Lichtbringer Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 We could just all agree not to make this into a costume and pretend it's all ANH instead. Less work. Less crappy looking troopers. Less crappy is only possible if all existing armor is heaviliy sanitized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Less crappy is only possible if all existing armor is heaviliy sanitized. Aside from the obvious "that's your opinion" counter point... there are more ways things can look crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 They even stuffed with the thermal Det, what is the practical change for range of movement with that. I am super excited for the movie, but at the same time disappointed that they are not utilising a more original form of the TK armour. End of the day, it's still Star Wars and we all love that.

But I don't spend 90% of my time on this forum complaining about how bad the original suits look. And no, I don't spend that much time complaining about the new ones either. I have staff assignments to fulfill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Can you please stop saying the OT armor is fully restricting your movements? lol You're kidding right? Germain can you please show us any OT movie scenes where the TKs are running full sprint like we witnessed in VII, or where they're comfortably sitting around enjoying a cup of tea. My garrison has quite a few very well built Centurions I know cannot sit in a car like I can. I'm flexible, it's the only reason I can pull it off even at my age, not because of how well built my armor is. Do most of these guys look non restricted? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 There's enough OT aspects for me... Maybe the TKs we see in the trailer are some other kind of detachment, with slightly different uniform... Just like real armies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well at least that image proves you can sit in down armour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have staff assignments to fulfill.On these posts you have been nothing but negative towards the new armour...All I'm saying and trying to get across is a) it's early days and we've only seen 6 seconds on screen time for TK's negativity causes division and I may be relatively new here but as far as I've seen division is not what this place is about that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Yep, remove the hand from the neck, put the helmets on, and they'll look non restricted stormtroopers... By the way Tony, have you seen any FOTK sat in the episode VII? About running in the armor, I suggest watching again ANH and the chasings in the Death Star corridors.

That's not running that's shuffling lol... And as regards sitting, yes you can do that no problem, but the film had a team of people making makeshift repairs to the armour constantly, you see evidence of that all over... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I though we were talking about OT TK movement. Looking like a well oiled tin man isn't a good example non-restrictive movement, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWOL Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The guy on the right sat down behind the standing guy, is most of his cod missing/snapped off?

Murray1134[501st] Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Love the detailed breakdown of the new armor. Kinda wishing I hadn't retired my FX suit now Looking at the suits I really can't shake the "This is an FX suit with an upgraded helmet" look. They still look like TKs, just not exactly like the ANH TKs. I do agree with what was said before about these might be modified suits for stunts since most of the TKs in action are getting blown up or thrown around, or the suits may have been changed to better accommodate stunt rigs and harnesses for the action scenes. It's gonna be hard to modify any of the current suits out there right now to match this look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The guy on the right sat down behind the standing guy, is most of his cod missing/snapped off? No. He is holding his helmet with his blaster resting inside it like the guy next to him, if you look closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 All I know it looks like the little critter on the right eyeing the guys blaster is probably thinking "My Precious!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The trooper on the lower left has the look of "You want us to do what with our blasters?" Top center three "Hey check it out there's Carrie" We can do this all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The new armor doesn't bother me that much. Yes, the detailed builders like us notice the differences but the general public won't.<br><br> I am surprised they didn't reach out to the costuming fan community like they did for TFA and the R2 builders. They could have had access to more accurate builds and feedback.<br><br> As someone who has been on TV and commercial sets ADing shoots, I can understand them wanting to make things more comfortable, faster costume changes, safety for stunts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoSc0ut[TK] Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I can't believe that, even though the TD was mentioned, no one said anything about the sniper knee being a TK sniper knee! Of course that assumes the ones with pauldrons are TD's. ----------- Jim M.
