I am a hard core OT only enthusiast, I have zero problems with the new designs... They seem logical...and am 100% confident that the movie will be great. JJ is screwed no matter what, the OT only fanboys will say it's too much of a departure from the OT and the rest will say it's too much of a rehash of the OT.

JJ is in fact not screwed in my book. Everybody should get a fair shake. Now that being said I do have an issue with anybody taking the newer movies and changing the overall style the first 6 (and yes the prequels sucked) movies were done. The prequels granted are nothing like the the original trilogy as far as story quality, but at least they had the person that envisioned the whole thing at the helm.
JJ on the other hand may just come in and forget all of that by trying to go flashy, which in my opinion he has a habit of dong so. I don't just want eye candy! I want a quality movie that doesn't **** all over where it came from.
They're already changing things the older movies did not have. Since when do stormtroopers reload? The new design of one of the new stormtroopers has a chest rig and to me that's too much like our modern military stuff we see now, not Star Wars stuff. Who knows, maybe my tone will change down the road, but I just think disney's writing is on the wall considering what they did to the new rebels cartoon.

George was the one that came back and went all FLASHY. He also went all Boring. Anything JJ does will be better then the Prequels. lol
Agree but at least it was more original back then. It just looks like they're trying to emulate current military which is not very original.100% agree with this statement. From what I've seen of Abrams' work (and I've seen most of it), this is what he does. Lots of flash and fan service nods and references that make you feel good while watching it, but as soon as it's over and you really analyze what you saw, you realize there was no substance.
I agree that the look of the chest rig on the Heavy Gunner leaves a lot to be desired, but love or hate the new Stormtrooper designs, I would like to point out that troopers carrying extra ammo pouches is nothing new.

I'm not a fan of the chest rig look either, but it's also not exactly accurate to say that the pouches on the sandtrooper were original designs. They are off the shelf WWII magazine pouches, they just looked better.
I think they're going for flash in these movies and not substance as far as design goes.
