Imperial Officer Uniform

I have joined the 501st. My first costume was an imperial officer uniform. This is the build:

I started a worksheet for the parts and pieces I wanted to have. Some of these are not applicable to all costumes.

I wanted to replicate a uniform from A New Hope to get imperator status.

The Unknown Sub Lieutenant that Han shot first when entering the cell blocks was the uniform I chose to replicate.

Unknown sub lieutenant

Uniform style : Imperial staff officer (ANH variant)

Gloves : None

Rank bar : 2 / 3 red buttons

Code cylinders : 2 blue tipped dosimeters

Belt boxes : 2 vertically aligned

Weapon : Merr Sonn Power 5

Holster : Yes

Dialogue : Yes

Actor : Malcolm Weaver

Special : Another Han shot first death

I started with the boots as many suggest. I picked these up on eBay. They are real leather, equestrian boots. They have a pull inside. Nice and shiny.

I then created my own rank bars with correct buttons and aluminum. I milled the aluminum to allow for flush mounted magnets.

Just for fun I made this. It isn’t accurate, but it is a fun little piece.

Next I worked on the blaster.

I lathed some aluminum and cut it in half for the Power-5 Blaster.

The flash hider is from Dark Energy Creations.

I finished the blaster with a switch for stun/blast setting, a red/blue led, multiple sounds, and a recharge port.

Holster was from eBay.

Belt was BPfau and boxes were made by me.

Code Cylinders from Philo

The Uniform itself was a cosplaysky. The uniform fit without having to order a custom one. I did however have to take in the Jodhpurs and add new snaps.

Finished!
