Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Pre-release)

Take a look at this. FBpic.jpg
 
It looks like the left cheek is silver instead of gunmetal. Otherwise looking good. Can't tell, I'm going to assume the inner robe is over the shoulder armor...
 
Well from the new pic, it would appear the robes are definitely under the armor. An odd oversight considering the smaller details they got right.
 
I don't know why they are showing the Stormtroopers as one height unless they are still clones... ;) I also wonder why the Death Troopers are taller than Stormtroopers. I guess Imperial intel agents wouldn't have to be Stormtroopers, but again it's weird they show them as one height.
 
Maybe they mean general height? Like minimum or average?

Death Troopers are Krennic's personal guards and there is only around 6 of them.

Remember reading somewhere that makers were going for a retro Ralph McQuarrie tall skinny trooper look.

From a real life into the movie setting, look at all totalitarian regimes i.e. elite SS to regular Wehrmacht.
Not only have to be bada$$, but also look bada$$.
Sure the look feeds the Director's ego.
Who else is wearing white & a cape?

Can't wait for the next trailer....

You know, I really liked the new first order troopers. But over time I realized there was something about their torso design that made them look a lot chunkier than the OT troopers (especially finn)

Which is too bad. There was something about that old design that made them look like sad skeletons

I too thought they were frumpy looking. I think it's because there isn't the strip on the thigh and leg pieces to break up the curve of the armor.
 
It's that the front and back clamshell together, instead of there being gaps. The exposed areas of black undersuit break up the look and have a slimming effect.
 
I thought their chest armor just didn't have enough detail in it. If they added pecs somewhat like the OT version, it would have looked better. The helmet was almost there, but then they didn't put any detail on the front. So far the Stormtroopers in this look a lot more like they belong.
