‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’: Montross, Main Pirate Hints 'Chancellor Palpatine' In Tatooine, Description Leaked
More concept photos from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" take viewers to the desert planet of Tatooine and its inhabitants. So far the dry plains are believed to be Kira's home refuge. However, the latest photos reveal she is not the sole occupant as some "dirty and scruffy-looking" pirates supposedly also inhabit the planet.
Jason Ward over at Makingstarwars claims he's seen concept photos of six pirates that will be featured in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." According to fans over at thecantina, one pirate shows a resemblance to Montross. As per Comicvine, Montross is a ruthless warrior and a member of Jaster Mereel's True Mandalorians during the civil war.
Ward described the pirate in Tatooine as a short fat man with metallic claws for his right hand. He also wears matching black pants and boots and a black smock that goes down to his knees. This pirate supposedly looks like a "jerk" with his brown cloak on and his hair combed to the side.
Additionally, according to Ward, the Montross-looking pirate also has on "a Han Solo-styled shirt, with a black leather vest." His googles have been upgraded with a piece of technology that pops up on the right side. The pirate is seen with both his hands on his belt buckle and with a rifle strapped to his back. Makingstarwars posted the 1976 concept photo of Montross that somehow resembles the pirate description.
According to TIDMADT from thecantina, Montross' resemblance would explain why the pirate base is in Tatooine. Likewise, it would also tell why there are "some tie-ins with pirates and chrome trooper armour, which could either mean the pirates are the chromies, or they are engaged against the chromies."
The "chromies" would pertain to another Tatooine pirate Ward claimed would be in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Labeled as the "main pirate" Ward claims the photo shows him wearing chrome Stormtrooper bracers and fingerless gloves. He reportedly "has a goatee and slightly long stringy hair." The concept photo shows his groin area and stomach are exposed, revealing mummy-like wrappings with blue overalls wrapped over it up to his chest. He also wears a studded belt and "a cup to project his important parts," where a piece of cloth drapes down from it. Additionally, the alleged photo shows the main pirate wearing a red, tattered cape fastened around him "with a rope he wears like a bandolier." Ward claims he also has a gun holster that appears to strap abound his leg, intersecting with his 'cup.'
However, the second costume of the main pirate in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is supposedly the preferred design. He still looks the same however the blue trench coat he wears reportedly "looks like something Chancellor Palpatine might have worn." But for him he wears it like a "status symbol" among other pirates in Tatooine. Additionally, his costume has a technical piece of metal plate on the chest armor with a tube coming off it. Per ward the main pirate also has on matching gray undershirt and boots and grey pants. However, instead of chrome, his bracers are coloured blue one being spiky almost crow-like in shape.
Again all these concept photos and possible spoilers should be taken with a grain of salt. Whether these pirates in Tatooine or even Montross shows up in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" remains to be seen until the movie comes out.
