My understanding has always been that TK/TD officers were black, as seen in the Tantive IV. In fact they've been called stormtrooper officers before. I've always thought of them as unarmored troopers, just like in the clone wars the the clones were armor most of the time, but officer uniforms when not in combat/guard mode. I think the reason we've never seen enlisted ranks in the OT as back then they really didn't care about such things - it wasn't part of the story and in the 70's people didn't expect rich back stories like people do now.

<p>We use tan berets here in Garrison Titan at least. Seemed appropriate. There use to be a run of beret flashes - I'm sure there are some laying around.</p>

Getting better all the time

What i was to unerstand was that he felt the SE (which was the latest release at the time) was what he wanted people to see, and thus he wanted to destroy all previous copies. Think about it - the version he released as 'orignal' last time is basically the same as the laserdisc rips, which are the closest visually one can get but he kept the sound at 2-channel instead of updating it to 5.1 surround, as well as not doing any number of small fixes to enhance that experience. That's also why all new TK's added in ANH are ROTJ, as that's his latest version of trooper. As for the TV series I can't say. My understanding is that this is shelved permanently and they are more likely to just continue clone wars right up to ANH.

I remember years back when I was trolling to find a good digital copy of Star Wars (aka ANH) as it was in the theater but with 5.1 surround I happened on some forums where people were as serious about the films as we were about costums. I found a lot of references indicating that Uncle George went around trying to buy up every print he could and destroy them. Yup, not archive, destroy them. Thus, peope with old copies were even more reclusive and protetive than someone with a screen used TK.

Do what you need to do, bro -hope all settles down soon.

You are a very lucky man.

Wow - that is awesome!! Me wants

Thighs aren't that bad - just need a little tapering. Take a look at tkrestonva on FISD for someone who did a great job with this.

I'll be going this year, but probably not taking hard armor given the extra bag fees. Should have an officer though...and some BSG gear.

Simply beautiful Rolf!! Can you drop them at all like HF, or would they break?

136 posts is nothing to sneeze at either. Hope all is well with you and yours.

The bar gets ever higher - way to go Rolf!

Thanks all! I treated myself to a shiney new bucket and took yesterday off to do some time with the wife. It also gave me time to reflect on the 501st and what a great group this is. Time and again I'm floored not only by the costuming talent of our members but also the generous spirit in which time and money are donated.

Absolutely beautiful!

A long time ago I saw a picture of Mrs. TE2 in a TE2 t-shirt that she was modeling for Mr. TE2 so he could show what the new (at the time) TE2 shirts looked like. I was so inspired I got my wife to model one too. Anyone else ever get their wives to model MEPD shirts?

That's so awesome - will be great for photoshopping in some extra elements like a troop ship.

Will be interesting to see it in person some day.

Ever girl wants a sister - I'm sure she's overjoyed

Peace and blessings be on to you and my best wishes for the health of Mom and daughter. Two kids of the same gender is far easier than one of each. You are lucky indeed - I know many dads with two girls and they love every minute of it. As an additional bonus - hand me downs

Alas, I do not. But the address is probably 2923 S. Meridian, #13107 Puyallup, WA 98373 This does correlate to an address at an apartment complex.

Feliz cumpleanos mi amigo! "Growing up" usually means boring, being closed minded. Don't ever lose your imagination. Besides, you can still be an adult but not lose your edge:

As of today there are 501 sandtroopers in the Legion. How cool is that? On another plus - for the first time ever there are 500 sandtroopers in the Legion. Rock on dirty boys

Sweet!! Way to go bro

That came out really nice - simply pretty
