    We have submitted to the LMO for review.  Elia Kane is most definitely NOT a good guy.

     

    So have we submitted for Ella Kane specifically as a named character or the generic officer?  Because they aren't the same thing.  Ella Kane is essentially an Imperial spy wearing a New Republic Uniform.

    That's likely, I guess. Yet, it always puzzled me that the mud trooper went to that detachment. They are more grunt troops, land based version of the Navy Trooper, than special forces. Ah well.

    Before Solo came out someone created a crl for an "Imperial Army" trooper from one of the comics.  The IOC command team at the time made it clear they weren't interested so Spec Ops offered them a home. Then when Solo came out the Mudtroopers were a branch of the Imperial Army, so they followed the other Army crls into spec ops.

    Indeed, Really interested by those riot control folks with shields. I wonder if they would come to ICO.

    They look to be very closely based on the Mudtrooper.  If so I'd expect them to sit with Spec Ops.

     None of us mind if something happens we don't like as long as it is fairly metered out.  

    Thank you, very well said.  I think this is the crux of what is upsetting many of us here.  It isn’t  that a decision has been made that we don’t like, it is that the reason given is something that is frequently unevenly applied.

  5. I've not been following this buid in close detail, can I just summarise why it was rejected to to see if I'm understanding it correctly?  The crl was rejected by the LMO because:

     

    - The LMO team should have been involved sooner.

    Except that the LMOs were involved from the very beginning of this thread and have commented consistently.

     

    - The costume should not have been made before the LMO team had given the crl a green light.

    Except that whenever new crls have been asked about in the past the standard response from Kris (an LMO) has always been "someone has to build it first".

     

    - There aren't clear reference shots of the back

    Except this has never been a requirement that is applied evenly and, according to the actual wording (shared above), is not so much a requirement as a preference.

     

    Anything else I'm missing?

    I think those are all custom.  CosplaySky makes one, but I don't know how good it is.

    - Jeff

    If I remember correctly the tunic and pants from cosplaysky are ok, the belt is a standard Officer belt with a “rebels style” buckle.  The boots are black Chelsea boots.  The shin armour and the gauntlets are something I don’t know about.  I’ve read they can be made from foam or pvc pipe, but never seen pics illustrating how.....

  7. Interesting rumour circulating about this character.  Apparently Padme and Ashoka were due to be added to BF2, but time ran out.  So they took Padme’s face and Ahsoka’s animation for drawing her lightsabers and stuck them on a brand new character.

    sounds a bit far fetched to me?

  8. Looking at the tunic again, it doesn’t look the same as Kallus’.  The lighter grey panel in the front comes up to the collar and across the shoulders for Kallus, but in Kris’ screen shots above you can see it stops somewhere under the chest plate.

    Before we go further however the LMO's will have to weigh in on if this will be accepted as of now it doesn't meet the requirements listed for Video game characters.

     

     

    It would be a real shame if the LMO rejects this, it is from a Canon source with plenty of reference material.

    Meanwhile other detachments get crls approved that are based on a 3.5" action figure.......

    What does CosplaySky sell that look anything like Kallus' tunic?  He doesn't use a standard officer's tunic.  You'd have to modify one pretty seriously to get close to his.  Easier to start from scratch, I'd think.  (from CRL)

    Well cosplaysky's website is under maintenance at the moment, but this (from one of their pseudonyms) is what I am referring to.

    Obviously the "armour" is no good but the uniform is.
