An interesting discussion came up on the Florida boards today about the plastic 'front part' of the standard TKs belt, and what the ends of the belt where it goes from plastic to canvas should look like.

It seems that some TKs have belts like this:

instead of like:

Trying to get some pictures together that I can post, but Mike (http://tk1536.com/) has a good picture of what I'm talking about on his website with the Luke with TK belt shot.

What does everyone else use?

Move along here:http://www.mepd.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=67&pos=24 Looks like the top has broken off a bit.

Maybe the belts were thin on the corners and they just cut them off for the hero pictures/usage?

I dunno. Thoughts, comments, ideas?

ANH/ESB angled corners

ROTJ/SE square corners

The original ANH suits all had the corners clipped at 45` angles, so did the ESB.

The ROTJ suits had squared corners of the belts and were permanently fixed to ab plates. These same style SE suits were used in some scenes of ANH in Tatooine so that is why you see two variations in the same film.

*edit* Tatooine not Mos Eisley
