Hello again,
I’d like to address one piece of the snowtrooper armor specifically. It’s been a continuing topic of debate and a personal pet peeve of mine. Many of you, I’d even say most wear your ab plate as you see it displayed on the touring LFL snowtrooper. Let me ask you all a question: Do you think that the person in charge of assembling that display was the same person that designed the armor? You’ll notice that the top of the ab plate is the same shape as the bottom of the chest. This was an intentional design. When worn in the correct position, the ab lays flat above the cod and just inside the chest contour. Otherwise when it’s upside down, the top of the ab is always shoved behind or overlapping the cod and rubbing on the bottom of the chest. Some may argue that the snowtroopers in the film wore their abs in the same fashion as the LFL display. The truth is that the majority did not. Every film has it’s errors and costuming errors are common. Simple logic will tell you which way to wear a snowtrooper ab correctly but the choice is yours.
