Makes sense, considering this is what regular GA troopers look like.


The GAG armor, then, is just basically the standard armor painted black.

Huh, I'd never actually seen the "GA Trooper" before. Interesting.

Anyways, I think the basic idea was "riot police" with a SW twist, which those riot geared police pretty much fit the bill.

Nice, the GA troopers look interesting. A little better pic:

That Galactic Alliane trooper armor looks vaguely like the "blue armored guys" on the cover of Legacy #10. I like the overall armor, though I do wish that the helmets were mroe akin to the old Rebel troopers. Overall, I like them, however.

I'm actually glad they're not, if you're referring to the these guys. The overuse of that helmet-style's one of my biggest peeves, since they're specifically Alderaanian marines, not just generic "rebel troopers."

QFT.

How that became the default Rebel uniform, I don't know. If nothing else, the rebel uniform, if they had one, would seem to be a less winterized version of the uniform the Hoth troops wear, considering that scene is where we see the first large collection of true Rebel troops.

I guess Battlefront should get props for having using its vaguely "Endor strike team" uniform.

That Sia figure is the most ridiculously sexist thing I've seen in a long time. She is shown in Legacy in Imperial Knight armor and a brown cloak over pants not a pink frilly dress. Oh. My. Gosh. angry

The rest of the Imperial Knights look awesome though. And the Yuuzhan Vong. And Lumiya!

Just how much should we read into the fact that Jag's faction is Imperial?

I'd say as much as we want. It is the Legacy of the Force set, after all. whistling

Not too much. The GA Troopers are listed as New Republic, after all.

She is?

Brown dress. Anyway the figure looks to be based on the cover of #3.

Is it really sexist to show one female character - a princess - in a dress?

You left out Jag. We desperately need more Jag pictures. He's the biggest non-Skywalker-family part of the next generation, and we have exactly two images of him, none of them current to LOTF. I demand visual representation.


Here, here, Havac!

So I'm going to be really shallow and demand a picture of Jag doing pull-ups from Exile.

End of discussion. not_talking

That's still not a pink dress. And yes it is. If she's supposed to be seen as a valid Imperial Knight, yes. Its like she's playing pretend Imperial Knight and we're supposed to see her as a fragile pretty pretty princess. rolling_eyes
