    ESB Chest Display Sequence

    I posted some of these informations here ==> Mauricemeyer's Chest Display Project but because there are much to say about the chest display, I decided to do a new thread.
    It's hard to tell how many sequences are (were) in total, but looking to the ESB stills from the Gallery and the screen captures (my own too) I managed to do a 7 step sequence and even to calculate a time period between most of these sequences.

    Note that the images in the right side are not included in the final sequence because I didn't saw it used in any of the scenes.
    The first six sequences are from one of the carbon chamber scenes while the 7th sequence is from the dining room scene:

    Other scenes that prove these sequences are the following ones:

    esb-sequence-02.jpg esb-sequence-05.jpg esb-sequence-03.jpg

    I can't tell for sure wich kind of digi characters they used, but for me is this type:

    esb-digi-2.jpg

    This is the sequence with the time periods between them, wich I calculated watching the first scene (the carbon chamber one) frame by frame.

    Note that the first and the last two sequence's time period is approximated because the scene didn't show the full sequence.



    Non ESB Hero chest display facts
    --------------------------------
    It seems that for ROTJ they used other type of digital characters:

    rotj-chest-display.jpgrotj-stunt-chest-display.jpg

    The first chest display is the ROTJ Hero (a repainted ESB Promo #1 chest plate) while the second image is a ROTJ Stunt (the repainted ESB Hero chest plate)

    Another strange thing is that for the Supertrooper/Pre-Pro #1 they used only 4 digits (these were only prototypes), and the same scheme was present on the Pre-Pro #3 too (if the images don't lie):

    pre-pro-1-chest-display.jpg esb-promo-chest-display.jpg pre-pro-3-chest-display.jpg

    But for the Pre-Pro #2 (and maybe for the other two ESB Promo suits too?) it seems that they already used the 5 digit chest display:

    pre-pro-2-chest-display.jpg

    This is my interpretation of the ESB (and non ESB) chest display and its sequence and is in no way a 100% proven statement.

    Re: ESB Chest Display Sequence

    Nice detective work once again. This is the sequence I came up with, by no means is it perfect but I did spend some decent time going through stills and the movie in HD.
