1. Anybody else get creeped out by Chewbacca's fingers? Looking back at old hi-res stills from the OT, he does have fingers, but they were largely covered by his fur. He could have very well had bear claws that could pull a trigger for all we really knew. But episode VII put right into our faces that Chewy has long, ape-like digits, and man, are they unsettling. I just... geh... the more man-like Chewbacca gets, the more disturbing he becomes. Just... keep those things, and anything else you might have protruding out of your fur, tucked safely away, Chewy.
2. Stormtrooper under armor is from JC Penny's. At first when Finn strips out of his armor and don's Poe's jacket, all I noticed was that he had black underclothes on, which fits the idea that the Stormtroopers have black body stockings on underneath. But when I started paying attention, I realized that his pants were a bit loose. And had pockets. According to the Visual Dictionary for the movie, his under clothes are a 'temperature controlled body glove' with 'self-sealing mesh'... which, I guess, is code for elastic at the wrists.
So, just remember, under that hardened, intimidating Plastoid Armor, all those troopers are wearing some Dockers and a reasonable sweater.
