Maybe change the L1 line as well:
From
There are no stretch panels, buckles, snap tabs, or decoration.
To
There are no stretch panels, snap tabs or decorations, and no buckles, EXCEPT for the optional adjustment strap  matching screen used props

I would hope for a variant instead of the creation of a completely different CRL.  There are numerous differences between the ANH and ESB line officers.  This should be no different.

We had the difficulty of this conversation on colour for Krennic. I think all the screen images are not white as white can be, as most of he time it doesn't look good on screen. However, White is an easy standard to impose. Otherwise you get varying degrees of cream/ivory/off white and it no longer looks uniform.

I think that one change was made, to quote Cari, as a sanity check - Krennic was the ONLY CRL that required Push buttons at ALL, let alone at Level 1.  It caused quite a bit of issues for people who had been told by multiple admins that standard items would stay standard, then boom, it wasn't.
 
The rest of it definitely needs to be fixed, but as most of it is Level 2 and above stuff, it's probably ok to hold off until it all can be rolled into one.

My $0.02

So if I'm reading between the lines (and tell me if I'm out of bounds) - First Order Officers that we could only briefly see but have a good shot of (at least front) in the VD would be back in play?  (For that matter, some of the updates in RO that are in the VD?)

Good point that I hadn't thought of.  Another reason to use Imgur.

Biggest problem with using FB is no one from countries that block FB can see any of your photos.

Granted, I'm not the LMO, Cari is, but from both the scene and the picture in the RO VD, it was a standard Olive tunic and Olive straight pants with shoes/boots (they appear to be Chelseas (sp?), but might not be), so I think in the long run you're going to be good Sean.

If the goal is to not be constantly updating, then what is the policy on piecemeal updating of a CRL? For instance, a number of things have been discussed for changing, but so far, the only the rank bars have been. Should we be working on the entirety or if it gets done first cape, then tunic, etc is that still ok?

Question on this.  We have several discussions going for edits or additions to existing CRL's (Krennic to remove some of the wording that crept in specific to the model's costume and not the screen used prop, ISB due to Rogue One, Navy Trooper due to Rogue One, Bridge Crew due to harder looks at the photographs, etc).  So are you saying you and/or Eric will read these discussions and make decisions outside of DL sign off, or that if/when DL signs off you'll make the decision, or a little from both (you'd read, go to DL, etc for example)?

A good bit of what you are speaking to and/or asking is more the realm of the Lead LMO and the thoughts behind the path he has set out for the team this year.  And I honestly cannot speak to what any previous team has done.  I can say that this year's team is to build CRL's that are as good and as accurate as they can be with the information available at the time.  If/when better information comes, then that is when the update process comes into play.
 

You guys discuss, come to a decision.
Then DL signs off.
Then I and/or Eric review.
--- If we think  changes to the update don't need to be made, we thumb up, and the update can be made
--- If we think changes to the update do need to be made, we discuss with DL.  DL has the option of taking it back to you guys and starting discussion back up, or will make the decision on their own.
 
Make sense?  Supposed to be communal to a certain degree.
 
 

Friendly neighborhood LMO here, posting today about CRL's and You.  What I am about to outline is not a step by step detailed thing, but rather, a high level informational post about CRL's and the path they take throughout their "lives".  What we want and aim for is a set of references a person can use to craft a costume that is as close to screen / reference material as possible.  That is the goal.  We also need to keep consideration of our members in mind.
 
For new CRL's, it goes like this:  a proposal is made by the detachment or member.  If the member is already working with the detachment, great.  If not, they get directed there.  The detachment will provide the LMO with all requested reference material and proposed wording for the proposed new CRL.  The LMO will review on a first pass, saying whether or not a CRL can/should be created.  With that green light, work can forge forward.  Please note, that is just a yes/no on whether or not the CRL can be made.  No review is done on wording at that time.  Once the detachment has finished its wording and collected its pictures, they submit to the LMO.
 
LMO reviews.  LMO Team reviews.  Lead LMO reviews.  At each review period, expect that wording changes will take place.  Expect that new, extra, different photos may be required.  Then Lead LMO sends the finished product back to the DL for a thumbs up.  Then, it gets published and "made green".
 
As for edits and updates to already existing CRL's .... they are done with almost as much multi-person involvement and sanity checking.
Once a detachment (in this case, you folks here) decide that a change should be made, that change gets posted in your designated place.  LMO reviews it.  LMO Team reviews it.  Lead LMO reviews in some cases.  Once the proposed change gets the thumbs up, THEN the change is made in Databank.
 
At no point is anything assured with a proposed new CRL or edit ... until it is actually published.  And it only gets published after multiple reviews.  This has not been, necessarily, how things worked in years past.  And it is, indeed, a tightening up from last year.  This is not in place to be obstructive.  Rather, it is an effort to keep edits sane, transparent, and to keep everyone, including the membership at large, informed.

If this is a new CRL and not an addendum to the current Krennic CRL (which I originally thought Rain Coat and Flashback were going to be), let's not repeat the mistakes we are trying to fix from the current CRL.

I.E. lose the bit about exact measurements on the collar and the number of snaps and buttons to close it - the measurements should be approximate to match the wearer (2 inches on my neck is a WHOLE lot shorter than 2 inches on the neck of a 5'3" person), and the snaps bit was matching the costume of the CRL model, NOT the screen used costume.
 
Other than that, I can't see any of your pictures because Photobucket is trash - might move them to Imgur - but sounds like you're on the right track.

Hi there!
My name is Cari, and I am an LMO this term.  One of six.  My lead is Eric, a.k.a Darth Aloha.  Same guy as last year, yes   He's been stuck in the Land of Crickety Internet for the past couple weeks, so has not had a chance to come here and post, but will soon, I am sure.
 
Each of the LMO's will be repping and caretaking one of several Detachments.  The IOC is one of mine.  *cheer!*
 
The IOC Detachment has a lot on deck this year ... from new builds to current build edits, both major and minor.  Really looking forward to working with you to get these CRL's all shiny and polished. 
 
Good to meet you

I honestly think this is going to have to be a new CRL.  And a discussion between FE and IOC as to if he stays with all CRL's in FE, or the old Thrawn stays in FE and the "new" Thrawn comes to IOC.

....Damn large feet.
I couldn't even get half my foot in there.  And the shafts would be jack boots on me.

Not to mention the half complete Solo belt rigs

I keep flashing back to what, 4 years ago when they announced their Vader, and the ONLY reason I didn't pull the trigger is I was outside their height suggestions - VERY glad I didn't, having almost $3k tied up for 3+ years with nothing to show for it would have sent me postal.
