Is it me or do those Stormtroopers have a few extra lines on their armor that aren't on the physical armor used in the movies?
Its a stylized cartoon which has been stated from the beginning. It's not meant to be photorealistic or accurate.

I realize that, but it just looks to me like they added some extra lines that I don't recall seeing on the physical armor. It's not that I'm criticizing, I'm far from a purist but I have to wonder why they did it since if those lines are actually modeled in as opposed to simply bump or displacement mapped that would have meant more work modeling and more render time down the line too.
So, since Rebels is officially canon and those extra lines on the Stormies are indeed new and something not seen in the OT, then does that make Rebels style Stormtrooper armor acceptable for 501st membership and/or events? I guess at the very least it gives people another choice in Imperial trooper armor; now there's standard Stormtrooper Scout, Snow, Sand , various Clones, and now (maybe) Rebels style Stormtrooper.

Maybe acceptable in an animated category.
Visual details in an animated show are always going to be debatable. For instance, one can argue that the McQuarrie style stubby winged TIEs are that way because they are early versions of those we see in IV-VI. However, I don't think we are suppose to think that yoda's head swelled up and then reduced in size between Ii-III. It is a stylized interpretation.
the same thing goes for trooper armor... Early version? Stylized? A little bit of both?

I think the style looks more fluent than The Clone Wars, though I have to admit that it still has to grow on me.
The armor is still pre Episode 4, so that could be the difference.Personally I like the armor, because it kind of invites the armor building fans out there to be creative.It looks easier to mold, looking at the form.If it's canon, it's approvable.
If you look closely at the New-hope armor, those lines have been overlapped with straps, best example is the shins and thighs, I think it's a brilliant find by Filoni to create some difference .

Love it... going to be lots of fun and something to look forward to each week. Just hearing the OT sound effects makes me a 10 year old kid again!

YEEEESSSSS!
I still really don't like how the faces look so Disney, but MAN the music and sound fx just get me pumped.
I think it's worth noting that Disney did not design these characters, LucasFilm Animation did. The look of this show, as per show runner Dave Filloni, is intentionally not like Clone Wars to differentiate it. This show is also not being creatively controlled by Disney, it's curious why everyone assumes that is the case.
