I knew I already saw that…
To be honest I think it looks cool! Why not? Bring back the armor, capes and/or swords!
Exceedingly cool.
She’s the upgraded model of protocol droid and I dug it!
I imagine plate armor is uncomfortable as fuck… Capes are dope though, but I can imagine them getting caught in various things causing fatal accidents (escalators, revolving doors, moving trains, etc.)
Its not difficult to engineer a bit of safety into a cape. The clasps holding the cape around your neck/on your body can be designed to have a low breakaway strength to prevent strangulation(150N is a typical force). This is a feature designed into most safety helmets. Its secure enough to never fall off unintentionally, but weak enough that it removes the risk of strangulation.
