    Maybe, in the future, if nobody else do it before but not right now.

    I most have completely missed that guy, do you have any pics?

    I've been searching but can't for the life of me find any - they don't appear in any trailers.
    There's a shot either when Finn is leading Poe or when Finn is getting dressed down by Phasma of a small group of them, dressed in black, walking away from camera, and their hats are shaped like Vader's helmet.

    I know the ones. People speculated they were Inquisitors. They were merely workers. Lawl.

    They look like an evolution of the imperial navy trooper to me.

    Could be, but I seem to remember them hauling equipment. Either way, their helmets are straight-up Vaderish.

    Imperial Navy Trooper helmets have always looked Vader-ish.

    My personal favourite outfit also draws from the First Order; these guys at the back here with the sick cloaks:

    I think the guy on the right is wearing one of those Vader hats.

    There is a depiction of them in the Visual Dictionary under "Finalizer Crew".

    So what are your guys' thoughts on the movie's costuming? Spoiler tag to be secure.

    I would say that the most memorable costumes are seen on the gamma-characters like Kanjiklub, the Guavian Death Gang and some of Maz's patrons. Captain Phasma may have been misused but her getup do makes an impression. There is also possible that there was some interesting costumes on Hosnian Prime but there was so little time spend there that it is impossible for me to say.

    When it comes to the main characters do both Poe and Finn look good, even if they are rather boring in design; Ray's clothing are more interesting and I do like the introductory face mask she has even if I think she could have worn it a bit more. Han is rather disappointing in that he has nearly exactly the same clothing as in ANH and I find that a bit lazy, I do understand why they did it since his getup is iconic and they want to keep the look but it is possible to keep the look while variegate it a bit, maybe a duster, a buttoned waistcoat under the jacket, a bandana or similar.

    Interesting when we see Rey in a new getup at the end she not only chose something with similar design to her Jakku clothing but also in a similar colour. I'm a bit surprised that she did not chose something more colourful, I think blue or green would fit her, now when she has the chance.

    Personally so would I have liked to see more variations in costumes among the Resistance members not in uniform or flight suits and I am a bit disappointed that so many of Maz's patrons seems to buy their clothes in the same Smugglers & Scoundrels shop. It would have been nice if all those people, who I guess are supposed to come from all over the galaxy showed larger difference in their fashion and I don't like that brown seems to be the main colour. :(

    One of the best designs in the movie if you ask me.

    What kind of clothing would people like to see in the coming movies?

    Personally I would also like to see costumes that are colourful and/or ridicules looking by todays standard, the galaxy is a big place and unlike what the columnist on Smugglers & Scoundrels says so are there other colours then brown and grey.

    Maybe something along this line:

    Han's look in that last pic gives me life.

    Seeing someone dressed like a Landsknecte would be awesome.

    Why would that not count just because it is not unique to him?

    To me it looks like brigth yellow

    . . . This isn't the thread where we were discussing this.

    It's certainly yellow, but it's not a bright yellow. It's still fairly subdued, almost tan. It and the brown pants still stick to the fairly neutral colour scheme for Luke.

    The flightsuit doesn't count as an expression of Luke's character because all the Rebel pilots have them. It's not an individual characteristic. Yes, he's a pilot, but that's not a unique thing. It doesn't speak to who Luke is as a person.

    This would have made an interesting topic for a thesis paper back when I majored in costume design in college.

    since we were no longer discussing TFA, I thought it was best to move to the clothes thread.

    I will have to disagree, to me the jacket is bright, if pale, yellow and we may have different understanding what colour tan is since i don't really see how it is "almost tan".

    By the same token so could we not discuss Qui-Gon's or Obi-Wan's robes since nearly all jedi wear varation of them. And one of the iconic Pictures of Luke is with the flight suit.

    I know it's iconic, I have it on my shirt right now.

    The whole point of Jedi robes is that they're a uniform. There's a little leeway for preferences, but they're still a uniform.

    I really liked the design of the Guavian Death Gang in Force Awakens, it has a sense of uniformity because they're a "death gang" which makes the one guy who isn't in the getup really stand out as in he's the one not to be messed with.
