they are military officers, their rank may vary from Lieutenant general to 4 star general, but they are all called Director.
 
This is such a small thing and it would mean a lot to the women who wear this costume if they can wear it the way they fell in love with the first time they saw Issard.
 
 

For my Krennic I use a 35gal Husky rolling tote. My boots go in a Wally's Custom boot bag, my DT-29 has it's own bag as well. All of the soft parts get folded, and laid on top of the boots and blaster. All of the other bits and pieces plus various repair items go in the tray.

That’s the rub. I only did it because I got incredibly lucky on my boots. Found an eBay seller going out of business and sold me a pair with the strap for $115.
 
It’s also the biggest reason we only have two L3 approved Krennics in the legion.

That’s why you almost have to get them custom made. Just stumbling on a pair that are your size and good condition is an exercise in futility.

As the post title indicates, I had some epic Krennic cape action at a troop this weekend:
 

 
I felt it could be 'epic-er' though!
 

 

 

 
 

Thanks. I've been slowly trying to get all of those fixed, and I think I just forgot about that one.

It is often implied but never stated that a level 3 must be for a person seen on screen.  Is there no such thing as a generic level 3?

For what it is worth Magnoli is about $500 cheaper. Clothears want's 995 British Pounds ($1300)  for the tunic, pants, and hat. Magnoli want's $800 for the pants and tunic (and $30 for a yard of matching fabric for the hat). Even spending another $100 to have the hat made; you're still running less then Clothears.
 
I got my Krennic from Magnoli, and even with the cloak added on I was still less then Clothears. Not knocking them at all; only saying there is a big difference in price for what I am hearing is little to no difference in quality.

My Krennic is from Magnoli and in my opinion the quality is top notch. The tunic is excellent with a good lining and a very good drape and feel. The trousers are also very nice.
