Take a look at Clone Wars Obi-wan (realistic) for ideas on the amount of armor.

I also have here a shadowtrooper with Kyle's head, and it could be easier to  work on that since the model is a lot slimmer,

and the fact that the torso/legs.tga are the same with most of the models in JA, makes it easier to create something that resembles CW armors

I have this file by Darth Shiftee ds_troopers.pk3 : it includes Kyle & Luke in storm-,shadow-, snow- and swamptrooper armor.
And I immediately visioned Kyle having only the armor parts over his clothes. I like the idea Shiftee had; Kyle's head on a Stormtrooper model, 

but I thought about going even further with this idea, so I started to work on a skin that looks as if Kyle is wearing the armor over his regular clothes. 

Any feedback is welcome.

There's contact info in readme, so I will be asking Shiftee for his permission to publish the finished project here.

Thank you @NumberWan

The model I suggested could have been ok to work on if it wasn't so bulky/ muscular,  and the head was kinda weird, you're right about that too.

If the head from the Kit_Fisto(1.0) http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/;6028 could be frankensteined onto a jedi_rm model like this for example;



But that requieres a modeller like you originally asked for.   Finding the right model for skinning this seems to be impossible.

A recent image shows what could be a village for Tusken raiders - in that case it may be possible

that Episode 7 will be revisiting Anakin’s painful past, or something Luke experienced as a child.

Then again this may not be a Tusken village but some other location on Tatooine. What do you think?

Former James Bond actor, Roger Moore, was seen visiting Episode VII's movie set.  Moore confirmed this in an interview with BBC Radio.

When asked by the host which scene was being filmed during his visit, Moore answered:

"They were filming something with a lot of mountains and snow,"

So it's possible to see some of the characters also visit the planet of Hoth in Star Wars 7.  For what reason?
In Episode 5 the Rebels had to flee and abandon their new base at Hoth, when the imperials assaulted with the AT-AT walkers.

After the destruction of the DeathStar, the rebels should have no reason to go back to Hoth as it was a hiding place to begin with.

he might be seen in a different film - including the recently announced Obi Wan Kenobi standalone films. 

say what? Obi standalones? what?

So you're not talking about those prisoners, then.    Just rebel prisoners in general. There aren't any that I know of :/

Not that I would have the time to start a new project, but now that you mention it  @IrocJeff, it is kinda disturbing that your mission

is to save prisoners on Nar Kreeta (t2_rancor) more specificly elders, but the characters we see look like runaways from Star Trek.

@DT85

It would actually make sense if he did return as a ghost from the past since at the end of episode 3, Yoda told Kenobi about Qui-Gon "returning from the dead"

which makes me wonder if Qui-Gon was the first Jedi to do so and whether Yoda learned this from Qui-Gon or if he was already aware of such an ability.

In episode 5 Master Kenobi appeared as a ghost most likely because he learned it from his Master via meditation. Obi-Wan helped Luke in his struggle.
Why not do that again with Qui-Gon helping out e.g. Luke or someone else who has chosen the path of the Jedi. That would make a nice add to the film.

Oh my god in underpants what did I just read:

Is it possible that Mace Windu survived his encounter with Sidious?

 

During their fight, it looked like Mace's arm was cut off and he was hit by the force lightning and thrown out the window. But, we never actually see his body.

Seems to be a recurring theme that if you don't actually see a body in a movie, the person might still be alive. Multiple people have had limbs cut off and survived.

Luke Skywalker survived a rather intense session of force lightening with the Emperor. And ofcourse the Jedi are telekinetic:

I'd assume they could stop themselves from falling, or at least slow themselves down enough to land gently. Given that info, it seems possible to me that Mace could have survived.

Samuel L. Jackson's reaction to SW7

“I’m not surprised but totally geeked by the idea of there being more Star Wars. It’s like, okay, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started,

so maybe everyone thinks I’m dead and we’ll find out what happened to Mace Windu. I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that’s still around that didn’t actually die.”

Would he return if asked? Jackson replied:

 

“Hell yeah!… I could do that or be a ghost hologram. I don’t care. I just want to stay associated with the franchise. Not that I won’t because I’ve been in three of them.”

But then again, who wouldn’t want to return to one of the biggest pop culture franchises of all-time?

However - I would ejoy seeing Quin-Gon return as a ghost because he was the one who started ..everything!!
HE was the one who found Anakin, HE brought him to Jedi Council and was determined to train him to become a Jedi.

Qui-Gon Jinn is probably the most important character in Star Wars saga and he should be brought back as a ghost.


 

Bram Stroker's Dracula is my all-time favourite, but last Halloween I had a marathon of all the Halloween movies (1-6?) and Friday the 13th movies.
And Im not a horror fan - I do like zombie films, The Walking Dead series,  but those movies were just scary, and I had to watch them with my girlfriend.
So yeah there I was acting tough and biting my arm just trying not to close my eyes... and she was laughing out loud for those movies... and.. at me

This Halloween I though I'd take it easy and watch Harry Potter


edit: we dont have a halloween map for JKA dont we? that would be cool
 

Now this... should be legit - and it could be from inside an imperial stardestroyer

map objects (.md3) always cast a shadow when you set the shadows to /cg_shadows 3 ..i think that was the cmd in console

so where is this " tr_mesh.cpp "  located `?

move this to "learning how to send email"  -topic

Lando is 89%  because he only needs to say:  " it's not my fault !" 

and probably something slimy-- like " hello.. what have we here... Hi, im Lando Calrissian, and you are? "

very nice work!! but I dont say this often enough :  another hs_reskin 

can I donate blood?

Thank you @Ruxith

I'm looking foreward to finishing that skin, but someone will have to re-weight the model first. Right now I'm learning how to do better terrains for my maps,

so learning how to work on models, would be too much on my plate. I iwll save this README to the .../models/players folder so I wont loose it.

I also remember a physics mod called Stalax, from around 2007-08 Stalax physics were similar to your videos @Xycaleth 

here's an old website http://www.wiremod.com/forum/off-topic/4338-stalax-jedi-academys-revolution.html

..and a fresh link that also has a DOWNLOAD button for Stalax+RP script  http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-academy/addons/stalax-roleplaying-scriptpack

http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Kit_Fisto_Shirtless;118667  would this be ok?  atleast I could give it try. that model seems simple to reskin.

The green one looks fantastic. Are you going to add specular shader?

The grey skin tone is too close to the the color of the shoulderpads and parts of his headgear,

you should either darken the skin tone or make the shoulderpads/headgear parts bronze  e.g.

maybe darken the nostrals too...

meanwhile .. I'd be happy to view some candidates for my skinning project

edit:   even better would be to get an actualy deathstroke model  but Im too stupid to learn how to model

Bad to the bone

yeah thanks @Ruxith, you really shouldn't have done that but I appreciate this. I haven't had the time to contact him.

however.....
 

Can someone fix this for me? Im lucky I noticed this at this point, because I dont feel like working on something like this.
I will have to look for another model to use for my skinpack, probably a mando-- f*cking palpatinesithjediscumlukesdirtyunderpantskyleface
