    So, is this our first "official" look at what the TIE Pilots look like for TFA? No changes really.

    It's cut off. It was cut off of the other thing we saw too, but you can at least tell it's the Falcon.

    There are actually a few changes, most notably the helmet which not only has the altered filters but some sort of "crown" on top as well. It's best seen in this gif from the second teaser.

    No, they've been all over the second trailer.

    I must be missing something. I don't see any TIE pilots wearing black in the second teaser. The only people wearing black are in this still, and I think they are New Order officers, not pilots. I don't see any in the hanger scene either.

    The pilot is in the gif I linked above. There was some debate in another thread and I believe consensus was that it was definitely a regular fighter pilot and not the chrometrooper in different gear, as some thought.

    This sounds like the old question of "is the TIE fighter black or chrome."

    But even if that isn't Phasma, that pilot is in silver/chrome, not black, right? The Lego is in black. Not being argumentative but just not seeing it.

    Generally it seems the darker parts are black, albeit a very shiny or even "chromed" version of black, whereas the suit under the armor kind of has a more "chromed gray" look to it. So far that's all we have to go on though. Could just be the circumstance of lighting, but even the white stormtrooper armors seem more reflective in TFA than in the other films.

    EDIT: Actually to describe the black portion best (in my view), I'm thinking of some speakers I have that have a "piano black" finish. Very shiny and reflective, but definitely black.

    I think they are more like Deathstar gunners, they have a closed helmet with a 'beaker' like front and those are standing in the foreground, yes.
    But I'm talking about the two pilots in the background, each standing beneath a TIE Fighter, next to its 'wing/foil'.

    You're correct in that it's a similar guy standing in the foreground, but I agree with @LRSVDR in the back it looks to me like a pilot. Notice that the slope of the helmet visible is towards the front, just how the pilot looks in the TFA teaser. Also, they happen to be standing directly underneath/beside TIE fighters.

    Are you kidding? The pilot is LITERALLY blacker than Terry Crews.
