I saw the three iterations you did and I kinda liked the first one where you flipped the belt and make it a shoulder strap, maybe adding that back would had been fun (design fundamentals: repetition), seems to be the most iconic thing.
For that kind of character honestly most you could do is think of the setting to make something interesting. For instance if you want to redesign the boots, star wars doesn't seem to put too much emphasize on gravity, even when it takes in space and different planets they all behave like earth and all ships have artificial gravity to boot, which is odd. So maybe designing boots with magnetic latching or to show some kind of vertical movement control, same for gloves honestly, that could be fun, you could also add more armor bits or add new tools he could use, and where to carry them. Mostly yeah you can design just shapes to see what looks cool, but also design with function in mind (to a point since without clear constraints is hard to do functional design ha ha).
This is kinda why I asked you what was your line of thinking when making those design changes, I wasn't as much asking you do defend or explain yourself lol (maybe Jeso pitching in made my comment read differently) but I was really asking you, why did you focused on the boots and gloves, and what purposes did you have in mind for those. That could help discuss other options or details.
In any case, I think for design you can only look at what others do and ask yourself why then go from there. I'm kinda lost inside that as of late, so bring a light if you come into the dark lol, I ran out.
