Welcome back to another installment of the Galactic Style Guide, the series where we break down the ‘Star Wars aesthetic’ in order to help you create a more authentic ‘outer persona’! While the Galactic Starcruiser may no longer be taking on passengers and has instead been gathering dust for the last year, there’s never a bad time to do a little research and try to improve your ‘Star Wars eye’. Following up on our last entry, this month we’re looking at a specific type of soft, in-universe luggage, duffel bags!
Just a quick FYI/programming note before we begin: this entry is fairly quick and dirty, but there’s a good reason: my wife and I bought a house last month, and real life takes priority over hobbies, naturally! We’ve made lots of progress, but we’re still knee-deep in renovations and expect to be well into the New Year, but hopefully things go smoothly and I can get back to more regular and in-depth posting before too long. With that said, let’s get started!
Dark Horse’s Republic #80 (2005) with art by Doug Wheatley features padawan Noirah Na in the aftermath of Order 66, lugging around a large duffel bag as a backpack. Plus, for those following along after our last entry, a suitcase! What d’you know: it checks all of our boxes (interesting shape, logo and text free, muted color, and pre-Rollaboard design)!
