Weaponry Deployment Standards

[Peregrinus]

Okay, for ANH I know the MG-34 is an option. Is the SE-14R from the ESB promo shots (and its holster) accepted?Would this be in addition to an E-11 holster on the right, or replacing the E-11 entirely?

 

I also remember Lucasfilm artwork of a running Stormtrooper with what is identified as a heavy blaster rifle carried in both hands that looks like neither an E-11 with the stock unfolded or an MG-34. I remember it having a DL- number but can't remember what that number was. And no, I'm not thinking of the DLT-19. My scanner isn't hooked up right now or I'd post it.

The SE-14R is (sadly) considered an EU piece as it does not actually appear in the films in the hands of a TK, despite it showing up in countless promotional materials and being shown on many other things (posters, products, etc).

 

It's a shame as I love my SE-14R!

The only official clean TK short weapon that is screen accurate is the E-11 for all three movies. The only time an MG is used is when Chewie is escorted in the death star and no pauldron.

 

From a FISD deployment perspective the E-11 is the only approved weapon with specific different details for ANH, ESB and ROTJ.

The MG was also used by a TK searching the Falcon.

[Daetrin[Admin]]

True, but since not all troopers had one it's not a requirement and why it's an allowable, canon, approved option.

 

Since this detachment focuses on canon stormtroopers, nothing EU is allowed in the deployment standards.

I know about those standards. I understand the need to limit things. I was mainly asking after how far canon extends in this sense. LFL production/promo art, publicity photos, cut scenes... Those I think should be included if they are commonly recognized by the general public. I mean, the SE-14R is used for one of the Stormtrooper standees, fer cryin' out loud. *heh*

For our purposes, canon = seen on film.

[Peregrinus]

It shall be as you say. I'll carry my SE-14R in a shoulder rig attached to my extra -- non-canon -- Trooper breastplate. I wanted clarification, and I got it. Thanks.

"Film Canon" = official stuff in the movie

"Expanded Universe Canon" = official stuff not in the movie

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Got any pix of your SE-14R rig? I was thinking of doing a chest holster for mine also to wear at non-canon events.
