Does anyone here know of any good sites where people make and sell Jedi robes?

I am tempted to dress up from Episode III (wanted to for both I and II but never got around to getting any kinda costume) and I suck at sewing, anyone know any good sites?

Anyone else planning on dressing up?

:lol Oh well that's not bad, but I would still perfer a hilt for show, I would be terrifyed of shattering the glass of the 'blade', would kick ass to have a hilt hanging from the weist witha full Jedi robe though.

Hey if I was gonna do that I would not take a toy, I would get on of those master replica hilts.

Are you mocking me?

I believe that is actually a Master Replica lightsaber but with a blade. I have one of those. Not as impressive as the video suggest. The hilts are better......

Go to a costume shop like Party City and buy one of those friar/monk brown robes, then for the shirt a martial arts gi would be alright.

Actually ,I'd like a high quality robe for halloween. I'd also like a realistic Batman suit, so I can prowl the rooftops at night :lol

I was reading through the official Illustrated ROTS manual or something. And apparently if you have the hood of the robe raised, the Jedi is more stealthy. Something to think about when you have people chasing you.

I always wanted to dress up for one of these shows. Only not as the actual movie, but like, dress up as someone from Star Trek and just talk throughout the entire movie about how gay star wars is, and say shit like "beep-beep. Enterprise, this is Captain. Anakin is a pussy and Worf would kick his ass. Out." or "Captains log stardate 342 point 58 dot six. I just saw the most incredibly homoriffic movie ever made. It's obvious now that
anakin will kill everyone and then be owned by Obi Wan.
". You know.. shit like that. I'd only do it at a midnight showing, cuz I wouldn't wanna piss off the normal people who see the shit at normal times.

Ebay is your best bet, but prepare to pay a lot as people are charging 2-5x the normal asking price due to Ep3 being just a couple weeks away.

Stormtrooper armor was going for over $1,000 (JUST for the armor, not the full suit) on Ebay because people are being greedy right now. Normally you can get the ABS for the armor for about $500-600. Then you just need to get the boots, bodysuit, and neck seal.

I still want to see a spoof of Training Day, Jedi style.

I've always had this image of Obi Wan and Anakin getting in a car, the hydraulics lift up as they drive away to "Still DRE"

The theater where we're having our line event has members of the 501st and Rebel Legion parading. They're in canon costumes and can participate in Lucasfilm-sanctioned events and are hired for appearances at theme parks, etc. (one guy who has a perfect Chewbacca is actually working for Lucasfilm now as one of their 3 Chewies that they use).

I'm non-canon Sith. Basically it's an Ep II/III Anakin style tunic, but the colors are different (black/red) so it's non-canon.

Wow, the sound quality in that was shit. Sounded like he was hitting himself with it every time he took a swing.

The newest Master Replicas Force FX sabers (the EpIII Anakin and the EpV Vader) are much better than the old ones and even the old ones were better than that crap in that video.

Most likely going to buy a EpV Vader tomorrow since Gamestop is selling them for less than Master Replicas does online.

I've got both. The Anakin one feels a bit loose. Whenever I swing it, it makes a small cracking noise that I'm sure isn't good. It's really light too. Lighter than the Vader one, which feels sturdier. The Vader one only has one clashing sound effect from what I can tell, while the Anakin one has about 3-4.

I had a friend in college who did a "Symbolisim in Movies" paper on Star Wars and the light sabers as phalic symbols. Teacher said he had never seen the movies before.

Funny thing was this friend was one of the biggest star wars nerds out there.

Teacher should've failed him for ripping off Mel Brooks.
