DirectorIsard

I agree that changing the title to Crew Member is in better keeping with the changes incorporating the new CRL photos that are coming out as well.

Good evening to all!
 
Sorry for the delay but there has been a lot of interesting discussing on the matter.
The LMO team has come to the decision that the character seems more of the artist's interpretation of the ISB uniform in stead of a totally new cotume. Also there is not enough reference for the back, and the collar that changes from panel to panel. So an entirely new CRL cannot be made.
 
- BUT -
 
The team is also discussing the possibility of adding new options in the already existing ISB officer CRL, so the costumer could apply for a "Ysanne Isard version".
In a few days I will come back with the team's decision.
 
Thank you for your patience,
 
Liam
 
 

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.

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.

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

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?

well that is nonsense, most of the comics and other non fan art has both configurations, the CRL should be amended to reflect that.
