Well, there you go: one down, one more to go! According to the Technical Commentaries, the Grand Moff insignia is a bit different from Tarkin's. What's your flavor:

I like the Tarkin style the best. Thanks for the support guys.-Grand Moff Conway

 

Woo! You got a honory title! And absolutely deserved.

There really isn't a difference between the first (top) and second one, and the third and fourth (bottom) one; those are just different pictures of rank cylinders (in case anyone was confused...and thought Scath had lost it ).

 

 

EDIT: Hey, cool, Paul got it already! Though the picture of the insignia doesn't seem to be working correctly.

The bottom two are for Grand Moffs? I thought that six red and six blue were Fleet Admiral (Piett and Ozzel)?

Rank insignia are not only based on the squares, but also the rank cylinders. Fleet Admiral does indeed have the same amount of squares, it merely lacks a rank cylinder...which is strange because less rank cylinders means a higher rank.

 

...Scath, where did you get the red-blue insignia? This is the page I had been referring to when I mentioned the different schemes. Or...did you end up getting off the files I sent you and, thus, I was wrong?

Thanks for all of the assistance fellows. SOCL do you know if the picture of my rank insignia will be working sooner or later? Not complaining just wondering.-Grand Moff Paul Conway

Scath has lost it...

That can be fixed. Good for you, Paul. Hope you enjoy it!

[Mad78]

Well done GMC you really deserved it.

[Guest Scathane]

That means: Rank down, insignia to go.

You haven't got one yet. Could you tell me which of the insignia I posted above you would like (unless you've got another insignia yourself, in which case you should send it to me by email)?

[Paul]

Scathane- Since I am color blind what I see may not be the same as what you see . But give me the third one please. Thanks-GM Paul Conway

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

From what I understood from the chart SOCL linked to, the last two Moff insignia you provided are not for Grand Moffs, but for regular fleet officers. The third colomn contains the insignia for ranks relating to commands such as those of Grand Moffs

It's blue and red. Will do.

Sorry, I didn't understand a word of what you just typed. The different charts have to do with different schemes; as far as what they mean, that's anyone's guess.

Yes, so it seems. But Paul wanted the insignia that Grand Moff Tarkin wore in the movies, and the one he has now is it.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

So Paul wanted this: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/6355/SWGallery/tarkin.jpg

and got this: http://www.swrebellion.com/modules/Forums/images/ranks/grandmoffdef.gif

I'm confused .

[Lord_La_forge]

What"s wrong with it?

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

When I looked at the chart that SOCL linked to I got the impression taht the rank insignia Paul has now was for a regular fleet rank, such as Fleet Admiral, and that the insignia for Tarkin was the only Grand Moff insignia there is. Am I wrong in that

Well, in theory there is an insignia that is red and blue only for the rank of Grand Moff, but I have yet to find it. I do, though, see your point. The insignia Conway has is not that of a grand moff. In fact, it is of a rank lower than Fleet Admiral (due to the added cylinders).

 

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a prick there, Scath.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Quite so (not about the prick thing ).

 

I was under the impression that the rakn of Grand Moff was strictly a political rank, but that they were given command of the forces on duty in their sectors.

 

If one follows that chart is seems to explain the confusing rank system in ANH, and why the system used in ESB differs so greatly.

[Guest Scathane]

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a prick there, Scath.

Not more that youy usually do!

 

Listen, GMC wanted his insignia Tarkin style. I think the picture GAT posted points out that that's exactly what he got...

[Trejiuvanat]

If you look closely at the picture, you'll see that the three lower right squares are yellow.

[Mad78]

I also noted that.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Exactly, that's why I posted it. Also, the blue squares are on the top of that picture, while GMC's are on the bottom. Just pointing things out.
