Star Wars 7 A Force Awakens or A New Set of Armour...

[Captain Nebula]

Just wondering if anyone caught the new trailer and wondered about the chrome trooper? By that I mean is that a suit of Reflec Armour they're wearing? I am assuming its resistant to energy weapons including laser swords or the Star Wars equivalent... and I couldn't help thinking... Cylons or Traveller? Who chromed it first?

Anyone know?

George Lucas had references to "Chrome Companies" in his original drafts of Star Wars. I'm sure it had something to do with his racing days.
