    It doesn't look to me as though Xodell is wearing the "Mimban Officer" uniform.  I don't think he has a breastplate for a start.  He seems to be more the standard line officer with optional trench coat.

    These are pictures from the Solo book, and may have appeared in the movie, but without them on film or the corroborating info like the name in the book they arent good for this crl is what I'm understanding?  I love how this green one has a rounded collar, which is a variation we have only seen in black so far.

    Ill concede that  - however - my comment was not just based on personal aesthetics (though my USAF issued trench coat/rain coat falls mid-shin) - but rather from looking at the shots we see of the LT - particularly the ones found on page 1 of this thread. The photo where he is sitting down in the behind the scenes shot would have the coat coming up much higher if it was mid calf - and the photo where it is nearly full body and he is walking towards the camera - it appears that you can see the bulge in the fabric where his knee is hitting it - lending more credence that the coats indeed fall to mid-shin rather than mid-calf.

    I also submit for consideration this photo of the coats from R1 since we have already decided that the coats are the same.

    I think that isn't the top of the boot.  But these are the pics I use for coat length.

    This, tbh!
    "Mud Trooper" the hint is in the name. And yeah Woody's character is very likely in disguise (we can only assume) but who knows, we might find out these are officers, and there might be more iterations of this than Woody's character!
    That coat is slick! Looks heavier than R1, a thicker kinda rubbery material?

    I'm fairly certain its the same, just dirty.

  4. General Veers.

     

     

    His presence, his humanity, his ability to get the job done.

     

    My first uniform I made was grey, same grey as the action figure and 12" doll.  After learning the color was incorrect, I think i was bummed and put the project off for many years.  But I never lost the passion to become an imperial officer.

       I was bummed when I later  submitted my olive drab officer uniform for approval, I was told my rank badge was too widely spaced, changing it to a commander instead of a general, like Veers.  I still have my armor, which has also been sitting that I recently picked back up and started working on.

    the old visual guide said that.  
    West End Game's RPG called them "battle station operations".

    The costume designer for Rogue One and the Solo movie calls them "security services".  They seem to be more skilled than your average stormtrooper as they do all sorts of things.  If we see them in any armor like that of Veers, it is going to be a definite nope.

    I am excited for the movie.

    Where did you read that about costume designer?

    No green line officers wore green ponchos in Rogue One because they never made any.  Black security branch officers wore black ponchos.... and Krennic had his.

     

    this may be different with the upcoming Solo movie, but we will have to see.  I want a green one anyway because I will wear it to cons, not official Troops.

     

    It makes sense that they would be there, but to do so would open the door to a lot of things that “make sense” in some people’s minds but not to others.  So for now...... 

    I'll make you a green one!!!!! Dying to!

    Ah yeah that'd be totally fine. :D
    Tagging in @Angelus who made several of the green ponchos, I don't suppose you could give any pointers on water sheeting fabrics here?
    I guess the trick, as with everything line officer, is matching those shades of green/olive/feldgrau. :S

    I have a ton of an army surplus waterproof material in the right color.
