Interesting how the Empire's gone back to the hexwinged TIE frame.

Stormtrooper Armor:

EDIT: Nevermind. Added your findings to the first post.

He's almost cutting out his heart with that stupid cross-guard. Apart from that... looks good!

I could see them using an old Sith lord. Saying someone found an old Sith tomb somewhere and had a Force Vision or something. Maybe we will get to see Korriban.

What is the source for these images?

the celebration

Chrome troopers. (Storm trooper + 80's Cylons = win!) But what is their combat speciality? Besides looking flashy?

...although, on second thoughts, wearing a cape doesn't seem like a very practical thing to do when there's guys running around with flamethrowers as well

Armourweave Cape? Would provide protection vs Fire +10

Does the front most TIE seem reddish? Just to the right of the shuttle wing. Probably a reflection but that'd be cool to see some TIE variations.

If I remember aright, one of the earlier images (don't remember what thread it was in) was of a slightly modified TIE that was red, so maybe so.

... Especially with the aiming history of stormtroopers on-screen. Maybe they'll be better in this movie??

4th faction. "Remnants." Flamethrower turrets in space.

And another one:

Hard to tell if those Ties are painted black or just the lighting in the rendering makes them look back.

I hope more than anything else that Gweldoline Christie plays a truly fantastic - but not mustache twirling villain.

I noticed this from the first trailer. Updated avionics in an older hull to save costs?

I love Kylo Ren's look.

Looks like we've come around full circle.

Stormtroopers helmets look like they have stupid smiley faces.

Edit: Removed errant "a"

Stormtroopers helmets look like they have a stupid smiley faces.

"You wanna know how I got these scars?"

Someone with photoshop needs to paste trollface over one to see how well it matches.

Black, for sure black TIEs

Stormtroopers helmets look like they have stupid smiley faces.

Simley faces? Or evil mustaches of gentlemanly villainy?

This was my favorite comparison:

I think it looks more like they're crying. The black lines running from the eyes, and the big frown where it's always been.

Maybe they're all sad that their Death Star blew up. Twice.

we will probably see a slow conversion back to clone trooper style armor/markings. Especially as the empire shrinks in size.
