Title: Is this Jedi enough?
Post by: BatMike90 on February 15, 2019, 02:03:06 PM
Is this Jedi enough or do I add more brown?

I have another idea where I would be in all black with Batman guantlets and a scalloped black rope.

And this picture is awesome...

If you’re feeling crafty here’s a good resource for you Mike.  I keep planning to build some of this stuff, but I just haven’t got the time.

I don't think brown is needed, you've got a sick black/blue combo already and I think the brown would clash a little especially if it was just a single piece of the costume. Looks fantastic!!

Blue and Black is reminiscent of the precious Nemo robes! :D love the color choice!

Well, Batman doesn't usually kill, so I guess he could be a Jedi. But, he'd be one bad mother------.

The robes look good. I've gotta go with Lady Revan, blue and black indeed has a Knights of the Old Republic vibe to it.

I agree, it's a very KOTOR Jedi look.

Should I add my black robe too?

Why not? People may complain, but let them complain. Let's not forget there have been Jedi who have worn black (Luke, for one) and Sith who have worn brown (Dooku, for one.) I say go for it, make the costume look the way you want it to look. 8)


Title: Re: Is this Jedi enough?
Post by: Infinit01 on February 18, 2019, 06:28:17 AM
I agree with SFD.  Wear what you like since it's your character and yours alone.  Jedi did wear black

Master Luke is always my go-to answer when people ask me, why black? 
I know Anakin Skywalker, Luminara Unduli and Barris Offee wore black robes, with Anakin and Barris eventually falling to the Dark Side. I know this doesn't help my case but my character isn't a Yoda or an Obi-Wan. My character is more like Qui-Gon or Mace, if we stick to "main stream" characters. My character would not by a "Grey Jedi" or "Dark Jedi" by any means, my character follows the Light but is not all about "Code".



I am not going to lie, I like to be different, I am rebellious and I never follow "trends".  And cream/khaki doesn't look good on me.

That's what it's all about. Who says that things have to be the same all the time?  This is make believe after all and our interpretation of it is part of what makes it so interesting and fun.

Different is good. You've gotta do you. While there's nothing wrong with traditional Jedi robes, you'll stand out more in a group of Jedi at a con or other gathering, as you'll have a more unique look.

Agreed. I like the different Jedi and Sith look

I can't make up my mind which one I like better. They are both Jedi enough.

You don't think it comes off as too "Anakin", my girlfriend brought it up and now I can't get that comment out of my head. I like Anakin but my character isn't an Anakin rip-off.


Title: Re: Is this Jedi enough?
Post by: tx_tuff on April 15, 2019, 10:25:14 AM
I don't see Anakin, although Anakin's tabbarbs would probably go better with a Batman theme.

Anakin's were all black so they don't look Anakin inspired to me but still looks really Jedi like TX has mentioned.

Anakin's obi, undertunic and pants were brown, only difference between mine and his.

Point!
I'd say it looks great. I see the Jedi here. Beyond that, the most important part is for you to like it, to feel like this represents YOU in the Star Wars universe.

If you like the blue, go for it! I would probably had some sort of green to mine for a Jedi. Right now, my only acceptable Jedi cosplay is all black except for the outter layer (a "coat" with hood but no sleeves made of white leather with black leather on the edges). I plan on making something new in the future and I thought I'd make it mostly brown and green.

Nobody ever said all Jedi only wore cream and brown (though they certainly were the main colors). It doesn't look like the whole outfit was standard issue for the Jedi. I think it was kind of like the lightsaber, the young ones would pick and choose to make their own outfit, sometimes based on what they saw from other members of the order. That's my opinion at least.
