Trooper Thursday then Jyn comes tomorrow for Force Friday.......well can only hope.
These aren't bad I guess, but the lack of a tapered look on the ankle/lower leg armor and that awkwardly positioned paldron really take something dynamic away from the design. The helmet looks a little strange, too - almost like the proportions are too symmetrical.
Go to the 11:00 mark, it's all about the bucket refinements for Rogue One.
His backpack contents look so literal: Coffee thermos - check! Dumbell curler - check! Toilet roll dispenser - check!
Hey at least this guy has a plan, if the imperials are going to rule the galaxy you are going to need essential items and something to pass the time. Unlike the shoretrooper who shows up to the party in Hawaiian armor and slacks!
To me, the new RO helmets have a slightly old Don Post mask look too - i.e. not like real stormies from the OT, like a copy they couldn't quite get right. The eye lenses especially look very different and halloween mask-ish, and the ear details and chin grill just look very noticeanly different when you're closer.
I don't mind them retconning the helmets, cause this is basically what they're doing, but you are 100% correct, they do just have that subtle hmmmm to them. Probably not enough for the casual fan to even notice, but most die hards are going to at least think something looks off.
