Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Handmaidens Dresses Hey Star Wars fans! Continuing my Star Wars costume series, this next group of costumes will be the dresses of Queen Amadala’s handmaidens (and herself)! Here are the dresses from the different scenes of the Phantom Menace: This first handmaiden dress was seen during the scenes featuring the planets Naboo, Tatooine (the desert planet), and Coruscant (the capital planet). Though the other handmaidens were seen wearing these dresses, Padme was dressed in one as well while her decoy was dressed in the traditional queen’s dress and makeup. This dress was seen during the throne room scene on Naboo where Padme was having a meeting with the senators while the Trade Federation were starting the invasion of Naboo. This dress appeared during a scene that took place on Coruscant where Padme and Palpatine where having a discussion.

Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Yoda In my continuing Star Wars costume series, this next fan favorite will be of the great Jedi Master Yoda himself! As you may know Yoda stared out in The Empire Strikes Back, The Return of the Jedi, and The Phantom Menace (prequel) as a puppet. Then in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith he was CGI. Now before we go on to the puppet lets first look at these photos of how Yoda started out: Here’s him as a puppet in The Phantom Menace (episode I). Note that the puppet looks like a very old muppet. Here’s the first CGI version of Yoda from Attack of the Clones (episode II). From looking at him note that the CGI makes Yoda look like an alien that could have existed in real life. Here’s the second CGI version of him from Revenge of the Sith (episode III): At the museum, they included a display of one of the puppets from V and VI Now here are some close ups: In this close up notice that the number of wrinkles on the puppet’s face does make Yoda look really old: Check out the string of his necklace–it’s very realistic. The cloak does look like it hasn’t been washed in years. Plus it looks like it’s been bleached out by the sun a bit. Note here in this close up that the sleeve of Yoda’s cloak has a big dirty spot on it. His home planet is pretty mucky, so perhaps that accounts for all the dirt and wear and tear. Here’s the full Yoda...New Rogue One U-Wing and Tie Striker Model Starship set available on Walmart.com

Star Wars Costume Spotlight: Evolution of Stormtroopers Hey Star Wars fans! In my continuing series on Star Wars costumes, today will not only be about the Stormtroopers, but how they evolved over time! At the museum they had an exhibit showing the evolution of the Stormtrooper models: Here’s a photo of the original Imperial Stormtrooper form. As you can see the armor is beat up and dirty. It’s not very streamlined—note the sharper edges. Here’s the next version of a Stormtrooper, this time from the First Order. You can see that the chest angle is not as blocky and sharp edges have been smoothed out. The blaster does look the same as the original blaster, but it’s now black and white instead of all black. The helmet looks more streamlined and more simpler than the original helmet. The shoulder pads are kind of rounded and shorter than the original shoulder pads. Here’s the first version of an Imperial Snowtrooper from The Empire Strikes Back. As you can see the Snowtroopers wear helmets with goggles along with cloths that cover their nose, mouth, and necks. They have more substantial covering over their legs and the rest of their bodies for extra protection against the freezing cold. Here’s the next version of a Snowtrooper but this time this one is from the First Order. The shoulder pads are now rounded and short like the ones from the First Order Stormtrooper except they have black stripes on them. The cloth is gone and has been replaced by an armored mask. This makes these improved Snowtroopers very capable of surviving in extreme cold. Here’s...Star Wars Episode IX
