Yeah, it all comes down to, "do they make the main character's lives difficult in completing their mission?"
If you can argue that point, then there's relatively good chance, but given how light side he was, I'd call him Neutral Good vs True Neutral. Still would be great to see it!

1 - Leather is notorious for being hard to fit.
2 - Wigs are notorious for being pains, too!
It looks fantastic overall, and I am happy to see another Legends character brought to life!

Congrats on being newly approved with a TFE costume! Now, there is a list of things that you'll want to make sure that you complete to get the most out of the Detachment and Legion.
1. Make sure you are properly registered here for correct permissions and access to member-exclusive stuff! you'll want to make sure you have your TKID and 501st forum profile in your TFE forum profile (this forum). You can find directions on how to do so HERE.
2. While you're there, make sure your rank is listed as, "Detachment Member". If it isn't you can post HERE and we'll get you the proper rank for access. You won't be able to participate in Member-only programs, participate in Detachment elections, or buy merch without the proper permissions, so don't forget to check!
3. You can see the different TFE subgroups for the Garrison/Squad units that have been approved HERE, or you can go HERE to create a new one in your area if there isn't one already there.4. You can also request to join the TFE member group on Facebook HERE. Make sure you have an approved TFE costume and that you answer ALL the questions, or your request won't be approved.
5. As always, make sure you take a bit of time to check out the Legion Charter and Operations Protocols. These are the bread and butter of standards and regulations of the Legion and being a member.

Any good recommendations for where to start?
Take a deep breath, accept the inevitable heat death of the universe, and honker down while you gather the full 360 degrees of reference screenshots from the stuff for him. Does he have many differences between GoH and FU? If so, it'll be a new CRL, if not, it's just Starkiller.
-
The biggest thing with these older games is that you have to make sure that 360 degrees of details are visible to validate the costume being eligible. That means the backs of everything from cohesive and official sources. We can't use fan art at all. So long as that is available, it is possible to submit a new costume to the Legion.
The sketches you made for it look fantastic, btw!
-
Oh yes please!
-
I have been waiting for this moment! YES! I absolutely support this costume for a new CRL! Just make sure you match all the details in the statue properly. If you need any specific angles or details, let me know. She's sitting on top of my display case in my living room!

That's a nice pic, though we'd need a back to it, and that version would them move to another detachment.
-
Also, you'll have to add straps instead of the strings on the rings!

Yeah, after seeing one of my garrison mates attempt like 4 or 5 times to do chrome work for his Phasma, I may get it all prepped and then send it out to get chromed.
Yeah I experienced the same with my brother's Phasma armor.
The issue was that if not done perfectly, any details or grooves get lost to layers.

The character would need to be shown as being an antagonist character in this exact version as step 1, and then cohesive references showing all 360° of details would need to be gathered before it could be given the green light of acceptability.
It's kind of rough with switcheroo characters like this because certain versions are approvable, and certain ones are not. Examples would be Anakin with short hair being Rebel only and long hair scar version being both, or black suit Mara being 501st only and her green outfit being Rebel.
The simplest way to decide is, "did the character act as the antagonist in the story by actively working against the, 'good guy' while wearing this outfit?"
If that can be answered with a, "yes", then gather the 360° references and we move to step 3 of your build process.

First step would be to validate that they, do, in fact meet the requirements of being an antagonist character in the story, and then validating that a full 360° of cohesive details are available. If both of those can be done, then we can look at the character being added to the 501st and Detachment. 🙂

Just a head's up, we only have 1 active approved member with this costume, so specific assistance will be very limited. BUT, we can do our best to assist with any build questions.

Greetings!
We don't have specific places to get parts for the majority of TFE costumes since they're rather niche. If this is a version that does not currently exist in the 501st approval list, then your best bet is to break down the parts needed with references, and then begin a research thread on what you have found.
From there, people can offer existing advice on what you have found as available real-world translations for fabrics/parts/etc.
Also, before starting, you'll want to make sure you have a full 360° of detail of the character in that version you're looking at as it is required to validate approval details against when submitted. Just remember that you can't mix and match with other versions to fill in any missing details.
I will mention, the uniqueness and specialty status of our characters in the Detachment makes things like the research phase of laying out and bringing the character to life that much more difficult, but is also what makes the finished costumes so much more amazing.

Greetings!
Glad to see you here and excited to see the Nihilus in progress.

You can always talk to Gio, the resident Legion custom boots maker, about them. I think he made the other ones.
-
I believe that was sourced from the concept art photo with the high res references.
-
I would love to see additional species in the detachment!
The only factors are making sure the 360° details are present, which the quick scan of the above seems to cover. It will be difficult to use both figure and comic, so make sure you take that into consideration with mapping out the details.
-
That's just as good to hear. Costumes for the love of the character and not just for approval are just as important ❤️.

Didn't see until now, but so long as you're getting the updated versions and it is sized to your daughter, they should be fine. The big issue used to be he only had 1 mask for both versions (which made KOTOR II not approvable with it), but Rob's new sets are good so long as you wear them properly.

Yeah that was my bad. I had just responded to two GoH threads and my dyslexic brain was stuck on that, lol.
