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:
![]()
![]()
I can't tell for sure wich kind of digi characters they used, but for me is this type:
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:
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):
![]()
![]()
![]()
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:
![]()
This is my interpretation of the ESB (and non ESB) chest display and its sequence and is in no way a 100% proven statement.

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.
