    Well, if that's the 501st, then Vader had better be there.

    they don't need Vader to be there - they could just be carrying out his orders. while vader likes to lead from the front, he also sometimes has to be directing more than just one battle..

    Remember, the 501st is not simply Vader's personal bodyguard. It's a 10,000-strong special operations unit, which I akin to our own 75th Ranger Regiment. They strike me as the razor-sharp tip of the spear that is the Imperial military, in that they'd be the first ones sent in to quell an insurgency and would do the heaviest of the fighting. They're a light infantry brigade, would be sent in to clear out an area, then move out and leave the peacekeeping to regular Imperial Army grunts (non-clones).

    Take a look at the left side of his face. It looks lke a stylized Mythosaur skull but I can't be sure.

    Looks like light coming off his HUD or another display to me.

    Too dark in tone for that, I'd think.[face_thinking]

    Nope. You can see, just under the edge of the visor, there are lighter areas leading from underneath his right eye down to the edge of the alleged tattoo, not like reflected light at all, so far as I can tell.

    The light would just have to be coming from a low angle. However, I am seeing the alleged tattoo better now than I was originally. I could go either way, ultimately.

    I can see that, although it's more of a dolphin than a fish.

    Uh... howdy?

    :p

    No, it's quite clearly a fish. A goldfish, specifically. Not the scaly kind, either: the cheezy tasty kind.

    I like fish 'cause they're so delicious/I like gold fishes

    Anyhow... it's hilarious that, with the cessation of the Clone War campaign, we're now reduced to speculating on random CGI smudges.

    Bring on CW '07!

    EDIT: About Jag's tatoo, I found a pic of Temura Morrison doing that shot. There's definitely some makeup where I spotted that tatoo.Here's a link

    Looks more like a scortched scar than a tattoo....^^

    On on the gun, I believe Karen ordered one of these from the maker on clonetroopers.net [face_thinking]

    Definatly a scar. Looks like a pretty harsh burn, hey, maybe someone could write a fanfic or even a CW Adventures story about how he got it. Maybe it was the same time he got demoted.
