you don't get any points for predicting a star wars quote.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,498]

Oh my goodness! Really?! That's a Star Wars quote? Honestly, DD, I never knew. Which film is it from?

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

The Voyage Home.

It is awfully ironic they have created new starfighters for this film, set in the original trilogy, and in force awakens we have full nostalgia with only updated designs of the old ships.

 

 

[Jay 37,287]

Cool!

 

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

The darth vader helmet is rather oddly drawn. I hope it is not a final version...

[Barnald 365]

Is that hairy thing a Bothan? Yes I realize that they were only officially involved with spying on the second Death Star, but I suspect they won't be able to resist including them. I also know the look of the Bothans has already been established, but I believe that was all EU so it's probably no longer relevant. And this doesn't look hugely dissimilar in any case.

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

i hope that is not a bothan. Look like a wookiee ewok hybrid o_0

[Dixon Hill 4,233]

I'm more excited for this than I would expect to be!  Shockingly unconcerned about slightly askew Vader helmets and possible Bothan designs, but then I've always been a little eccentric like that.  

[Wojo 2,453]

The TIE Fighter games created new starfighters that debuted and disappeared in the time between the movies. It's perfectly fine for the movies to do the same. I just presume they built a limited number of them and phased them out before the Battle of Yavin. 

[mstrox 6,647]

There is no canon depiction of Bothans, and even the EU depictions were pretty dissimilar.  Some were catlike, some were goatlike.  For the most part, I think the EU settled on hornless goats with manes, but I'd rather see something fresh.

Well that would obviously be much more interesting. Fingers crossed

[Jay 37,287]

Looks like kind of a weird movie

 

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

Um, those AT-ATs are from galactic battlegrounds or empire at war... orange 'faction' color plates all over the place! LOL

I'm OK with it.

 

I was just pointing that TFA has only TIE fighters and X-wings... and this other movie is already more daring about ships.

 

This movie is going to have more new ships when it could

[Giftheck 916]

The heads on those AT-ATs are definitely different to the ones in Empire Strikes Back. No chin cannons at all, only head cannons. I'm assuming this was an 'inbetween' to the TESB AT-AT and the Rebels one.

 

That's decent enough an angle to actually use for creating that AT-AT for my Battlefront mod.

[Bilbo 3,709]

Nice to see some variety with regards to ships unlike TFA.

why the sarcasm, did you not intentionally reference ROTJ with "Your faith in Ms. Kennedy is your weakness"?

Check out this odd Episode 8 / Rogue One blended image

 

 

It's for this:

 

 

 

 

Names of the new stuff:

 

 

 

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

I think it is a blend of Ep 8 & rogue one.

 

Even if the ep8 parts are taken from 7, there is no han solo and luke is prominent.

[Jay 37,287]

Anybody want to photoshop a Rogue One OST cover from the bottom part (if you can cleanly remove Luke & Poe)

At least it's consistent with the matte black helmet of the original film.

I meant the weird angle of the part of the upper helmet covering the left chin, not the design per se.

 

I hope it is ANH accurate too.

[Wojo 2,453]

Yes, including the cape and armor arrangements at his neck. 

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

I would be weird if it does not match ANH.

 

Maybe it's ANH's vader the one that should be replaced by a CGI updated version....

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Vader's costume changes in each film. So it would not be against the established continuity if there are subtle differences between this new version and the SW (not ANH) costume. Kind of depends how much time passes between the two.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Make it pink.

See this link for details of the differences between ROTS and ANH Vader helmets: http://www.starwarshelmets.com/RotS2ANHvader_comp.htm

 

They should have made ROTS one match ANH for continuity. Then again continuity did not seem high on GL's priority list with the prequels....

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

There's 18 years between ROTS and SW. There's no need for the suit to be identical.

Yes, but it would be much cooler if it was. The ANH helmet looks much more sinister than the ROTS one. And why would Vader go from a perfectly polished, black symmetrical helmet to an asymmetrical, matte black and grey one with red lenses? And then back to a polished black one for ESB/ROTJ? Also, the chin vent goes from wide (ROTS) to narrow (ANH) and back to wide (ESB/ROTJ).

 

This site goes into much detail with photos, also about the costume changes: http://fd.noneinc.com/secrethistoryofstarwarscom/secrethistoryofstarwars.com/visualdevelopmentofdarthvader.html

 

"Lucas had to also make a decision on how to visually portray the Vader suit. Rather than making a choice with chronological consistency in mind, in other words going with the suit shown in Star Wars, Anakin was instead given the cyborg-emphasized design of the later two sequels."

[Wojo 2,453]

I like how dirty and covered with fingerprints Darth Vader's helmet was in the original Star Wars film. It's as if George Lucas had not yet invented the concept that this man has no hands. 

[Dixon Hill 4,233]

Yeah but the inconsistency of the fingerprints is a huge blow to realism. Totally takes me out of the movie.

Here's my crack at it. 
 

[Jay 37,287]

Wow! Excellent work!

[Pieter Boelen 740]

That does look pretty fantastic!

[A. A. Ron 1,738]

I don't think I like the black on top, white on bottom background, but I know it would have been more work to go with one or the other. The characters look great IMO!

While it would indeed be a ton of work to try and make it entirely black, here's some idea of what it'd look like entirely white: 

Spoiler

 

[Pieter Boelen 740]

Does look quite clean like that. But not very "starry".

That first one looks more artistic/creative to me.

[crumbs 14,301]

Clickbait or is the film in trouble?

 

Disney execs in a panic over upcoming Star Wars film.

[Romão 2,274]

Probably clickbait, bur if the 4 week reshoots are true...that is really quite extensive. It's not the normal reshoot routine

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

It's a disaster in the making!

[Dixon Hill 4,233]

If anything, seems like someone noticed something was too good about it and demanded them to tone it back down to mediocrity.  

[Pieter Boelen 740]

How can "the movie not be testing well"? It won't be out until the end of the year; it is very doubtful they have anything resembling "finished" by now.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Probably code for the existing rough cut didn't impress the execs.

[mstrox 6,647]

These are likely regular reshoots, lengthy because this is a Star War with a lot of SFX..

[ocelot 508]

I would imagine part of the reshoot is to put in Han Solo as well? Maybe a de-aged Princess Leia at the end of the movie getting the plans after the rest of the cast of this movie is killed off? I mean, they have to be killed off, we don't ever hear from them except for Mon Mothma. Or maybe they go into hiding on Alderan heh

He decided to go back to the old one from ROTS as a fashion choice? Vintage became very fashion forward in ESB and ROTJ timeline?
