Welcome back to the Galactic Style Guide, where we break down the ‘Star Wars aesthetic’ in order to help you create a more Galaxy-accurate ‘outer persona’! It should be pointed out that it’s often very difficult to determine a character’s base layer, due to layering being such a key part of the galactic aesthetic. I was excited at first to dig through the character portraits in the New Essential Guide to Characters, but quickly ran into this issue. Because I want to include as many examples as possible, our deep dive into upper-body garments will have to be a multi-part entry; I’ve done my best to follow the directions of the original concept:
“[John Mollo] broke down the characters into general costume themes: peasant costumes (Russo-Japanese); Western/U.S. cavalry/motorcycle looks; Nazi-style uniforms/armor/cloaks; space technology-type outfits; ladies’ mock-medieval/Tarzan attire; semi-monsters with armor; and full monsters.” (Star Wars Costumes – The Original Trilogy, 16).
We’ll begin with the so-called Russian/Japanese ‘peasant’ style. Note that these are pretty much all from Tatooine.
While the world may presently find itself in the grip of a pandemic, one silver lining does exist. While it can be stressful in other ways, a month-long quarantine lockdown has the unexpected benefit of suddenly giving crafty-minded folks a lot of time with which to finish ‘backburner’ projects, and so—as several of my other WIP projects are currently stalled due to quarantine-created supply-bottlenecks—I thought I would share one item I have been able to finish up during the current situation.
Too often, Star Wars prop collectors fixate on weapons, armor, and vehicles. But we—who are engaged in Star Wars living history—know there’s more to life in the Galaxy Far, Far Away than fighting: there’s also…DRINKING!
