Social Vader

Nice play on The Social Network theatrical poster. It was one of the best 2010 movies in my books.

Snowspeeder Pilots

The Rebel snowspeeder pilot outfit seen in The Empire Strikes Back is fairly similar to the X-Wing pilot outfit worn in A New Hope. Here's a look at the changes.

(click on photos for larger view)

An orange jacket with puffy collars is worn over the jumpsuit.

The pilots wear a skull cap

Winter boots are worn instead of jackboots.

One other difference that I didn't manage to cap would be the glove. It has changed from black gauntlet gloves to tan gauntlet gloves.

Now for a look at the helmet designs on some of the pilots. Here's Luke as Rouge Leader.

Rouge Leader's gunner, Dack has the vanilla helmet design that is worn by most of the snow speeder pilots.

Now for Wedge in Rouge 3.

Wedge's helmet from the rear.

Wedge's gunner in Rouge 3, Janson.

Here's Zev in Rouge 2.

Is that bubble wrap that I see on the shoulder harness!?
