It's not random! I just proved the pattern! Just because there are exceptions doesn't make it random!

One black on its own does exist, I just can't remember what it is. And three gold and one black also means something, but it just isn't widely used.

It isnt canon so thus doesnt exist.

But it is canon, and it does exist. It just doesn't occur frequently. We've discussed this already...

Yeah, but still makes sense when you look at it. I find IMPs ranks comfusing,.

One black is a chief warrant officer. But what's a regular one?

Hmm? Regular gold? Ensign.

...I know a regular PIP is an Ensign. What's a regular warrant officer's insignia if a CWO is a single black pip? :P

Also, Danny, only the regional unit's bars are complex. The standard pattern is very simple.

Look, I don't really care. I have no intention of learning it either way.

Well, when you fall in love with ANH (spoiler: Leia's not wearing a bra :P), we'll see. :P

I'll watch for that.

And I'm so looking forward to telling you it failed to exceed my expectations. :P

Base your expectations on your opinion of SW. ;)

I will once I've seen the movie. Give it some time. It'll probably be towards the end of this weekend.

Leia might not have a bra, but they put special tape on to stop them bouncing :P

Wouldn't that hurt?

*shrug* It was gaffer's tape, so I dunno. :P

Oh. I was thinking maybe like packing tape. Youch.

...Kinky. :P

If you say so, Max.

ok, what a mind he has :P

Indeed so.
