Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Evolution of the Senate Guards
Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Evolution of the Senate Guards Today we’ll take a look at the Senate Guards and how they evolved from the Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith into Sidious’s Imperial Guards from Return of the Jedi! Remember that as Senate Guards they were assigned to guard Chancellor Palpatine, then they guarded him when he revealed himself as Sidious the Emperor. They were then referred to as Imperial Guards. Now let’s look at the three different versions of the Senate Guards: Here’s the first version of the Senate Guards from the Clone Wars series. These Guards look more like Clone Troopers because of the armor and shape of the helmet: Here’s the second version of the Senate Guard from Revenge of the Sith. The helmet of the costume is differently shaped and supports a kind of mohawk that’s split down the middle. The velvet cloak, clothes, helmet, and shoes are blue (except the mohawk which is black): Here’s the third version of the Senate Guards (now an Imperial Guard) from Return of the Jedi. They morphed into a differently shaped helmet without the mohawk. And the color is a more menacing red instead of...

Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben Kenobi)
Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben Kenobi) Today’s costume spotlight will be of the great Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi (referred to as Ben Kenobi by Luke from A New Hope). After the fall of the old Republic and the rise of the Empire, Obi-Wan went into exile on Tatooine to watch over Luke in hopes of training him to becoming a Jedi (though Uncle Owen didn’t want him to). Obi-Wan was shown to be living in a small hut that was at the edge of the dune sea. You’ll also remember that during the Lightsaber duel on the Death Star, Obi-Wan made a sacrifice of himself in order to inspire Luke to become a great Jedi like his father before him. Here’s the full Obi-Wan costume: In this close up you can see the dirty spots on the robes indicating that they haven’t been washed in years. Also the robes are falling apart because of the holes and the tatters that are along the edges: In this close up of the belt you can see that the belt buckle is rusted. The clip that Obi-Wan uses to carry his lightsaber is a bit rusted as well: In this close up of the bottom of the robe you can see a hole near the edge: From the looks of the costume Obi-Wan hasn’t replaced his clothing since he has been living in exile on...

Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Tusken Raiders (Sand People)
Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Tusken Raiders (Sand People) Today’s costume spotlight are the inhabitants of Tatooine—the Tusken Raiders (also referred to as the Sand People). If you recall the Tusken Raiders are primitive creatures who can be hostile to local settlers of Tatooine. In episode I, a scene showed several Tusken Raiders camping out on the Canyon Dune Turn during a Pod race. In episode II, another group of Tusken Raiders were killed by Anakin Skywalker because they had imprisoned and tortured his mother Shmi. In episode IV Luke was attack by a Tusken Raider while he and C-3PO where looking for R2-D2. When that Tusken Raider and his friends where about to take Luke’s speeder apart, Obi-Wan managed to scare them off by doing an imitation of a deadly predator called Krayt Dragon. Side note: Tusken Raiders use Bantha’s for tansportation and they always ride single file to hid their numbers. Plus, once easily started, they often return in greater numbers. Here’s the full costumes of a male Tusken Raider (right) and a Female Tusken Raider (left). The male Tusken Raider’s masks have high angle lenses to protect their eyes and scope out any intruders, and a leather-wrapped mouth to filter out the harsh air. The female’s mask looks more like a knight’s visor: In this close up you can see that the top of the weapon is rusted and so is the lenses on the mask. On the sleeve of the robe, there’s a dirt stain: In this close up, there’s a bit of a stain next to the mask. The metal of the bronze mask looks like a lizard’s skin. ...
