Not technically military gear, but one of the commandos protecting bhodi, the black trooper, has 3 cigarettes on his helmet as a nod to Vietnam era movies, I believe it's a call back to Full Metal Jacket or Platton, can't remember

With the tropical beaches, lush jungle and Huey-Wing gunships it was all a big nod to Vietnam movies. :P.

They should make a Vietnam inspired SW series, about a squad of stormtroopers: Tour of Endor.

"Ewoks in the treeline!"

Full Metal Wookiee?

The Ewok Hunter?

A movie like that would work, I think.

You can get a whole Coen Brothers approach to the SW universe, with different movie styles represented. The Maltese Mynock? Muun's Eleven? A Blade Runner style detective thriller on Coruscant?
