From the Star Wars Visual Dictionary:

“Officers in field units may wear coloured shoulder pauldrons as high-visibility rank indicators.”

“Squad leaders, who lead units of seven troopers, wear orange shoulder pauldrons.”

What is a "pauldron" anyway? I have no definition anywhere.

Yes I am British - well spotted! And what's wrong with my name? Why is it not "easy"? What would you call me?

Well, Alan, there were several cunning clues which led me to deduce that you are British. The first was that you keep spelling "colour" correctly. The second was that your location in your profile is listed as being "Nottingham, England". And I don't think we need a third.

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I pronounce color as "keller".

Look up, way up, and I'll call Rusty.

Or, I'll call the SWTC.

Or, I'll call the link in Spike's post three above yours.
