    Those Night Troopers look so cool. If I’m not mistaken, there are heavy Japanese influences, their armor wrapped in red cloth and mended with gold, a practice called kintsugi the Japanese use with broken pottery.

      Thrawn has to accept that his troopers aren’t going to be wearing mint condition armor (even Thrawn’s outfit is a bit threadbare in places) but he absolutely will not under any circumstances allow them to not look stylish.

        Diggin’ the guy with the “300/Immortal’s” mask.
        Thought it might be Ezra Bridger for a split second. This is how bad I’ve been influenced by that, “Any click is a good click.’ crowd. Who say the dumbest scat possible to engender a thousand angry clicks. Because, 'Any click is a good click.”

      I thought that was a great touch. The main galaxy had some influences with samurai, especially Vader’s suit, but having this galaxy’s characters dressed in more traditional outfits, it really does set it as a place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
