    I thought at the end of TPM when anakin was wearing the lighter ones, those were what he would end up with.(yeah i know he grew up)

    I suppose lucas did it to resemble the dark anakin but i just would've prefered the lighter more traditonal robes. Anyone else agree?

    And don't compare his robes to jinns anakin's are way darker.

    I like it the way it is. I love that kind of symbolism. It was used with Luke in the OT as well. ANH - white, innocent. TESB - gray, more experienced. ROTJ - black, confident, bordering on the dark side.

    I love Anakin's AOTC outfit, it's very cool. I like how the leather jerkin makes it very non-conventional, without being over the top. And of course, the comparisons with Vader's robes.

    It could quite possibly end up being my second favourite costume design in the entire saga.

    i agree his jerkin showed his uniqueness also it falls right along with the story line

    I loved the darker robes. It was just one more piece of symbolism in the movie. Actually, I didnt like the leather thing. I think it would have been interesting if the robes looked a little more like Darth Maul's from TPM. Now that was a great costume!

    I too like the AOTC outfit a lot, though it
    took me more than a half year till I noticed that Anakin has cut-out sleeves and not a regular robe.

    Strange thing is that I have a pic of Anakin
    ( Hayden ) wearing a very light Jedi outfit.
    Nearly the same as Ep 1 Obi Wan´s only a bit more tan.
    That pic was from a German Mad issue.

    I never seen a pic of Anakin with a tan robe anywhere else.

    Curious.

    I like the darker robes. I think they made him look a bit rebelious.

    I like the darker robes because they show what's coming but, I would have been happy with robes like his ghost wears in ROTJ too.

    I love Anakin's darker robes in AOTC. Not only are they cool and stylish ( ;) ), but they are also symbolic to Anakin being sort of a rogue. They also show hints of Vader's clothing, mainly in his cloak.

    I liked the dark robes he had on. He stands out and doesn't look like the rest of the jedi wearing tan...

    The dark (almost black) robes served a very important symbolic purpose. The lighter robes wouldn't have had the same connotations connected to them.
