[SPOILERS] Mina-Rau Updates

[Detaleader[501st]]

He folks! With the recent conclusion of Andor S2, I figure we could have a look at upgrades specifically from Season 2? 

We previously had a thread with update requests and additions from Season 1, but since @Tal Skirata confirmed the same costumes used on S2, I figured it may be worth setting up a spare thread to look into things specific to Season 2. 

I haven't really had a chance to hunt for screenshots yet, but for those interested, here's a good source for 4k Screenshots: https://www.cap-that.com/starwars/andor/?seasontwo 

Helps with avoiding photos taken off a TV screen too

I think this should be the main changes: 

- Prominent use of boots with no adjustment straps, so that should probably be moved into an optional thing 

- Right handed holsters for Power 5 Blasters

- Power 5 with coil wire (unlike the straight wire in Season 1) 

- The new smaller Mudtrooper looking goggles

- Variant with unpainted Flat black Armor (Ferrix/Ghorman style) 

- Based on items previously auctioned, it solidifies that the green shade currently in the CRL is totally off. The Mina Rau troopers seem to be color graded much closer to the physical costumes, with some leaning to brown and some leaning to greener 

Season 2 retains the mismatched nature of color shades, with some troopers having different color pants or hats 

- Riot Baton as previously seen on Ferrix. The same trooper also uses belt boxes in a brighter shade. The belt boxes for Andor have been made with different degrees of shine.

To be honest this might be a separate CRL cause to my eyes the Alhdani troopers are a shade of green and these are shades of brownish tan

We have confirmation from sources within production that these are the exact same costumes, the color difference is down to the show's color grading. 

 

Here's a fabric swatch from Season 1:

See that still looks green to me

Well that's just kind of it: The uniforms for both seasons are the same, but there's color differences within dye batches. 

The trooper on the left is browner, the trooper on the right leans greener.

 

Or a green hat on a brown jacket? The uniforms don't match, but that's exactly how Season 1 was too.

Just to provide reference, here's Season 1 behind the scenes pics with less/no color grading on there:

As I understood it from what will said the aldhani ones were the field grey/olive green as we have now and as they used the same costumes then they would also have been field grey/olive green on mina-rau had they not colour graded the film to show the brown.

 

its gonna be a seperate one then from that.?
