When viewed from the left side it’s a PFC. Warrant OfficerPFCNot that the ranks matter, but I’m curious if they did the same for the films or if they maintained the rank on both sides.

As far as I am aware there is no official information available in regards to rank/stripes from the movies. "This from our from our forum founder from back in 2006 The idea that they're rank stripes is something that post-dates the movies - at the time they were being filmed they weren't indicative of anything. Heck, even the number of tube stripes is not consistent from trooper to trooper. " "To be honest, I don't think the number has ever been correlated, nor officially established that this is what they are." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun[TK] Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thanks Glen! I knew you’d have any answer for me. Those little nuggets of knowledge are great. It’s cool how the mythology develops both on and off screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhobi[TK] Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 this means that the markings on the helmets on rs etc are wrong because they are shown in mirror image and thus result in 2 different ranks. Does that mean when I add a rank it can always be seen from the same side and not as a mirror image, which of course also makes sense (and it is clearly in brackets in the marking list how the rank should be marked)? i.e. for example a sergent is marked from the left and from the right with empty, empty, line, line. mirror-image marking such as left blank, blank, line, line and right line, line, empty, empty would therefore be wrong right?

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 The image was made up guide of what ranks there may be and its not official, if you want screen accurate marking study some of the screen references, some helmets had the same rank markings on both sides and some didn't, you will find some examples here http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-Stunt-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
