  1. Is it canon for TK commanders in Legends to have lightsabers?
  2. Little update: We are currently applying Stormtrooper audio to the rough cut, and then it's on to finalizing the fine details in time for the Weekend! We have most of it applied, waiting on one of the voice actors, and some last minute lines from the other main characters, along with backround voices to be sent in. But we are staying on target! Also, the trailer really doesn't show all of it, but this film is very much war themed. This is the dirty battlefront side of the war, specifically from the Stormtrooper's point of view. Think of the movie "Iwo Jima" by Clint Eastwood, where it's from the perspective of the Japanese, showing even the good side of them.
  3. You're correct Eric, they have done amazing work all over Thank you so much for the high compliments! I hope this film meets expectations, got the rough cut of it done today, and now it's on to perfecting and adding
  4. Also as a final note, there are lovely well made fan films on Youtube made by others that inspired me to do this one. Notable films are: Darth Maul: Apprentice, upcoming fan film "Oddyssy," and Scout: A Star Wars Story.
  5. Thanks man! Haha, I wish I could film outside of the woods, I like to think of the lack of redwoods as another part of Endor near one of the redwood populated forests. I like to think conditions and altitude have to do with the lack of tall trees in that sector Yes and no. This is my first fictional film that I've made, all my other films/videos are documentaries and such. They usually are Religious themed, but my major documentary that went on EWTN in January is on the channel as well
  6. Hey guys! My R1TK is officially approved! Whoop whoop! In other news however, I made this fan film with members of the 501st, family, and friends (poor family...) and below is a trailer for it. The final film will be posted on June 10th, so keep an eye out for that. I'll be coming up with a Field Report soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=443fj5XUrRQ&feature=youtu.be
  7. I think what they're meaning is that they want R1TK's with the packs. No offense, you guys look great! With the way the 501st works right now, mixed media isn't approvable at the moment.
  8. Much better picture of the baton.
  9. Here's a pic of my TK. -----------------
  10. Pack for free? My Standard TK is almost done It's just at Basic approval, not Centurion...
  11. No, it's not just you. The links are broken because they're copied and pasted. Dargh!
  12. Here's a better pic.
  13. Do we want to add the 2 tabs on the kidney plate bottom that's supposed to go underneath the belt as level 2 or 3?
  14. Will do! Sorry, I've been incredibly lazy xD For Basic approval: -Is made up of 3 sections that extend outward when in use. When not in use, it appears as 1 cylinder. -Is black. -Hangs off of the left rear belt of the TK, on a black piece that acts as a holster. It will be attached at 2 points on the holster: one at the top, and one at the bottom. This avoids the baton swinging. -The holster can be made from any of the following: Leather, rubber, or leather-like material. Unfortunately there just isn't much to base the info off of. Only 2 shots in the film, and the batons in Battlefront 2 that we can assume comes from the same thing. Below is the pic I feel best represents the Battlefront 2 model, that can be used as the CRL pic unless better reference comes out in the future. Oddly enough, in Battlefront 2 on Gamers Little Playground Cutscenes video (updated), in the intro Iden Versio knocks out a rebel with one she pulls out of nowhere.
  15. So in regards to the strapping conversation, I just stumbled across this pic on the internet. Look at the backarmor behind the shoulder bell. Yup, there's a strap and buckle sticking out from the abdomen. Fascinating. Ukswrath, what are your thoughts? It looks to me like in the back they did the criss-cross pattern with the overalls, and that it starts at the top of the sides.
  16. In regards to sitting, I think I have an idea on how that can be done more freely. The belt tends to stay stationary, so there's no room for movement when you articulate. So I think what can be done is if you cut some slots in the belt section of the abdomen, and slip some eleastic or nylon strapping through that and connect it to the belt from behind, it can move forward if you bend down. I have yet to try this, but if it helps you I'd say give it a go and let us now how it works
  17. Yes, but outside of R1 all TK's have them generically (outside of Rebels), so it's a canon thing.
  18. The baton is still the wrong image and still the wrong description There's no rectangular area, and is very likely a regular riot baton.
  19. I don't have a FOTK, but since this forum is much more active in Jimmorriqui builds, I figured I'd ask here. In all of you Jim FOTK's, how strong is the flexible fiberglass despite hair-wide stress cracks? How long has your armor lasted without repairs? Am I worrying over nothing?
  20. I for one vote for dirty TK option. Not all TK's are Death Star pristine. I have been receiving a lot of comments about how the dirty TK I have looks more realistic in comparison to the clean OTTK's next to me in the pictures we get from troops.
  21. Oh it doesn't have to be included. Imho I feel it is what gives the helmet it's character, but it could be just me. This is more for people in the future when they make helmets.
  22. Here's a better diagram of convexity versus concave.
  23. Apologies. The part of the eye you're supposed to be looking at is the bottom. Specifically on the left eye that is outlined in the photos above. The biggest indication for this is the outline on the Black Series pic, it's only on the left eye.
