This may be slightly off-topic, yet I think I may post it here... It's a custom minifigure I created for idle fun - Field Marshal Cody in Stormtrooper armor (my own fanon): The minifigure was inspired by the looks of the Snowtrooper officer and, of course, Clone Commander Cody from Episode 3.

Two new characters were made - this time they are Lois Lane and Annie from TNBA episode "Growing pains": Sadly, Lois has got an inaccurate hairpiece - I didn't find a better solution... As you can see, I also upgraded Mary Marvel - the previous version looked too old for my taste. Short white sleeves may be added later - if I manage to acquire the parts needed, of course... I also hope to make an STAS Jimmy Olsen soon. As for JL characters, I think I will start with Wonder Woman (probably)...

Thanks! The only characters using custom-printed parts are the Imperial officers, whom TLG didn't produce. Vader has custom cloth parts, Ceremony Leia has a paper cape, the droid you mentioned, R4-M9, has stickers on its cone, Ben Kenobi with a hood on his head had the hood erased from the back of his torso. The rest are purist. The bald officer is General Hurst Romodi. Thanks! You mean Piett wearing the Captain insignia plaque? - my explanation is that he was demoted... For not being able to cope with the responsibility of being an Admiral, hence why he's not afraid of Vader anymore in ROTJ. As far as I remember, he was never addressed to as Admiral in the movie. The credits calling him an Admiral are wrong Totally agreed. That's why I would've liked TLG to realise a Death Star Conference Room, and more affordable ABY Lieutenant and Admiral minifigures
-
Why, thanks! Yes, that's the idea - I believe Vader had trouble with distinguishing BBY ranks, that's why he called every officer a 'commander' in ANH, so the simplified ABY system was developed

One of the infinite reasons why I don't trust Wikipedia's historical/political articles!!! No offence, @Sentinel_Brix. I am glad you agree with me

I hate being political here, but I don't really see any controversy here - she consciously did outright Nazi propaganda and denied the facts of their atrocities after the war. Her film "Triumph of the will", in particular, inspired the Rebel awards ceremony scene from ANH. George Lucas clearly didn't understand what he was doing when creating Star Wars... Anyway, I disagree with comparing an "above politics" holoactress with a propagandist

Here's how my Star Wars MOCs are displayed: ANH characters with Lambda Shuttle in the background - it didn't fit into the cabinet. An Imperial cruiser (NOT Star Destroyer!) from ANH WIP can be seen: Aside from ANH, my main focus is on Thrawn's war on the New Republic - though it goes 'slightly' different, than how Zahn described it. The Imperial Army is lead by Field Marshal Cody and his aide Major Enric Pryde (on the left). Major General Veers is, sadly, still absent: The Imperial Starfleet is, of course, led by Thrawn, pictured here with his bodyguards Tag and Bink, captain Enoch, Pellaeon and Moden Canady (far left) - captain of the Super Dreadnought Ravager, the Flagship of Gallius Rax: Sadly, I don't have many New Republic commanders - General Madine's minifigure is very hard to acquire. The two on the right are an Army officer and a soldier - I am planning to increase their numbers, especially for my New Republic troopers: I hope I am not too off-topic... I just disagree with the Canon in general. The only things I consider Canon is the OT, the rest is for borrowing headcanon ideas. A Starfighter commander also wore a black uniform in ANH I succeeded in solving the rank plaque mystery... By ignoring canonical ranks of characters. My idea was that the plaques seen in ANH are definitive for the Early Empire's Military, and were replaced with more simple ones later (when Vader became Supreme Commander); Taggi is a Starfleet commander, NOT a general. The result is this table: The funny thing is that Yularen is still a colonel, while Romodi is still a general... Which is good somehow

I disagree with the official Canon. In the OT, we saw only Sandtroopers wearing pauldrons. I personally think they are worn to protect the shoulder from a powerful weapon's (like the T-21 blaster) recoil (I am not quite sure about that). I imagine the colour indicating the Sandtrooper's specialisation, not rank (black/no pauldron for regular trooper, white for mounties, orange for commanders). I don't think Stormtrooper commanders wear pauldrons - in fact, they didn't even wear armour in ROTJ. They may wear a helmet and chestplate like Veers. Black uniforms distinguish lieutenants and lower ranks, not Stormtrooper officers (I am strongly against the idea that Stormtroopers are an elite unit - they act like ordinary foot soldiers in the OT) It's all just my headcanon, though based on multiple long observations. Sorry for being off-topic...
