But-but.... RO itself created that plot hole....

There you go again trying to interject facts into a discussion Talibane...

So in other words, you didn?t get that we were joking [emoji28] ...and if you really think that adding diversity to a SW cast is a plot hole, then wow.

I'm well aware this isn't a serious discussion. And I wouldn't call the difference in cast a plot hole, but it is certainly an inconsistency that you would have to be blind not to notice if transitioning from RO into ANH. Insert Chris Farley gif here.

It's like if you did a prequel to the Great Escape or Stalag 17 set in the same camps just days earlier and that intertwines closely with the classic movie plots and even has the same Nazi characters - but made over 3/4 of the new POW cast either non-white or female, and you even add a turncoat Nazi who happens to be non-white.

And people then pretend not to notice it, and anyone who does notice it is called out as being against diversity. To me it's just about common sense and logic - but this is more about emotion.

Casting is an emotionally loaded and strange thing today (eg a non-trans actor must not play a trans character, casting of non-white actors to play real white historical figures) - it really gets to people, so you really can't question it or discuss it in any logic-based way. So best to just end it here.

...and yet you do discuss it. And here I thought that we were both joking about this being and ?issue?. Apparently both of us didn?t... but yes, let?s leave it at that since we know where it would go next.

But if you thought it was an issue and were joking, then me joking about that issue would turn it into a joke and not a serious discussion, wouldn't it? But then apparently both of us weren't aware of that... and we know where that would lead. But yeah let's leave it.

Some pics off my phone. Really really like this figure. Definitely will be a standout in my collection. I wish the weathering in the helmet was a more but it?s there.

Thanks for the pics. Do any parts of the mask move/come off? I wasn't sure if the headsculpt was actually under the mask or if they swap it out.

It looks really cool. The weathering on the cape/poncho looks better than the uniform though. Goggles look really well done.

Yeah curious about this too.

Awesome pics. I am thinking of buying this and the regular Han for my display.

 

[TaliBane]

Love the closer pic of the helmet - almost looks like a full size costumed person pic.

 

[DioramaMaker]

This has Shoretrooper written all over it.

 

[D.R.37]

The weathered metallic finish on the goggles came out great. Figure looks nicely muddied throughout. Thanks for the shots Rbeato.

 

[Hoody999]

Yes finally some in hand pics. Thanks Rbeato. Looks great !!

 

[sithocan]

I wish they'd include a Mudtrooper nameplate.

 

[Centrocal]

When i get this figure, the first thing I'd do is cover up his neck. The exposed skin clashes with the color scheme.

 

[slikkerias]

Looks great. Probably takes forever for this to find its way to my shelf in Europe though...

"Now THIS is flying!!!"
