If I remember correctly, the rank of General was once Captain General. Their next in command are known by the rank of Lieutenant General to this day. As far as I can tell, the "captain" part of the title signified the senior officer, but was later dropped. There's more to it, but that's the jist of what I've read so far on the matter. If you want more info, these links appear to be fairly reliable.

So, this was an existing rank, and still does exist in more ways than one.
What's with Luke using armor? I mean, yeah there's a precedent, if you go by the Clone Wars cartoon(s), but it doesn't seem like Luke's personal style.
By painty, they mean it looks like the skin was made with MS Paint. The only way to get around that is to keep skinning and learn as you go. In this case, it looks like you went heavy on the airbrush.
Also, are you actually going to put weapons on that Imperial ship?

like i said about four times now im an inexperianced and unartistic skinner. as for the imperial ship it already has guns, i used the naboo autoturrets cas the regular ship guns are retarded and have horrible aim. as for luke i mostly just painted over some of the armour parts and made it look like a medium sort of armour. for the most part i also think it doesn't look too good but i don't know what i can do (apart from removing the pockets) that would make it look any better...

If you are using paint.net use the recolor tool, it doesn't look painty and gets the job done on troopers.

the mpa looks nice so far maybe a bit empty but its a wip
i dont want to be harsh, but the luke skin ruines the serious style of the map
i suggest to download gimp or paint.net and try to improve the skins, we dont blame you for not being an artist
it extremely easy to make realistic looking, new colored skins in gimp even for not-artists
just select the part you want to color, select the color and turn the opacity doown or select "multiply" als colorfill/paint mode

sorry i don't quite understand what your talking about. however i found that if you take a lighter version of the color and smudge it really hard into the existing color it looks more like cloth so im gonna get rid of the drawn fold lines and try that instead mite look better (or worse)
