Now that computer analysis of the images shows that the "Demolitions" variant has a separate no-button shirt and pants, it reminds me of the "Rebel Vanguard" heavy weapons trooper from Battlefront I. I think they're supposed to be the same uniform, except that in the game they made the jacket black to look more like the Rebel Fleet Trooper. I always wondered why it extended over the shoulders, when the RFT of course does not. If they started with our "Demolitions" trooper as the source then did a simple recolor it makes perfect sense. Even the belt pouches match.

I originally thought that the "shirt/pants" crewer was wearing bdu's similar to the Computer Tech in the Home One briefing scene, but the Falcon hallway deleted scenes tell a different story...no pockets (see below). Also note the color differences between the shirt/pants and worksuits which were light grey. I would say that the shirt/pants were tan. Finally, I would suggest that we simply call this character "Falcon Crew" instead of gunner/demolitions expert. I also think that Cracken (wearing shirt/pants) shows leadership in the hallways, so maybe the shirt/pant outfit denotes officers???

Notice the Hoth badges on the bottom two images plus a good look at the collar closure in the last image!

brand-new screengrabs. Awesome!! Looks like the Hoth badge is on the grey coverall.

If a change in nomenclature is made to Falcon Crew as an overall classification, I feel it should be split into the two categories, vs having Falcon Gunner as a separate costume.

thanks for posting these images, they show a great level of detail

Great screen caps, Todd!

I could see the Hoth badges as an optional item for Demolition Gunners. Thoughts on that?

Yes, I agree that the Hoth badges should only be optional. I tried to see if they were on all of the various actors, but the results are inconclusive. The Sullustan crewer did not have the Hoth badge I'm pretty sure.

From a military standpoint, I don't see why there were demolition people on the Falcon unless they planned to land in the Death Star!

i think if we can assign them a function we will have a better idea of the terminology for the costume

Thats certainly a possibility.

if it is decided to go that direction, it will be the most wide-ranging costume with the most options of any that I can think of, and I used to be a GML !
