Approved and Not Approved Costumes

These costumes have been approved for membership in the 501st Legion:

 

 

 

Dark Force Witch

 

This character is based on an illustration from the Dark Side Sourcebook. It is a generic representation of the Force Witch culture, rather than a Force Witch from a specific planet. In the revised updates to the Dark Side Sourcebook which were later published on Wizards.com, the name is shorted to simply "Force Witch."

- The Dark Side Sourcebook

(Note: This costume does not meet the "3 references" rule for 501st membership, but it is considered a grandfathered character because it was accepted before the rule came into effect.)

 

 

 

 

 

Nightsister Sith Witch

 

- This character was designed by Iain McCaig while he was drawing concept sketches for Darth Maul. The design was not selected, but the sketch was printed in the Art of Star Wars Episode I book. The concept art was eventually used for a new piece in the Star Wars Miniatures game and was given the name "Nightsister Sith Witch."

This costume is not yet approved for membership in the 501st Legion, but it does qualify:

 

 

 

Charal

 

This character was first introduced in the Battle for Endor movie. It has not yet become an accepted 501st costme, but it does meet all of the qualifications. In order for this costume to be elligible for acceptance in the 501st, we would need a set of standards to be written, and an accurate Charal costume that could be presented to the Legion Council for approval.

These costumes are not eliglible for membership in the 501st Legion:

 

 

These are terrific characters, but they do not have enough references yet. If more references become available, their eligibility for membership will be revisited. An accepted reference must be a full-body illustration that is not simply a reprint of earlier artwork.

Good evening Pam.

 

And thank you for posting this.

 

I have been a fan of Nikki's work since CII;

 

While I have not been a strong supporter of the three reference rule, it does provide a basis of comparison.

 

I'm not sure you are familiar with this SW tales cover;

It may not detail the whole character, but it does provide a third "hit" in favour of establishing the "Sith Witch."

 

Be well,

Thomas

Baritha

Baritha was also in the promo cards for Agents of Deception. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Agents_of_Deception

 

Would this count as 3 picture references?

That painting is quite beautiful.

 

Unfortunately, while it is a third image, we still don't have three matching sources. The game and the card have very similar costumes, but the Baritha image from Cracken's Threat Dossier is very, very different. Apparently she made a few bucks from the game royalties, and went from rags to big hats!

 

We have a full 360 view of Baritha's costume from the game, and the card is definitely a second source for that version, but I don't know if that would be enough to rate approval for her.
