But I don't fully understand, because ALL the images we are basing the costume on are CGI!, even those in the movie, so what would be the criteria to use?: which CGI images do we follow and which ones we do not?.

I agree this is correct/accurate and likely a final look before they animated them.

That is why I consider the buckle color issue as another new detail that emerges, like the elbow detail or the different colored knee straps, or even the ribbed shoulder bell (which if I'm not mistaken, it was found in one of these images, not in the movie), etc.

Agree on the buckle colors. Regarding the 'elbow detail'; it's just one GM in one shot. If it could be substantiated with another source I'd believe it, but to me it's just weathering/scuffs.

I really believe this one is clear enough in the 360 image. I can clearly see it, and I think everybody can.

Yeap.

I will definitely try to incorporate all the details possible, and I think that for future costumes and builders, if we really want to go towards a better costume, it would be good to continue researching and contributing with what we find. That was my intention. I'm just sharing something I consider new and that may be interesting to someone.

Agreed--that's how we will keep improving to make the most accurate GM's

Its just too bad that all we have to work with is a few seconds of screen footage and computer images

keep lookin and you will find a new detail every day, gentle giant has this reference direct from lucasfilm, no one can give this original??? and you must consider keep an eye on the
minibust colors too they have the best reference

Yes, I can't believe we can't get at least the hi-res version of the 360º turnaround. It would be so clarifying. I'm becoming tired and frustrated for trying to see what's almost impossible. I'm building the backpack right now, and I can't tell you how much work it is giving my just to try to see how it is. I'm not talking about the work on the backpack itself, but looking every image and the movie and the images again just to understand the shapes and components. If we'd have that image, all of this would be solved, and we would definitely have a better costume.

I'm not sure, I can't remember, but I think I read somewhere that someone contacted LFL to get higher res images?. Anyone know if this is correct?. Does anybody know if it possible to find a way to contact them or someone to get better images?

I wish, this would really help.
