I thought the original suit looked very plausible, like something someone could have changed but hadn’t for years. The second suit was the most stylish version. It looks great in silhouette because of the added illumination. The third one looked off. It seemed to fit less well than the original one and the mask was too uniformly black gloss. There seemed to be a more metallic look to the first two helmets but the third one looked more like plastic covered in thick gloss paint. The worst one was the ROTS mask. Too symmetrical too uniformly surfaced. I would have used an earlier Macquarrie design to underline how the suit will evolve over time yet to pass. I like the melted on in TFA The jagged teeth are a particularly pleasing feature.
