[2021] New reskins found in datamine

Those look fake.

Reason one: just look at the faces, thats an Anakin photo badly photoshopped

Reason two: If we were gonna redo the faces wed remodel the body as well but Lukes body is in the old cartoony style and very low poly, Anakin still has his huge hulk hands. Makes no sense, plus Lucas would never approve that.

Reason three: Models get redone for reasons suck as reworks, use in an event or opportunity. If theyre redoing the First Time User Experience that WOULD give them an excuse to redo the first set of models the player would get, I definitely would push for that, but it would never make it to a build that you can datamine without the rest of the stuff like updated icons (which they did for JKA but not Luke)

Stranger things have happened and I could be wrong but my guess is that this is just somebody trying to get their 15 minutes.

Not sure at all! Ive been gone for a year + and enough people have left the team so they can easily change some pipelines. If its legit then I hope they make further changes cause the realism of the faces isnt congruent with the stylization of the body.

I said “used in an event” like, you know, the JKL event.

JKA got two rounds of edits, one for the Padme event where we made small changes and two because we wanted to be consistent with GAS (opportunity)so we changed his face. That didnt work so we reverted.

If these models are getting edits now its because they'll be featured in a new event (GL Kenobi) or like I said, updated new player experience with Farmboy Luke getting the face from the JKL model.

Lol, different reasons and different leads at the time. I was around for GAS but wasnt a lead back then. Once I became a lead my priority was “no more GAS” and started a new pipeline which made SLKR, RH Poe, Cara Dune, etc.

Also stylistic discrepancies are usually not approved. The face on GAS isnt popular but the model is consistent within itself. In these leaked reworks they are not, photoreal face with a cartoonish body is a problem.

Eh, upvotes, who cares

Its an informed opinion so even if Im wrong, the reasons are still valid so its worth typing so players get some insight on our (previous lol) process

Aaand if you’re scared of being wrong on the internet, well, thats you. More fun to speculate and participate with a community.

That makes sense, I wish you would stop doing all these things lol but I get it, people wanna see the goods.
