The Last Jedi First Order Stormtroopers

Not sure if there's a thread for this, but Rian Johnson posted this picture on his Tumblr (source):



Looks like they've changed the frown slightly.

Sweet, yep, it looks sharper and meaner. I like it. Been waiting to see how different these guys would be.

It kinda looks like they made the codpiece smaller, comparing it to The Force Awakens' version (source):

The new helmets look much better.

 

[Strongbow]

I feel like a dolt. I can't really see a difference. But I love the FO TK's.

 

[Halliwax]

i have to agree the helmets look much better, much flatter in the front. less duck like.

 

[russellsch]

Well said, Halliwax. Much less Donald Duck like. I like it.

 

[Stormie1977]

Definitely looks meaner.

 

[Sano]

So let the prop building begin

 

[Stormy320]

Very cool. Well done.

 

[Blue Leader]

Did that one trooper hit his head on the bottom of a door? Is that why his helmet is coming off? Gotta keep that tradition going.

I do not like the new style of those helmets.. It seems that the faces were a bit crushed with thinner strokes of mouth

Looks like the earliest fan made don't you think?

Are you guys seeing something I'm not? I've pulled up many TFA reference pictures, and to me it looks exactly the same. If I were to bet money, I'd say there are no changes, and you guys are just seeing a slightly different angle.
Please show me if I'm mistaken!!!

I'm surprised some aren't noticing the difference.

I saw the picture before reading the article and the helmet was registered instantly as different.

The mouth area being what stuck out. Or in this case, didn't stick out.

The mouth is thinner. Steeper. Sharper without the slight curve. Less mocking looking, and more menacing alien looking- like the original STs. And the angle is hard to tell, but the chin seems less pronounced. Like the nose is pinched pulled out further from the brow, dropping steeply down to the chin.

But I could be imagining all that and the article just validated what I'm seeing doesn't mean it's real. :wacko

I think you are right, but to me, the differences subtle. Imma bet that 99% of the audience will never notice a difference.

I agree that no one aside from people like us will notice. But that's the great thing about Disney. They've got the people who care to put in stuff like that for people like us. Make a fun movie for everyone, and give us that little bit extra. I think it's awesome.

I think you're all deluding yourselves, like the followers of the Emperors new clothes! [emoji38]
I've compared numerous photos and I still think it's the same design.
Please show me evidence I am wrong, as I can't see it!!!

There's evidence farther up. The difference is there.

 

[Mean Obiwan]

I see a difference. The ends of the frown seem more tapered almost ending in a point, but not quite.
And the front of the face does seen a. It more pinched.
