Interesting combination. Aussault tank driver helmet, Snow trooper armor, coat and something that reminds me of the ejection harness of Baron Fel. The handplates also look completly new. For me it looks like the boots have a foldable snowshoe atteched. That would be a pretty cool feature I'd like to see in action.

there is some deep jealousy against Hux by some older officers. He has advanced far beyond their station when they have served longer. They think it is because of his family, but all of them got to where they are because of their connections (and Hux did kill his father). Hux is over them because of his performance and his service to Snoke. Abuse him as he does, even Kylo Ren recognizes his utility. Otherwise he would have got rid of Hux as soon as he took control and installed one of the older yes men.
The whole military overhead of the First Order reminds me of Nazi Germany. There where also a lot of young officers in position the establishment thought they were unworthy top hold them. There were two reasons for it, First a vast expanding military without an appropiate command structure, second a lot of people in it that used their connections within the regime to raise in rank. Hux is in my opinion a mixture of both. And we have to keep in mind that even the Emperor himself saw something in the Hux family, both father and son, as they're the only ones Rax should take to unknown regions.

As stated before, just contact ypur local GMO and i wish you good luck with your approval I had the honor to do some of these approvals as GMO in Germany. It's fun to present new members their Legion ID on their birthday. Nice to see that this appears to be a legionwide tradition.

Luckily they seem to have it streamlined for the First Order.
The very vague sentence with "sector specific ranks" in the R1 visual guide was no real help to solve the problem with OT ranks. I'm curious what the Thrawn comic adaption will add here, as it's set before ANH in the Rebels era and in there are a ton of ranks mentioned in the book.

In the visual dictionary for TLJ you see the "old" boot variant with the zipper inside along with a second variant that has an adjustment strap like a Krennic and no zipper. Only the costume department knows why they did that. Th last times I wtached the movie I looked after specific rank - boot configurations, but they seem to be haphazard.

Before I got the epaulettes für my grand admiral (Yes there was a time this was in the CRL) a kid named all Charakters at an event at a local Lego discovery center. When it came to me it looked wary and said "Clone doctor?" Since then I had a new costume. But it was better than waiter.
-
It seems like there is at least one visible admiral in this, scene, but he stands in the audience:
If you look closely you can see thats he´s in good company with at least 5 other generals and maybe an other admiral or general:
The problem with the guys in the back of Hux speech is that you can´t see their rankbar. That was the main issue as the CRL for the generic general was discussed in the GWL forum. Aren´t there any pictures of the actor where we can see the full uniform?
-
I think you´re right, the pics don´t show many facial details, but they look pretty much the same.
The dart is back in the draft.
Concerning the naming: I took "Imperial Army Operations Officer" because Molock is "Army Operations Chief" and he wears the same uniform as the reporting officer. But i´m open for other suggestions on this one.
-
It´ll be interesting to see if it´s only a "good guy" outfit or if there´ll be other officers in battle armor and cape or coat.
It´s about time to get a teaser or trailer with something to discuss.
-
I can´t understand how it´s possible to spend so much effort in the details and get them all wrong. They had access to everything we can only dream off, and thats the result. But i´m looking forward to see some pictures of your progress!

If this was to go ahead L3 would need to include push buttons for the rank bar.
Thank you for the hint, you´re of course right and i just added the requirement.
Concerning the code cylinder pockets i also tend to say the tunic has them after looking at the screens again (i don´t post them as we all use the same cource starwarsscreencaps.com) .

Just edited the lvl 2 requirements for the tunic as there is no visible dart, thanks for the hint Steven.
Regarding the jodhpurs i don´t want to change that as this only refers to the fabric, not the color. And the fabric should match in all three parts of the costume
18 hours ago, Steven said:I would really like to see this as a new CRL.
I do have some concerns about the requirements for the Tunic. From what I can see there is no dart in the top center of the yoke and I can also see no collar closure. I think the collar closure of this uniform is the same like at the 451 Uniform on the side above the shoulder. But this is just a suspicion of me. And I'm also not sure if there were Code Cylinder pockets, but it's hard to tell.
And you also copied the phrase about the jodhpurs
- Fabric is a medium weight suiting material exactly matching the tunic and hat.
This need to be only matching the hat, not the tunic, because, as you say correctly in the headline, the trousers need to be black.
These are the things that came to my mind after first reading. Good work overall.
-
I´m also a member of the "you´re more than half a meter away - i don´t recognise you anymore" team. Till i finally found lenses i can wear without irritating my eye i also wore my glasses on events. The only costume i still have issues is Thrawn as there aren´t any red lenses with the specifications i´d need. So i carry my glasses with me to be able to see something if necessary.

I want to link to the thread Marc started in the ISB section regarding the Imperial Army Operations Officer (that´s the best term i heard so far) and propose a first draft for a future CRL based on the great work done over for the Fahrenheit 451 ANH staff officer.

This would be a very awkward way to put a uniform on, wouldn't it? And you'd need someone to help you.
That was also my first thought. Naturally members aid each other to get in costume, but all imperial/FO uniforms habe a funcional design. A tunic with a zipper in the back is the exact opposite of being functional.
-
I agree that on the pictures they look different, but IMHO the picture on the left has a much lower resolution than Husk. So it could be possible that the engine doesn´t render the details to prevent perfomance issues. Has anyone 4k screenshots of the generic officer ingame (not the Holos from the menu)?

The last time i watched TLJ i focussed in the boots and the Major who reports to Hux in the hangar bay wears IMO also boots with adjustement straps. So i think -based on the curent Information - in a future TLJ CRL there should be an option wether to wear the "old" TFA First Order boots or the "new" ones. They don´t have the zipper, for the rest seem to look exactly the same (except für the strap of course).
The pictures below show Finn & Rose. I also tend to be sceptic to use them as a reference, but the boots look like the all the other of this type in the visual dictionary.

Interesting!
I know that FISD have their various troopers all sectioned out. Are there enough differences between movies/other media to warrant new CRL's per?
Also I think that there was a lot of discussion previously on the forum about Fahrenheit-451 uniforms getting their own CRL at the very least. Unsure where that went or how far along it is if work began on it?
I think Fahrenheit deserves an own CRL, for the other Staff Officer costume variants there should be as much CRLs as needed but as few as possible.
For example, i don´t know the reason FISD did a complete new CRL the TLJ trooper (not executioner) when the onliy difference is the faceplate of the helmet and the optional accessories. For thi s cases i´d prefer alternate configurations. -

Looks like the design Kris posted. The TFA encyclopedia says they´re worn by engineers.
-
That´s great information, this guy really is a valuable source
It´s interesting that Krennic was promoted to an Army General before he was promoted to a Director.

I believe there was already a draft started for this particular build in one of the threads in the First Order Officers section, if someone wants to grab that and migrate it over in this direction.
Mobile absolutely hates me or I would x.xYou´re absolutly right, it can be found here (i share my post cause links to complete threads are broken somehow):
Since Cari wanted it presented over the regular channels to the LMOs i put it in the "New to the legion" section over at the legion forum.

Thrawn (Comic Adaptation)

It's an interesting question. The character itself is an officer, so it wouldn't be erroneous to welcome him here. As a wildling he'd also fit to the Denizens as someone living at the edge of civilised space. Even the new Underworld Detachment would be possible as he's definitely a villain. But no matter where, I'm looking forward to see that WIP thread happen!
