Hello,
So after years of looking at my friends' cool Star Wars costumes I'm hoping to get a jedi getup made, based on more of the Old Republic style of jedi garments. The problem: I'm horrible at sewing, at least proficiently. Another big problem is that I'm about two meters tall, so that's another issue, especially with boots and stuff like that (main reason I can't/won't go for trilogy characters, since most of the stuff available online is for "normal sized people"). Being a student means that I'm working with a limited budget, so that also is a bit of a concern for me.
So my questions are:
Is there a company or a person who can do custom jedi robes and other garments? I'd prefer Nordic/EU-based craftsmen. What's the average cost for a whole set?
I had the idea of getting a jedi robe with shorter sleeves, much like Master Ven Zallow and other Jedi did during the wars with the sith. Is this allowed, or do I absolutely have to get full-length sleeves for a costume to get accepted?
What are the guidelines on boots? Knee-high, full leather, or are the guidelines more laid back with non-canon/semi-canon characters? It's annoying to find regular shoes at size 47, let alone trying
to get stylized leather boots...
What are the requirements on lightsabers? There are a lot of options online, so which type of lightsaber to choose? Aluminum, plastic? Electronics or no electronics? Since I'm hoping to get an OC made, I understand that movie replicas are a no-go.
What do I have to keep in mind with semi-canon characters? Naturally I need some Old Republic logos here and there, but is there anything else?
If I have a semi-canon jedi made and approved, what are the chances of actually being able to participate in events? I mean are all of the events canon-only, or are there semi-canon events as well?
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
