Starting this thread for the discussion of the Non Saga Imperial Officer Uniform.  The Detachment used to call this "line" officers for the original trilogy, we will no longer use fan created names when naming costumes going forward.

A few guiding principles for this costume and thread (these are not binding but they will be discussed):
 
It will contain details and options that we see from the year 2015 on.  The Original Trilogy Line Officer will be not be touched in anyway unless some special information comes to light from those films. It will incorporate options that we have seen on screen from the new Non Saga anthology movies, television shows and other licensed material (straight pants and Chelsea boots versus, breeches and boots, optional white shirt and hatless officers). The construction will follow how the costumes are made for these productions (Modesty tabs will be optional but recommended, expansion joints in boots as seen on screen, etc) Accessories if seen used in licensed LFL material will be added to the CRL.  in many cases, the accessories are already existing in other CRLs and can be quickly added when verified. Permission for face characters to be allowed will be secured at level one, provided licensed LFL material can be referenced.   
How we will do things is up for debate.  What is not for debate is finding a way for members to be able to create the licensed LFL characters they have seen in media.   We will find a way and I think this is the best platform to do so while preserving what has come before and we do not want undone.  This is the core costume for going forward.   Having this move forward will give us the agility to respond when we see them used in future Disney LFL productions.

We will be soliciting models from the membership.  A number already have uniforms mostly assembled or ready to go.  We expect at least two variants for the uniform with different potential face characters to be displayed.  If you would like to participate, let us know.

We also see a “staff officer” piloting a Gozanti.  Get ready for the JRS to try and poach   

I just wanted to share a personal milestone I reached yesterday.  This is a pic from my 169th IOC troop, but it also happened to be my 250th 501st troop!
 
I started this journey back in 2011. I have met so many of great 501st members, as well as many from other Star Wars costuming groups.  I've seen so many smiling faces as we've shared our Love of Star Wars and desire for helping Charity.  I've always tried to remember that we are doing this for that reason and tried to be as diplomatic as possible with everyone I've worked with.  Sometimes, things get misinterpreted or misunderstood and opinions have differed, but I Love and respect everyone that has joined me on this journey that we all are following through this Galaxy, far, far away.
 

Hello all!
 
Jeff advised to stick a thread up regarding a proposed change to the Imperial Navy Trooper: Dress Uniform CRL so as to get some eyeballs on it.
 
Currently, the CRL only lists holsters for Version One (ANH) and Version Two (ESB):

 
My proposal is to add another holster entry below "Holster, Versions One and Two" and above "DH-17 blaster", which would look like the following:
 
Image (example):

Holster, Version Four
Made of black leather or leather-like material.  
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
Holster is made of leather. Holster is worn on the right-hand side of the belt. Holster is affixed via a single solid loop over the belt. No buttons/snaps/rivets/screws are used. Joining edges are stitched only. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
Holster is made from a single piece of continuous leather. Holsters made from 2 or more joined pieces are not acceptable. The outer surface of the holster is smooth black with a subdued shine. The inside of the holster is a raw black leather texture.  
 
 
Image credit to @ID6187. I just removed the background in Photoshop and rotated it to match the CRL style.
Myself and BJ both (among others I believe) have Philo's holsters and they're dead on to the reference images:


 
My holster from Philo with blaster to see the finished look:

 
Let me know what you think

Follow them at a distance, talking into a comlink and request reinforcements and also report their every move lol.

I recently completed the following matrix to more clearly show what components are required with each variation.  Hope this helps!

Hello fellow officers,
 
Several months ago, I sent a challenge to a fellow from the Spanish Garrison. If he dyed his beard of pink, I will let him to command the escort of Ambassador Droid R2-KT in the Spanish Garrison's Training Day.
 
Our Training Day was celebrated last wekend in Sevilla and... oh well, a pic is better than a thousand words...
 

 
He's ID-22967 and we will love to see our proud officer with ambassador droid R2-KT on IOC Facebook page if you find it appropiate. We fight against cancer!

I got called Space Force by a cop at DragonCon.

I’ve actually been called a Rebel spy. So, does that mean I have to fax all this intel to Mon Mothma? 
 
Because I’m not her biggest fan...

I’ve got a pair of Soviet boots and they are flat topped. The “English riding boots” line in the CRL is the only thing holding me back from L3 costume-wise. Anyways, they feel amazing and fit my calf even with my jodhpurs crammed in!

Thanks for the insight and help!

So i did not expect this to happen... 
 
strange to be so excited for an animated show to return, even if it's only 12 episodes (announced)

Hi all,
 
My wife and my two daughters are 501st members! And my wife became the 100th member of our garrison! 
IC 16777 / IC 14914 / IC 66039
 
 

Truthfully what I've seen above is one thing that keeps me away from this forum. You only added evidence to his end statement there in that incoherent rant. I've been on this forum for quite some time and the animosity presented in these blaster waving contests is pushing people away. Information is presented and if it doesn't line up with expectations it is dismissed and deemed contradicting. Where is the information to actually help build these things correctly or start trying to?
 
From what's been presented it seems rather simple to relate the officer's on the yacht to Dillon's rank system and our straight pants officers from ANH. We have this lined up for us far easier than we did even from when I started this process in '09. We have a wealth of information and need to take advantage of it.

Wanted to share some pics of the ladies of the Star Garrison and Kessel Base from Comicpalooza last weekend  
 
Someone had an idea to do a group photo of "pinup style" costumes- started out as officers but as you can see also included some Imperial and Rebel variations, and even got Younglings involved.
 
 
Me with my rebel scum husband (NOT Rebel Legion approved- work in progress!)
 
 
With a couple of good friends who have actual officer costumes in work, so getting some use out of their accessories in the interim
 
 

I'm chuckling to myself because the flight suit I bought a month ago for $150 is now $165.  I'm pretty sure it was $150 yesterday too.

Had the opportunity to attend the Solo: A Star Wars Story Hollywood World Premiere on May 10th. Here's a few pictures.
 




 
On a side note..... new ventures await as far as Officer stuff goes .
 
 

With the aid of two of my Deathtrooper Minions, we once again defended the Rebel invaders at Scarif.
 


 
We were Victorious!!

Yep. The only real difference difference between a TIE Reserve Pilot and Bridge Crew is that the Bridge Crew can carry belt boxes while the TIE Reserve Pilot can carry a Blaster such as the DL-44 and the Reserve Pilot has to have the Comm Pad while with Bridge Crew, it's optional.
 
But yeah, if you have the jumpsuit, might as well rock both or all three if you have the TIE Pilot ready to go.

So nothing like TLJ then
