TIE Fighter Pilot from Ep VII The Force Awakens may have been leaked

By Black Knight Leader, in X-Wing

Its on the force website but you can just look up "TIE Fighter Pilot the Force awakens" on bing, you should find two articles form Nov 2014, with pictures of it.

I dont know what to say... The Stormies look cool as do the Chrome troopers, TIEs, X-Wings. This TIE FIghter Pilot however... I hope this is a failed concept picture OR it just looks bad on paper BUT the physical prop will look great. The top of the helemet reminds me of badly made N64 Star Fox bosses.

The fun has not been doubled... :(

If I look for it on Google will that work too or do I have to use Bing?

Yes

Thats the one. I hate were the grining part is placed, I dont like that it looks like a Xbox 360 was cramed into the bottom section of the helmet were the hose connect, but the top of the helmet screams "chicken of the sea."

Please say it ain't so.

I hoped 7 would not repeat the prequel.

yeah... the top looks wonky.. but, I don't have to wear it.. lol

Hard to tell how it will really look from that quick sketch. Things can look different when seen in 3-dimensions. When I saw the leaked concept sketches for the new stormtrooper helmets I thought they were pretty bad too but after seeing the actual helmets in the trailer I thought they looked cool.

I kinda like it. I'm sure it will look even better in 3D.

I like ep1-3 alot, even when considering the weird / stupid looking stuff. I got over it because by default when you got a larger than normal galaxy full of life and milions of diffrent cultures you should see things that will be starnge.

That said, this helmet / suit design is VERY HARD to reconcile with. Besides the architectur issues I have with the suit I also think it way to black. The orignal was very black / dark grey BUT they had the Imperial icons on them, some had grey or silver stripes running down the cheeks and or silver or red markings on the top raised part of the helmet. Then you got more color with elite squadrons, Wings, Groups.

This ep7 version just has to much black with no other color on it... If anyone can I would like you and try and alter the picture to give it the 181st colors or any other elite force. Just the way its shaped makes it look more difficult to stylize and look good.

IM sure it add to the lore why there is a low percentage of TIE Pilots in the Empire.

Like I said all I can hope is that it looks better as a physical prop, like you suggest, OR this is failed concept art.

LOL they added some sheet metal or something to make it look like a top gun hair style! Too funny!

I hope that isn't the final product, that looks horrific.

Please say it ain't so.

Wait....leaked concept art of a helmet you don't like is enough to convince you that this movie will be a repeat of the prequels?

That doesn't make anywhere close to an amount of sense...

Don't worry, neither does the prequel-hating panic button with Jar-Jar's face on it. The one haters push every single time they see something they don't like.

As if Dark Empire didn't come first.

And RotJ before that. And the Holiday Special before THAT.

Does everyone hate my fav SW stories... :(

All thats left is the Stele chronicles, XW Alliance, Kinect SW, SWTFU, SWTFU2, Renegade & Elite Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, Force Corruption, Rogue Squadron In the Empires service & blood and honor.

The Lunar Republic wants YOU! Why fly for a tyrant when you could be flying for the Princess of the Night?

All TIEs and Wings excepted :)

Free slice of Purple Chocolate Blueberry cake for each excepted LRG Pilot XD

I'm okay with the design with the exception of the "crown". The eyes and mouth look fine and I like the bottom section where the life support is.

I'm guessing that the "crown" is actually a blast visor in a raised position, not some silly decorative crest.

Extra visor for flying in a solar system. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It looks like a crazy hair style to give a named charature something to recognize them by when they have the helmet on.
