Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I like it. I do think it silly, though, to carry over the detail of the screws that used to hold on the ear caps.

Could it be this is an unfinished helmet and there are more details to be added?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

So is Han going to be Mal's dad? Looks a little to Firefly to me.

Firefly doesn't have a patent on dusters. Personally, I think it's more inspired by Endor Han and Deckard from Blade Runner.

As for the lens flares... STAHP



The internet drove that one into the ground faster than a family guy bit...

There's one major beautiful thing about these helmets... they are not CGI !!!

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

And none of them had the pic before I posted it here. Check out the time index on the site you linked vs. my posting. Mine was first....AND I cropped the pic before posting it, they are all using my cropped pic.

ALL of them are using the pic I posted here.

BTW, I don't care about being first, I just don't want you thinking I stole the pic and was then taking credit.

You may not care about being first, but THANK YOU for sharing it here!

And with a one word post, Art will never have an empty PM box again !

"What do you know, what have you heard man?!?!?"

LOL!!!

The design is growing on me ...

I'm glad they didn't take the originals and sanitize them... I will still argue that that would be horrible...

I still want to see a few OT wonky suits if not just in the background as Easter eggs... But only in their original glory.

Nope...

Han in a long brown duster with a gun on each hip, **** yeah!

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Avatar was a mediocre movie at best. This is Star Wars. If this is a good movie and it doesn't outdo Avatar I'll leave the planet.

I'll just remind you that the same exact thing was being said about Titanic and Episode 1.

It's not unprecedented to see him in a long coat in star wars.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

If these sketches of Solo are EP VII related/confirmed... makes me wonder if they are headed back to Hoth or another ice world? Interesting...

There are two ways of doing that, just the OT suits but not necessarily wonky, one is to feature them being used by very low end, cannon fodder type troops or a few more backwater units because the Empire only fairly recently started using the new armor and hasn't had the time and/or money to issue them out to all of their troops yet. The other way would be to feature recruits using them in a boot camp type sequence, it would be believable because this what the US military (at least the Marine Corps) does, old and worn out flak jackets and helmets get pushed down for use in the recruit depots for use in basis training; once they graduate and get to their actual units they'll get issued newer stuff.

Of course, like most things - take it with a grain of salt. This does sound worse than that new lid looks (sorry - they just look too sleek and too modern to my eyes).

This isn't the spoiler - which isn't really new, just my two cents....

Spoiler

I do dislike the idea of flashbacks in Star Wars. They've never done that in this series and I just don't feel like it belongs.

The finding of Luke's hand and/or lightsaber is just the silliest thing - I hope this isn't true.

Have been told that the hand story has been discounted already but too early to know anything for certain. That would be a HORRIBLE story line.

Very horrible... but LR goes out of its way to express that it may just be Luke's lightsaber... and possibly not his hand.

Anyway you look at it, there's just too many leaps of faith if it is true... so I'm hoping it's not true.

More new stuff here...

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I guess my question is... are these Stormtroopers good guys or bad guys?

Bad. They are still the Empire.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

So how many helmets are in that Pic 6?

Betcha there isn't.....

Well then this aughta get you.... This is a real Stormtrooper for Episode 7.

Since a different pic was already leaked, my insider friend is letting me leak just this one. See the difference?

Now then, are there any doubts that I have seen the other troopers and Solo's wardrobe? (and other cool things)

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I will say that so far I am loving these new helmets, but I really want to see it from a front on view. Only one vocoder is certainly going to make it a little wonky looking. But that's just me--my first thought is how much I hate wonkiness, but it always seems to grow on me. Heck, originally it took me awhile to get used to mismatched knees on storntroopers, and I will be the first to say that waaaaay back in '77, before the movie came out, when I first saw a picture of the Falcon, I thought it was horrible looking. So lopsided. Of course that feeling soon vanished.

I'm really anxious to see the full armor. But so far I am loving this helmet!!!!!

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

The helmet does the trick for me. There's no way I could have seen this anywhere else without the headlines and NOT know immediately it was a stormtrooper. I'd say it's home run.
