I just noticed that the files I posted say they've got three pages... they've actually got six pages each (except ROTJ, which only has two pages).  The first half of each file is the quotes, in order, by scene.  The second half is all the lines, sorted alphabetically by character.
 
Amusingly, when sorted like that, Tarkin's last words are "This had better work."  Is that the Imperial Officer equivalent of "Here, hold my beer"?

So.. for my 100th post within the forum, I thought that I would share a tip that I received from a Cobbler to stretch my boots and fix a part of the leather that was curling inwards.
 
He told me to soak the leather with Rubbing Alcohol and then use something like newspaper or in my case my feet to stretch the boots out. I ended up soaking the inside of the boot with the rubbing alcohol in the areas that need to be stretched and then walked around the house for a few hours. I was amazed how fast it worked and comfortable the boots are now.
 
I did have to shine/buff the boots again, but I consider that fun.

I'd recommend keeping an eye on WW's FB page. He tends to keep it the most current with updates on restocks.
 
 

Lets see... since as an Admiral I also double as an Imperial Support Crew (handler) for our bucketed friends. When with Vader and it's time for a break, I walk away, come back 2 min later... "Lord Vader, the Emperor commands you to make contact with him..."

To children: "Do you like school? The Emperor needs smart cadets. Do you want to fly tie fighters? Or storm rebel bases as a storm trooper? Or crush rebellion will driving AT-ATs? Or would you rather command all of that and more as an Imperial Officer?"

When one of our Mandelorean Mercs comes by, "Bounty hunters, we don't need their scum. Those rebels won't escape us."

Other misc phrases:
We have a visitor.

Good. Our first catch of the day.

Track them! They may come round for another pass.

Alert Command. Deploy the fleet.

We have thousands of probes searching the Galaxy.

Take this... thing, to the detention block.

I have a good crew, a bunch of rowdy TKs, and a Vader with a quick wit, so impromptu happens with ease.


Thanks!

Well kman, while I sit here waiting for my Cosplaysky uniform to arrive, I've taken it upon myself to help you out with that.
 
I found a script online, and copied all the lines over, then vetted them against my copy of ANH.  All I've got on my computer is the "Greedo shoots first" version... mea culpla... but I don't think any of the officers' lines were affected.
 
I'm working on ESB, but my roommate's ordered pizza, and that's distracting me.
 
Of course, this intel is unclassified, and is available to all Officer ranks...

One of these days I need to sit down with a script and copy down every line said by any officer...

"If once you start down the droid path, forever it will dominate your destiny, consume you it will..."

Ive now adopted the Tagge folded arms stern look pose  

I march / walk like Lieutenant Sheckil (Jeremy Bulloch) - hands clasped behind my back, chin slightly up. I mentioned this to Mr Bulloch and he said he studied the military and copied it, I believe from the Polish.
 
When standing my feet about a foot apart, hands behind my back, a look of superiority (e.g. Veers, Piett).
 
It's very easy to 'over the egg' the look and poses and look more like a pantomime (or cartoon) villain, or have your legs too and look like you're trying to do the box splits.
 
For me I think of an Officer as quiet contempt - a Roman General, stiff upper lip English Officer - Michael Caine in Zulu / The eagle has landed. Some shout, which is good and the public react well to it, but it doesn't suit me as a person.
 
Take what you see in the film and put your spin on it.

Parade rest, stern or angry look on your face.  The pointing finger or raised fist (not a "hammer blow" fist, more "shaking my fist in anger" fist) are excellent alternatives.
 
It's funny how much you miss the options for "things to do with your hands" granted by the E11, when your normal costumes is Stormtrooper armor, LOL!

The most crisp officer for me was General Veers from stance to movement and he gave a form of salute to Vader with his head bow, Motti on the other hand to me was a shambles slouching, hands in pockets etc so i try to emulate Veers poses posture movement

I either do the fist pose like this one, pointing forward, or hands behind my back. One side effect that my wife caught me in last week is that I've started unconsciously defaulting to these poses for any pictures. Not always the best look for your happy family pic!

Look up WWII photos of German and British military officers. Look at their stance and bearing. That is going to be as close as you can get to looking the way they did on screen.

Always like a bit of pointing myself...

I've been doing the folded arms thing since I got promoted to Sergeant back in 1984. Some habits are very hard to break.

I some times carry my gloves in my hand

I usually put them behind by back at parade rest. 

Some times I hold my gloves in my hand, I've seen this done by military personnel before, though it is not done in the film. 

I will be surprised if i dont lol

I'm sure I'll get a box of coal & a horse head for all the grief I've given them. 

Not 501st approvable, they going to build bridge crew or mechanical for that. 

The Emperor give me the head of a special force of Mandalorian women. (my wife and my two daughters)
