Star Wars Costume Spotlight: R2-D2
Star Wars Costume Spotlight: R2-D2 Hey Star Wars fans! I am still continuing with my series of Star Wars costumes today with one of everyone’s favorite (plus my favorite) Astromech droid R2-D2! When I saw R2-D2 in the exhibit, I was so excited because he’s one of my all time favorite Star Wars character! From seeing the rough draft sketches of him, I learned how R2-D2 first started out from a small domed droid on one wheel to the three legged gadget-carrying droid that he is today. Here below are three images of these composite R2-D2 sketches. Notice in the first sketch he’s got arms. In the second sketch that R2 has eyes, a speaker-looking mouth, a kind of antenna on his head, and a clear glass dome that would reveal the circuitry. Notice here that the third sketch eliminates the arms, the mouth, and the antenna. Here’s some close up photo of R2-D2 as he appeared in episode IV. Let’s look at some of the details about R2-D2 up close. Notice in this photo are some of the parts of R2— his computer hacking arm, his claw arm, a replica of his camera eye, the strange vents on his chest, the smaller kind of arms, one of the blue arms on his chest, and the light/holographic projector. Notice here that a bit of the paint on his camera eye is chipped off. On this close-up, note R2’s chest has some small dirty spots on and looks like the blue paint on the rest of him is starting to come off. More dirt on the...

Star Wars Costume Spot Light: Boba Fett
Star Wars Costume Spot Light: Boba Fett Let’s continue my series of Star Wars costumes today with another fan favorite: the costume of the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett (Jango Fett’s son) from episodes V and VI. Lets take a look at these photos of the costume (some of them are close ups of the details): From looking at the costume it appears quite beat up. You can see the armor is bent in spots, the colors are mismatched, his cape is tattered at the edge, and it looks like some of the paint on his armor and helmet has been chipped off. Clearly, Boba Fett has been living a tough life as a bounty hunter and all—this costume hits all the right...
Star Wars Costume Spot light: Darth Maul
Star Wars Costume Spot light: Darth Maul Hey Star Wars fans! I recently attended the Star Wars costumes exhibit at the Denver Art museum (the exhibit going on tour—click here for itinerary)! I think that it was amazing see all of the different costumes from the entire Star Wars movie universe plus seeing the concept art designs on how the costumes evolved over time. So today I am going to kick off a series of posts of my favorite Star Wars costumes from the exhibit. Today: Darth Maul. First lets look at the early concept art of the costume. Lucas wanted Darth to look like a nightmare so here are the official concepts of Maul: Since looking at these designs, I wonder if Darth Maul look likes he was a member of the Nightsister clan. The second design surprised me because the sketch made Darth Maul look like something from a Horror film. After seeing these initial sketches, Lucas apparently said they were too scary. So the final Darth Maul is mostly robes, black leather books and that iconic read...
