I think it's quiet amusing that George had been waiting for years for the right technology to come along so that he could put these scenes in the movie and when he finally got the chance, there where sandtroopers included that didn't exactly match all previous versions of them. But then again, the other two guys in the background seem to fit normal sandtrooper standards. At least I don't see dropboxes on the one guy. So, it could've been intentional too.
Oh and now that I've seen your signature, that brings up the point of grey pauldrons.
- Pauldron (Black, Orange, or White) made from vinyl or leather. Gray is not acceptable, as it is not canon.
I think George wanted grey pauldrons or it wouldn't have been added right? Hope noone takes me wrong thinking I'm nagging or something but are we just ignoring the special edition scenes like they never happened.
