    It does look to me like the cape is attached in between the chest and the back. Until we get a shot of his back I wonder how it gathers at the shoulders because of how the lightsaber mounts to his back? That fabric you found looks very close, but it almost looks like each circle is connected by a line in between. But that could also just be the zoomed in picture. 

     

    Definitely agree the pleats on the shirt are 6 pleats facing left and 6 right with the central going both ways. I'm guessing the seam on the side panel is just a normal shirt seam but it could definitely be a zipper like you said. There could also be zippers hidden under the forearms. On the pants directly below the red button of the belt there is a dart which means there would be a matching dart of the right side of the pants as well. I'm not sure if a dart would be a CRL requirement or not because smaller pant sizes don't usually require them for proper fitment but I'm just pointing it out. And it is super hard to tell from the images we've seen so far but I'm wondering if the pants color matches the sleeve and side panels while the shirt pleats are the only lighter colored fabric. This would be unlike the Rebels animated version where the pants color matches the pleats while the sleeves and side panels being the darker color. 

     

    Great research so far, I'm excited to see this guy in live action😄

    Sounds like the pleats are just like Revan's cape! Left and right facing knife pleats, and a single box pleat formed from them in the middle.

     

    Also, given that it is a real world reference, yes, darts are required to match for CRL if they are present on the actual character.

    Revan boots that match the CRL?

    We're actually working on the CRL text to adjust for this. The back zip is still hidden by the cloak, so I have no issue with it. So long as it isn't on the outside of the sides or on the front, I would approve for basic approval.

     

    If you don't want to pay that much, you can often find square toe boots on ebay that you can modify.

    Lord Starkiller [Hoth] WIP

    I don't myself in that situation here and there. In those times, you really have to think on if this is something you really want, and if so, put it aside for another time until the motivation is renewed and resources are available. If not, sell it.

    I can submit the request to LMOs and get their verdict as they would be the final arbiters on it regardless. Plus, new LMOs and recent Charter/OP character alignment changes open up more options. Let me send them the info and I'll let you know when we receive a response after they vote (usually takes about a week).

    Looks like you have a solid plan. Just remember that you needs the straps and rings to modify the MWA  ab and kidney armor for approval. 

    For hilts, they are not required for approval, so don't let that hold back submitting. But yes, the correct ones are often times a pain to locate right away. I actually had a machinist make my empty hilt and it cost me about $100.

    CRL Grandfathering Notice

    in Starkiller (Dark Apprentice Robes)

    Posted

    Similar to the BHG Greedo CRL that is being grandfathered in 6 months due to inaccuracies and lack of member desire to correct them, we have decided, along with LMOs, that the Starkiller: Dark Apprentice Robes CRL will be grandfathered 6 months from today (October 1st, 2022).

    There is only 1 member approved with this costume, and they have previously responded that they do not intend to update the costume to better suit the references. 

    Given this, if any other members want to work with the Detachment to improve the costume, then the CRL can stay published. Once grandfathered, any new costumes of this CRL must go through a full NTTL process.
