tckoolaid125[TK] Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 What are the different color of pauldrons offered and what does each color represent? Thanks. Tyler TK-51325 Quote
Captain_Wordo[TK] Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 So far as I know there are 3 colours and ranks: orange - captain white - sergeant black - private Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 Well, in ret con they have meaning. Back in '77 it was more like "OK, I need 2 oranges for this shot along with a black and 3 whites. No, move the other orange in front so it looks more striking". "What do they mean? Who cares, it's a sci fi flick." Funny that since then, movies really try to explain things more. Back then it was more "that looks cool, use it in a shot". 2 Quote
aliens8us Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 While watching Star Wars Rebels, there are Stormtroopers with black pauldrons that are General/Moff Tarkin's personal Stormtrooper security. And I'm pretty sure that he doesn't want to be surrounded by low grade Privates Quote
charlesnarles Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 Lots of different colors mean different things at different points in SW history. Orange, white and black are [some of] the OT (canon) Imperial Navy ranks and mean what they've said above. There's also all kinds of EU guys in armor or cloth uniforms with pauldrons, most likely picked for aesthetic reasons by the artist(s) vs the individual soldiers' rank. Lucas would hate to see anyone but sandies wearing them but who cares, right? Quote
Revyl Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 Once my Anovos kit arrives, I might get a white pauldron and modify to make a TK medic (non canon) Quote
