RAIDER[COTG] Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Description: First Order Sith Trooper Prefix: TX Detachment: Spec Ops Detachment Context: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Sith troopers were elite soldiers in an army raised on the planet Exegol by the Sith Eternal—Sith cultists who revered the dark side of the Force and were devoted to the Sith religion. Though they were not imbued with the power of the Force, Sith Troopers nonetheless shared the name of the revived sect of the dark side, drawing inspiration from a dark and ancient legacy. As such, their red armor was reminiscent of Sith lightsaber blades and the Imperial elite, evoking an aura of fear and death. They were the culmination of an elaborate contingency meant to ensure the eternal reign of a new Sith Empire, returning the galaxy to a dark age of a thousand years past.

Feel free to begin conversation and/or drafting text. Hi all, I think is a good idea to start to put the pics of each component in the right section of the discussion. For example, helmet pisc on the section "helmet", so the discussion could start. I have navigated through internet, and have some pics. What do you think? Link to comment

Threads have been created to discuss each piece individually by @nanotek. I have been working through each area to compile pictures of all of our costumes into single threads. The Sith Trooper is on that list. There will be one thread w/ all reference pictures in it loaded directly into the forum (though @gmrhodes13 has been doing a great job collecting the photos and posting links so far here) If you have more pictures you'd like to add that he hasn't already, post them in his thread and I (or @nanotek) will grab them when ready to compile them: https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/6790-sith-trooper-reference-pictures/ The pictures can be pulled into those threads (they can even now using @gmrhodes13 links) already as needed and most of the text is already drafted...for example...see the helmet here: https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/6787-sithtrooper-helmet-draft-crl-development-discussion/ You should review those individual piece threads as the discussions and drafting have already begun. 4 Link to comment

RAIDER[COTG] Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I started the direct-loaded reference picture thread. I had some issues getting some files over (incompatible file type?). Anyways...did most...not all. There might be more that need to be added @nanotek Feel free to pull more from this thread and add them. I did not add any video links. For that thread, we will stick to screen caps and pictures. Keep using this thread to post new ones from which we can pull and load direct. Link to comment
gmrhodes13[501st] Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Not sure why some files I have posted don't show but when you click on them they come up, I try to save as png as it keeps details better than jpg. I do have copies of everything I have posted if any are needed to be converted to another format. 1 Link to comment

You can look at what I posted and just send me direct any necessary ones to iamdarthraider@gmail.com From what I did do, I feel like we pretty much just need to wait for screen references at this point...but if you want anything specifically added feel free to shoot em to me.

Actarus911[TX] Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi everybody, Since the Blu-Ray is out now and there will be no other source material. Do you have an Idea of when the CRL will be ready to launch ? I'm waiting for it to know if I will have to modify or not my Jimmiroquai Armor prior to paint ! Thanks Link to comment

As a reference point, when the Solo Blu-Ray launched, the final Mudtrooper CRL (which had been largely drafted ahead of time much like this Sith Trooper) did not publish for almost another 4 months. I would estimate it may take longer given the current state of the world at this point but I know we are working to clear things from the slate as much as we can so that extra focus and attention can be given to the Sith Trooper. That's about the best info I can give you. 3 Link to comment
RAIDER[COTG] Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 @nanotek @gmrhodes13 @JoeShoe @Blackwatch @IcyTrooper @rickyboyblue @ukswrath Topic unlocked. I will be going through each item and adjusting punctuation, bullet formatting, wording adjustments, and drawing any final questions to the text. I am tagging @ionicdesign and to do a spot check on the CRL as a whole and to critique the CRLs accessibility to GMLs. We have Level 1 and Level 2 divided but I am still struggling with some portions being difficult reads for GMLs and would like his (Michael's) assistance on that. YELLOW - Items of question GREEN - Additions RED - Removals And if my color key is off know I am color blind (lol seriously have issues with colors). I've highlighted all numbers in yellow...though i know you all have the details locked in...I'm not sure it's fully necessary for Level 1 text as I just can't see a GML doing the counts, but counts are not unheard of on CRLs even down to our most popular ANH TK (tube stripes, teeth, ear bumps). So with that, the highlight to come to one final consensus decision. Once a section has been cleared, I will edit the top post text. To begin...the helmet... Helmet Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume. Lenses are black in color. They may be bubble in shape or flat and must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. The lens frame extends back underneath the trap and terminates approx. 1cm from the back of the trap. The brow extends out from the lens forming a significant overhang. There are two recessed lines that run parallel to and are above the brow. The bottom recess extends above the clip greeblie running parallel to the trap and connects with the recess at the rear of the helmet. The top recess terminates where it intersects with the bottom recess line. A "mohawk" section runs along the center from front to back but is not raised. 16 recessed lines run parallel to the "mohawk"-like section from front to back on each side. The mohawk starts from the second brow line and extends toward the back, terminating in the recessed lines at the back. The frown is semi-gloss black with the following features: The mouth has one center "tooth" that connects to the snout and is separated by a detail that has a greeblie section with 14 "ribs." The mouth has 4 teeth either side of the center “tooth." There is no hexagonal mesh in the mouth area between the teeth. (Level 2 mentions no mesh as well. Should this then be a Level 2 requirement or does this negate the Level 2 line?) The area from the bottom of the mouth extending to the tears has hexagonal mesh. The center tooth is the width of the bridge and has 14 small ribs at the top. The jawline is angular and has the following details: Flat trapezoidal section that extends 3/4 way down the jawline from the frown. Flat triangular sections, one each side of the trapezoid. 10 recessed lines that extend from the base of the flat triangular section. Each tear (area beneath the corners of lens frame) contains the following details: is Angular. Solid matte black. Recessed circle in the bottom most corner. has 3 recessed lines separating the top tear from the bottom section. Faceplate is two separate angular pieces that mirror each other with the following details: 14 recessed lines on each. Curved lower section that starts from the tear and curves towards the front of the jaw forming a filleted ledge. The ledge is more pronounced at the tear end smaller towards the frown. Faceplates are separated by a channel that runs vertically along the bridge of the nose between the lens and frown. The bridge of the nose has 10 small rectangular ribs from frown to lens frame with one larger one at the top. The side of the jawline has. 7 rectangular cut out vents/tube stripe slots are on each side of the helmet. They have the appearance of being black at the base of each slot. 5 recessed lines extend from the front of the jaw and terminate in an angled manner below the trap. There angle of termination is complementary to the black trapezoidal shape. Two helmet clip greeblies are present over the traps on each side. Directly below the traps is a detail comprised of a vertical alignment of shapes in the following order: a Small raised circular shape. a Recessed B shape. a Small raised circular shape. Below the traps toward the back and base of the helmet is a small black trapezoidal stripe. There are 5 recessed lines at the back forming a trapezoidal shape. The angle at which the recesses terminate are complementary to the rear black trapezoidal shape. There is one slightly wider recess channel that extends all the way around the base of the helmet. The base of the channel is black is about 8mm wide by 8mm deep. (corresponding inch measures) Matches all the angles of the helmet as shown. The bottom of the helmet has a black ledge that runs the perimeter of the helmet that extends back into the interior. Black ledge is approx. 3/4" to 1" wide. (mm measures too please) Matches the angles of the helmet, most notable is the jawline. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Lenses are bubble-like or bulbous in shape. Lens frame has 4 recessed notches near the top of the tear. The brow has the following details: There is a cutout section under the brow. There is a raised section underneath the brow that has a pattern comprised of 62 recessed pill shapes. The teeth are are metallic black or a very dark gray. Faceplate pieces are visibly separate pieces, 4 slots under each faceplate for covering the teeth. The tube vents are a solid backing and painted black. No mesh or cloth is present. The helmet clip greeblies are the correct clips (refer clip greeblies diagram). 1 Link to comment
gmrhodes13[501st] Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Would it be better moving the actual amount of lines/ridges to a L2 requirement and not for basic approval? I agree with the additions and removed text Perhaps allow satin black as it has been added in other areas of the CRL. Each tear (area beneath the corners of lens frame) contains the following details: Solid matte black. Solid matte or satin black Measurements added The base of the channel is black is about 8mm wide by 8mm deep (corresponding inch measures) (5/16 inch) The bottom of the helmet has a black ledge that runs the perimeter of the helmet that extends back into the interior. Black ledge is approx. 3/4" to 1" wide. (mm measures too please) (19mm - 25mm) 1 Link to comment

TX-20113[501st] Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi there. It's normally not my thing to disturb the CRL proposal, but i have to ask. Am i just not getting it or does the text miss the part i marked on the picture? There is a part in the middle of the helmet which is not been described in the text. It starts from both sides very thin and to around 1mm and then it makes a step to an a more thick part. Sorry didnt know how to do a better description Link to comment
Michael Ren[501st] Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Looks absolutely great! Greatly written CRL draft gentlemen ? I'd just capitalize the words Legion and Detachment in the intro text, but those are details. Hope to see this thing finalized soon and people approved, will be a very impressive costume to add to the troops. 2 1 Link to comment

To bring up to speed regarding counts, the discussion was settled that on the majority of parts we would not use line counts in Level 1 (particularly due to accommodate troopers of different sizes). The helmet is currently the main exception to that being the defining piece of the armor. Reading it back tho i just couldnt see a GML counting anything in double digits. 2 Link to comment

RAIDER[COTG] Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Adjustments made to top post. I have left the numbered counts in the helmet (for now) along with the word "fileted" until another word can be suggested (if ever). Moving on...the shoulder bells... Shoulder Bells Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume. One on each shoulder with the same shape but different from each other in features. Both the front and back lower edges have a graduated step/angular edge. At the top of each shoulder is a small extension or lip that appears from underneath, is rounded and butts up to the cuirass. When viewed from the front, it appears as a little ledge that is lower than the top of the shoulder. Right Shoulder: Has approx. 16 recessed lines that start from the top edge of the angular section of the bell from front to back forming an arc. On the top is a "shoulder mounted sensor telemetry pod" and is mounted on a bracket that is fixed to the top of the shoulder. The sensor is circular when seen from the front and side mounted to the bracket. The front most part of the sensor is matte black, the remainder is red and matches the armor. Has a cone like protuberance forming an antenna from the center. The bracket is red matching the armor. There is an angular and chamfered box on the side of the bell. The outermost part has an extended raised rectangular chamfered box that has three black oblong recesses areas. Two larger ones to the bottom right and one smaller one to the top left. Vertical recessed lines on each side of the box. Horizontal channel at the top of box about 6-8mm (inch measures) wide Left Shoulder: Has vertical recessed lines running from the bottom to about ¾ up the bell forming an arc. The recessed lines terminate in an arc shape that mirrors the arc on the bottom of the bell. The total width of the recessed lines equals the same width as the bottom of the bell. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Right shoulder has approximately 16 horizontal recessed lines 1-2mm wide, spaced about 4-5mm apart each that form the arc. (inch measures) Shoulder Mounted Sensor telemetry pod. Has 2 recessed and 2 raised concentric circles starting from the cone forming a total of 4 concentric circles. Antenna is hollow. Shoulder Mounted Sensor bracket has the following details: Semi-circle shape attached to bracket when viewed from the rear with a small circle that has a spherical button towards the right side. The flat top of the rear part of the bracket has a oblong bubble shape in the back left corner when viewed from the rear. There is a horizontal line that runs along the rear of the bracket. The outer most side of the bracket is an L shape. There is a circular button/pin detail on the top right of the bracket when viewed from the side. There is a circular indentation diagonally downwards from the button, when viewed from the side. There is an indentation when viewed from the rear Approx 8 vertical recessed line on each side of the angular and chamfered box on the side of the bell. Left Shoulder has approximately 36 vertical recessed lines are 1-2mm wide spaced 4-5mm apart (inch measures) 2 Link to comment

On Level 2 applicants it is not unheard of (standard for TB Lancer and Shadow Scout Specialist for all of the strapping). At Level 1...not at all...approx gives builders a guideline and GMLs a roundabout as they will still just have the front/back approval pics. 4 Link to comment

Biceps Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume One on each bicep and are mirror opposites of each other The biceps are made up of two parts; inner and outer bicep One seam that faces forward Overlap towards the inner rear of the bicep Clip greeblie is present low and overlaps the seam There is a small rectangular recessed section just above the clip Two black ovals are present on the outside facing side of the bicep Larger vertical recess towards the rear outer section, intersects where the bicep angles down toward the rear The rear of the bicep has an angular line that drops about 1" (25mm) to form a rectangular section when viewed from the rear The rectangular sections have approx. 11 recesses on each bicep The angular sections that meet to form the rectangular sections at the back are flat At the bottom of the rear rectangular section is a black horizontal oblong shaped recess There are vertical recessed lines in the front of the bicep Recesses start at the small rectangular recessed section above the clip greeblie The recesses on the outer bicep terminate at approx. 33 degree angle. The vertical recesses on the inner bicep are approx. angled at 45-47 degrees There are 45-47 degree recessed lines that run around the inner bicep (the lines are angled at those degrees or there are that many lines total?) terminate at the front seam and bottom of bicep overlap at the inside-back by the rectangular section at the back OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Clip greeblie is the correct bicep greeblie as per diagram The recessed section above the clip has two steps There are a total of 32 vertical recessed lines at the front that start on the inside of the bicep and end on the outside forming a 'V' shape intersecting at the bicep clip There are a total of 25-30 visible diagonal recessed lines that that start at the front seam and continue around the inside of each bicep disappearing behind the overlap on the inner rear 1 Link to comment
