Lit Clothes and Fashion in the Galaxy Far Far Away

oh my... how could I not get it? ... really I did not... dammit... I am loosing my edge!

 

So Clothes and Fashion in the Galaxy Far Far Away have existed for two weeks now so I though that it would be time for a theme week; and we begin with… JEDI WEAR!

We begin with the classic look




Sadly I could not find any better pics of old Ben; my computer is having some problems

 

He finally beat that game. Take that Zaarin!

 

Some pre-Clon war robes

 

From the Flirt Junkies, Ho! Romance, Sex, and Erotica in the Galaxy Far Far Away, 2.0 thread

Do anybody know if those clothes belong to any culture/sub-culture or have any history to why they look like that?

 

There is no sub-culture to these clothes, because they were created by developers for gamble packs so people will spend their money trying to find gear that looks sexy. There is absolutely nothing, lore-wise, that justifies outfits like this (except maybe tying the first one somehow with Leia's Slave Bikini).

 

They are obviously from that John Carter planet from Marvel. Shiva IV.

 

The first one possibly but #2 and #3 lacks the gold and jewellery you usually find on Shiva IV clothes, but than again this is tOR-era, so it could be how Shiva IV people dressed in that time

 

Given that Disney did a John Carter movie, I'd find it hilarious if John Carter was retconned to happen in the Star Wars universe...

 

you say hilarious; I say mega wizard!

 

hahhahhahaha,,
I can't even control my self
A Senator wearing bed sheet??

 

Back to Jedi apparel!

The out of universe inspiration for the traditional jedi wear are rather clearly inspired by samurai garbs but the material and the robes gives a more monk like appearance. As seen by the previously posted images the pre-Empire jedi don't have an real uniformed look but they more-or-less all have the same silhouette and by using the same materials they give an united impression.

Also in universe it is stated that the jedi robes resemble the robes of countless other religious orders that you find all over the galaxy.


Now with that out of the way, lets look at a group of jedi from around 4.000 years ago: the First WatchCircle



They share the "traditional" jedi silhouette but unlike later jedi their clothes are from many different material and colours and some of them are rather ornamented and/or look expensive.

 

I always liked Lucien Draay. He reminded me of a more hardcore version of Obi-Wan. He also had some really cool training robes...but he was a bit of a snot as a teen.

 

Thanks to Revanfan1, even more jedi apparel from that era

 

Lets take a look at dug fashion

 

Dugs really like wearing vests.

 

Dugs are sort of like... bikers. There needs to be an in-universe Dug-swoop-gang equivalent to the Hells Angels.

 

Personally, my favorite detail is how 90% of all Dugs are required to mimic Sebulba's banded arm-boot/glove things. "No," says TCW, "they can't be Dugs if they don't have forearm things covered in straps! No sleeves, no things that just stay up on their own. STRAPS AND BANDS AND BARE BICEPS OR GTFO!"

 

Do anybody know what this kind of magnificent moustache is called?

 

Looks to be a "French Fork"

 

Isn't that a type of beard?

 

I think you already have the right word for it.

 

He also seems to have chin fur so seems to be a beard, though kind of hard to tell.

 

First time I read DE I was more squicked out by the fact that the Emperor had a doll body than by the fact that the fact that he was naked. Now I'm not sure which one is more gross.
