I already posted where the idea for the repulsor trooper came from, and the storm commando was a unit in the Conversion Pack (albeit with a different model), and I just looked it up on Wikipedia from there.

So - not counting Luke and Mara as "full" Jedi, these next two units are going to be the only "real" "new" Jedi units for DTII. I'm going to show two at once, since both of these borrow hero support units from their "predecessors" in the previous iteration of Dark Times. These are of course an homage to (and the only homage, unitwise) the Force Unleashed's expansion pack.

Hero: Galen Marek

Hidden/Spoiler:

Weapons: Galen Marek's Lightsaber, Force Push, Force Pummel, Force Repulse, Force Grip
Since the "redeemed" Galen Marek didn't have much of a showing aside from the very last part of The Force Unleashed, he makes an appearance here in his "full" light-side character design, wearing the "Jedi Ceremonial Robe" from that game. His hero support unit is (as last time) the Militia Elite (Rahm Kota's hero support as well).

Hero: Sith Stalker

Hidden/Spoiler:

Weapons: Lord Starkiller's Lightsaber, Force Push, Force Lightning, Force Crush, Sith Strike
This, on the other hand, represents the hypothetical dark-side Starkiller that showed up in The Force Unleashed's expansion. Yes, I know he isn't technically called the Sith Stalker, but that is his name here. His hero support unit is the Stormtrooper Commander (Darth Vader's hero support).

Neither of these are "canonically" present in this time period, but I like the character design of both and I figure if we can deal with having Darth Maul show up in the CW era, we can deal with these two "Infinities" characters showing up here.

Along Lord Starkiller's belt lies his collection of lightsaber hilts, as per this pic:

Perhaps you could hex-edit them on there, not only making it more accurate, but also to add...I don't know...something just seems missing from his belt is all. I guess to add color. Otherwise it jsut doesn't look right to me, but I guess I tend to nit-pick like Tean, too.

Not going to happen; if I had thought it would work well I would have done it already. The problem is that if hilts were there, they would clip into the legs since they would have to be weighted to one bone only.

You need to stop taking away my excuses.

I know about tentacles but all of this has been done in a short (and past) time window where I had an XSI demo working. I will give it a try I suppose, but I will have to find a different computer to install the demo on.
