Looks like they’re wearing a fitness tracker, too. Is the real reason Tarken chose Alderaan over Dantooine was so that he could get his steps in?

It is if you never take them off.

We don’t get a good look at his face; he could just as easily be a Twi’lek in t-shirt and jeans.

Gafferian?

Likely either that or a Gripian.

The real discontinuity is why isn’t everyone else wearing t-shirts. If you live on a space ship, where careful temperature control is a matter of life and death, then the outfit of the day is not going to be layers of leather-like body armor. You’re going to dress more like the crew of the ISS.

Scripty must have been asleep
Maybe the guy was a Mandalorian who hadn’t earned his armor yet? You have to start somewhere.

I hear Mandalorian denim is the best denim in the galaxy.

These aren’t civilian ships we’re looking at. So they would run the temperature that’s most comfortable for the bulk of the crew which are all wearing body armor.
Also, Star Wars has never been or wanted to be hard sci-fi. Internal consistency is what matters, and concerns about convection currents don’t really fit in films about death stars and space wizards.

Incorrect! Luke was wearing white Levi’s during the whole original movie.

Well I’ll be a Skywalker’s extra crispy uncle! I had no idea. It beats wearing a gold bikini.

I wonder if the crew member will now have to be compensated for appearing in the episode. What’s the pay scale for non-speaking background actors nowadays?
In Austin, TX 5 years ago, it was about $60 take-home pay per 8-hour day.
