Hated the new tk helmet when I first saw it and still do, looks like a duck
Love it. Never cared to do a Stormtrooper build before and now I can't wait. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose...
These Are GReat.......Love The new Star Wars

ATI is now supplying the empire. They're doomed.
I've isolated the new tie fighter pilot and removed all the green and red reflections to get a better look at the design:

That's a great observation. I just thought Pilot was straight up fugly.
So Donald Duck is a Stormtrooper, Mickey Mouse is a TIE Pilot and Kylo Ren reminds me of that Goofy Imperial spy from ANH.
Hit the Disney Trinity jackpot.
And that New Stormtrooper in the crowd with harness and pack is your ISIS-****** suicide bomber trooper. Dumb recruit promised reward after death.
All jokes aside, really looking forward to the movies. Think JJ will do a good job.
Hopefully all trooper outfits will change as the story goes just like the Prequels.

Those weird ear things look like a headrest to me, not part of the helmet.
^ Agreed
Well, I'm not really a Star Wars fan and certainly never wanted Storm trooper armor, but I definately want at least a helmet now. I just think it looks slick and cool, just produce a helmet and I'm there, assuming I can wear my glasses under it. Maybe it's time to get some contacts...
A couple of set pics in here: http://www.rebelscum.com/2015-Celeb...ation-Anaheim-2015-The-Force-Awakens-Trailer/
I think with the TIE Pilot they might have been going for a HUD look like the F-35 helmet.

Yeah, I like that detail. A lot of people equate this to sandtroopers but as I recall they were originally just meant to denote elite troopers in general.
There's a lot to see in that pic. You can see a newer iteration of the Imperial "gunner" with their jawbone helmets. TIE pilots can be seen standing by their fighters. Snowtroopers can be seen standing in the front row of the massed troopers. Flametroopers seem to be interspersed throughout the crowd. From what I can tell, flametrooper and the new snowtrooper helmets are identical with the latter featuring an added "cold weather" face plate and a skirted dome added to the base helmet. I am surprised we don't see any scouts represented here.
Watched the teaser again, and a gif of the TIE Pilot looped. Those "ears" are part of the helmet and move with it, not a headrest.
