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.

Here's Zev in Rouge 2.

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

Black Hawk Down (2001)

I've always wondered why there isn't a 1/6 headsculpt of Ewan McGregor with a Ranger haircut. Afterall, Toy Soldier did provide almost everything to do a bash of him.

I can understand why there isn't likely to be any for Orlando Bloom though. He barely had screen time.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)

Take note of the skinny chest armour and helmet on the Stormtroopers. It looks like the Medicom Stormtrooper is not that wrong after all. It's amusing that so many of the Stormtroopers are lefty.

For a leading hero character, Luke is certainly an ugly dude. Mark Hamill no longer has the innocent boy look that he spotted in A New Hope.

Wasn't Luke a blondie?!? All I see is brown hair.

The only time Luke wore his X-Wing pilot suit in the movie. It was the black Jedi outfit for the rest of the movie. (With additional poncho and helmet during the Endor scenes)

It appears that Ewan McGregor tried to mimic Alec Guinness' speech and mannerism in the Prequels. He did a good job at it if that was the case.

Of note are the Asian and female X-Wing pilots in the background.

Some details on pilot control panel on Wedge's chest.

See how glossy Vader's helmet is?

It's not glossy anymore in this scene. He ought to choke his polisher.

The following conversation between Luke and Leia confirms that George Lucas screwed up big time in Ep III: Revenge of the Sith.

Luke: Leia, do you remember your mother, your real mother?
Leia: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
Luke: What do you remember?
Leia: Just images really. Feelings.
Luke: Tell me.
Leia: She was... very beautiful. Kind... but sad. Why are you asking me this?
Luke: I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.
