It looks like Obi-Wan will be wearing the same Jedi robes as seen in TPM.www.starwars.com/episode-...biwan.html I actually beleave that this picture makes Ewan look more like Alec.The offical site says that this imperticular scene is very elaborate and detailed.Could this be a scene with Obi-Wan confronting the council once again?

Ratcat
I think you're right. I guess that's what they are trying to get to in order to generate the required continuity.

theEviljedi
Lately the official site has posted major spoilers.I hope it will be on a regular basis.

Ratcat
But if they're releasing this ort of stuff, just think what they must be holding back on....

theEviljedi
Hmmm...I guess your right.smile

Darth Daft
I agree that Obi-Wan's clothing does look rather similar to his old robes. But then I guess all Jedi costumes look like that. Anakin's is a little darker but still basically the same as the other Jedi's.

queeq
Is it really darker, or just a matter of lighting? One of the first pictures we saw of Hayden in outfit showed a costume very much like OB1's.

queeq out

Darth Daft
Well perhaps he will wear more than one costume throughout the film. Obi-Wan seemed to keep the same costume throughout most of TPM, but I'm sure Anakin will change his like Luke does.

theEviljedi
Well I just said that because in the recent spy pics he looked like he was wearing greyer clothing.Do you think that the red clothing that we have seen Anakin wearing is the official outfit of the Republic in the Clone Wars?

Darth Daft
Could be, but which red outfit do you mean? I don't remember seeing him wear that colour in any pics.

theEviljedi
The maroon-like outfit seen in the first select pic.

queeq
Yes he wears several different outfits. He also wears a black and green outfit and then there were the spy pic with a white poncho. Poncho's are going to be another thread in the saga (Qui-Gon had one, Luke had one in ANH).

queeq out

Darth Daft
Ah I see, EJ. Sorry, I thought it was brown. I didn't look at the pic for long, because I found it a little dull.

Gundark
I don't think Luke had a choice in what to wear until maybe ROTJ. The clothes he wore in the medal ceremony as well as his flightsuit obviously came from someone his size in the alliance. The khaki outfit he wore in ESB was a little more Jedi like in color, but no robe. I don't know where he came up with the black outfit in ROTJ, but that really wasn't Jedi in nature at all. I guess he had to wear whatever was at hand or borrowed and I don't think he would have been good at sewing. Besides, the only Jedi garb he would have known would have been Ben and Yoda 's clothes.

theEviljedi
Am I the only one who wanted to see Luke in the official Jedi robes?

queeq
I think Lucas only came up with the official Jedi robes for TPM, actually. Luke's clothing in the OT is a very good development using the meaning of the colours. In ANH he wore white (for youth, purity, unspoiltness), in ESB he wore khaki-brown (symbolic for him aging and learning) and finally in ROTJ he wore black (sign of maturity). So that was indeed excellent. And I am quite sure Luke couldn't get a subscription on Jedi Fashion Monthly anymore.

I actually liked him in black. I remember one of the monthly Star Wars comic books from the eighties that featured a story about Obi-Wan Kenobi as General. He wore black in that story too. I know that's EU and totally useless when it comes down to discussing the movies, but it demonstrated how people thought about Jedi in those days. I really think Lucas did not come up with Jedi and Sith outfits until working on TPM.

queeq out

Darth Daft
One of the Classic Moments on the official site says the Mark Hamill said to Lucas something like, "Are you sure about this costume I'm wearing? It's very vaderish," and Lucas replied, "that's the idea."
Just wanted to add that into to this whole costume conversation.

Jedimaster3838
Yeah I heard that too DD. I guess Lucas wanted people to think Luke was beginning to turn. Luke did have a robe at Jabba's palace, but even it was dark.

theEviljedi
I'm talking about the one's similar to Obi-Wan's.(see above)

queeq
Yes, but we were also discussing how Luke would look in that outfit. And I prefer the black one, myself. Maybe some Photoshop expert can make us a pic with Luke in traditional Jedi robes.

queeq out

Dim
But Luke's no traditional jedi...

Darth Daft
Of course not, but still I too would like to see him in the robes. Perhaps he would in Episodes 7,8 and 9 if there was a new Jedi Order.

queeq
Well, maybe if you ask someone nicely, maybe you'll get a Photoshopped pic of him in Jedi robes.

queeq out

Ratcat
In the book I JEDI by Micheal Stackpole Corran Horn, the main character, wears what are refered to as the traditional jedi robes but they are described much as the colours and styles we have seen on Anakin, not those worn by the Jedi Council or Obi Wan/Qui Gon.

Now I know that Eu is not cannon but that book, and it's a big book, has a lot of references to the Clone Wars and time frames that are approxamate to the prequel trilogy.

The robes that Corran wears are made using designs left for him by his Gradnfather, a hero of the Clone Wars who thought alongside many great Jedi.

There's no mention of Anakin or Obi Wan though or any of the known JC members.

theEviljedi
Maybe Dim could do it.She is a computer whiz after all.smile So is RC.

Ratcat
Sorry, what's photoshop....

queeq
Photoshop is a virtual cut and paste table for photographs. Just check out Dim's new header of the site. That's what Photoshop can be for.

queeq out

Gundark
Dim and RC greatly impress me. I don't know a URL from a cornflake. rolling on floor laughing

queeq
Who does?

queeq out

Darth Daft
I like to be creative by using things like photoshop and adobe and things like that. I have this computer game program and I'm trying to make a Star Wars game. RPG adventure sort of thing.

queeq
Cool, Daft. When can we play?

queeq out

Ratcat
Must rename you queeg the gullible, I am more than aware of photoshop, though I much prefer to use some other image manipulation products. That was actually a joke previously....

Thoough minor pieces of work, I made all thopse wonderful lightsabres you see in sigs, apart from Dim's double ender.

theEviljedi
You didn't make her that RC?

queeq
queeq the gullible? Hmmm, why not? At least I'll HAVE a nickname. Is there need for falling on the floor, burying my head in the dirt and beg for forgiveness, Grand Master RC?

queeq out

Ratcat
He he. Thanks queeg. Do I sence a little sarcasm??? Hmm Grand Master RC, sounds like a truck...

EJ, no Dim did her latest Sabre incarnation herself. It's very good. I'm currenty looking at how to better it. What can I say, the lady brings out the competative spirit in me. smile

queeq
I hope that's all she brings out in you...

Anyway, yeah it's sounds like a truck indeed. I felt like being hit by one with your little reprimand... (sarcasm warning!)

queeq out

Ratcat
huhh? Whateverrrrr <puts on best "Clueless" voice"> smile

Wasn't aware of a repremand, I just work here.....

queeq
And I don't. Guess I must still learn the ropes of this place. It's a strange place to me, you know.

queeq out

Ratcat
But then again we are just pawns in this galaxy, victim to the whims of the moderators. laughing out loud

Dim... No Dim.. I didn't mean it.... I'm sorry.... Dim?????.... Please, don't, No..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! <Ratcats lifeless body slumps to the floor>

queeq
You weenie. Dim's a girl. Can't you even beat a girl? Whoos.

queeq out

Ratcat
Nah, she's too good for me... laughing out loud

queeq
Really? That's not what I've heard...

queeq out

Dim
OH....you haven't heard nothing....I could take the lot of ya...stick out tongue

Ratcat
<Ratcat throws himself at the feet of Dim and begs for mercy>

queeq
How would you know what I've heard. I have powerful friends you know.

So put 'em up, put 'em up. I will not turn like this whimpering Ratcat. You have failed, your worshipleness.

errr... what was this thread about again?

queeq out

Darth Daft
Something to do with Jedi clothing, but if there's a lightsabre duel about to take place then I'd be happy to join in...only I....I....I don't have a lightsabre. sad
Oh well...

Ratcat
That's OK, queeg doesn't have a sabre, this shouldn't take long. laughing out loud

Darth Daft
Don't count on it, RC. I still have my trusted D-77 Blaster, my wrist-blades, my flame thrower, my spear, my crossbow, my jetpack and a few other cool weapons up my sleeves. Do not underestimate my powers...

Ratcat
All random, clumsy weapons....

Dim
*Dim ignites her doublesaber and twirls it over her head before bringing up to queeq's chest*

Ya wanna start somethin' with me? Come on Mr. Wet @#%$cat man...stick out tongue


oh, and I believe that Ben' robes were made out of a nylon/cotton blend....I read that...somewhere...I think.

queeq
*queeq doesn't move an inch, unimpressed by Dim's twirling*

Oooh, temper, temper. No need to get nasty. And I warn you not to underestimate me. If you strike me you I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine.

I may not have a light sabre, but I have my trusted light razor and the infamous tommy blaster you're familiar with.

So, Lady Dim, wanna rumble...?

queeq out

Dim
What?...unimpressed by my twirling...*sigh*..

Hey, Did you notice that if you put P-u-s-s-ycat into a post it gets changed to @#%$...but you can put it in your sig...oversight I guess..

Anyway...Ben's clothes...going once....going twice...

queeq
I'll have them. They'll conceil my mighty weapons *wink*.

Yes that is funny about that animal word. Who on earth would use it in a weird way. I think it is pure discrimination to felines.

queeq out

Dim
Well, I can think of a few guys who say it...but I'm in that sort of part of the world.

I should wear Ben's clothes..it would conceal my identity..

Ratcat
But if you say @#%$ in a forum about cats that really gonna @#%$ up.

queeq
Yes, no one would understand one word of what you're saying. And who says cats bear no relevance to Star Wars. There was a poodle Jedi Knight, maybe we get to see a feline too.

So we are being censored here. Doesn't that go against basic human rights of freedom of expression? How can we defend the case of cats if we can't say @#%$cat?

At least we have that freedom in our sigs. Yeah, baby, yeah!

queeq out

Darth Daft
Has anyone seen my @#%$? I lost it a few days ago. Here @#%$ @#%$ @#%$...

Now as for this duel we're having, whose side am I on again? I think it's Queeq and me versus Ratcat and Dim. Come on Queeq, let's show those Jedi scum who's boss!

<Darth Daft fires several shots at Ratcat's face and then throws a poison dart at Dim's shoulder>

HA! Take that, you feeble lightsabre-wielding wimps!

Dim
I LAUGH AT YOUR PUNEY DARTS! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!...


oops...feeling a little dizzy...

Jedi Mercenary
I don't get it

queeq
Sorry, Daft. I do not fight inferior beings. Sparrows fly in flocks but eagles fly alone... at great heights. You're welcome to join me, though.

(psst, JediMercenary, I don't get it either, just play along so we won't upset the natives)

queeq out

Dim
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my...there's those delusions of grandaur again...


Tweet tweet.

queeq
Ahem... did I hear a toilet flush...?

queeq out

theEviljedi
They also block out C-O-C-K-P-I-T:@#%$pit

Darth Daft
Now why would they do that I wonder.

Ratcat
<Ratcat deftly plunges his ruby saber into the heart of queeg>

a-hem, glad to gt that off my chest.

I think DD, it's just a simple profanity checker. Ezboard have no responcibilty for the content of a board but I think they like to be seen as keeping it as clean and family orientated as possible.

Darth Daft
Yeah I was just kind of being sarcastic. Oh and by the way, do you mind if I kill you now?

<Darth Daft pulls out several frisbee blades and throws them at Ratcat>

Dim
*SOB* QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEQ!


eh..I can appreciate the attempt to keep it clean...I don't think it really matters anyway...how often do you say @#%$cat?

theEviljedi
But what will we do if the new Sith lord is named Darth @#%$cat?

Dim
laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud laughing out loud
Well, I don't know...but I think we're probably safe..

yodaman
Hello all. How are you guys doing tonight?

theEviljedi
HE'S BACK PEOPLE.Yodaman,thanks for returning.

Jedi Mercenary
hhmmm.... crazy happenings going on here...

Ratcat
<Whilst everyone is busy Ratcat reaches out with the Force
and plucks DD's frisbee blades deftly from the air and hurls
them back mto impale in DD's neck.>

Hey Yodaman,
stick around, have a chat, grab a coffee.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/
emoticons/smile.gif ALT="smile">

queeq
*resurrects due to Dim's care*

My, my, my. It's yodaman.
Haven't seen you in a long time. And not here. How are the studies
doing, dude. And watch out a little. RC is on a death streak.
I think he killed me twice already. And then they TF.N can be
rough....tssssss.

queeq out

Ratcat
Dim, I feel betrayed. And this is getting silly. <Sticking
a thermal greade down the abck of queegs shirt> <!--EZCODE
EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/

theEviljedi
RC,what's up with that big sig?

queeq
Betrayed? By whom? Why? How?

*removes thermal thing
from his back* And why is everyone picking on me all of a sudden?
What did I do that everyone wants to kill me? Is that what you
do to newbies?

queeq out

Darth Daft
<Darth Daft ducks as the frisbee blade flies over his head,
missing him by milimetres.>

Ooh, that was a good
throw, Ratcat, but try and dodge this!

<Darth Daft
pulls out a thermal detonator and activates it, before throwing
it in Ratcat's direction.>

Dim
Don't feel betrayed RC, I'd sob if queeqer stabbed you too..

YODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAN!!!!! (we've missed you!)

queeq
Something's wrong with this thread. I can't read the last replies. I do think I can post, but everything's blank after Ratcat's "betrayal"-post.

queeq out

Ratcat
This message has become a victim of thre greatr upgrade bug of 16th-Nov-2000

Dim
Hehehehe...yes, it is rather silly smile

queeq
Something's wrong with page 4. I can't read at least four reply's to RC's comment that he felt betrayed. So what's silly, apart from me?

queeq out

theEviljedi
RC,why do you have Dim's sig. in that post?

Darth Daft
I think this topic has gone a little messed up. Before when I tried to add a post it wouldn't let me and also there were loads of adverts at the bottom of the page overlapping other people's posts. Confusing...

theEviljedi
I've noticed that as well Daft.

queeq
Oh my, I made so many good remarks and jokes. Probably the best ever. Now there are all lost due to this glitch. Now no one will ever know what a genius I am. smile

queeq out

Dim
roll eyes (sarcastic)


I think we still might be having minor glitches...

queeq
Dim, could you be more.... specific?

queeq out

Ratcat
Yeah, that happened when they upgraded ezboard last week. It turned all mu emoticons into HTML tags for the links to the emoticons and when I tried to edit them out it junked the entire message. Sorry, not my fault. sad

queeq
OK, you're forgiven.

queeq out

Dim
queeq...you're asking someone named Dim to be more specific...

But anyway...I think I noticed that some for the posts said that they were updated and when I looked at them they hadn't been...and I coudn't see that the person listed as being the last to post had edited any of their old posts...

Darth Daft
Well I assume it's all back to normal now?

Ratcat
Yeah, they upgraded the upgrade and now it's all working again.

Darth Daft
Right so where were we? Hmmm, Obi-Wan's clothes. Had we decided that this was practically wrapped up?

Ratcat
I think so. Thing is, we've seen one posed picture and one select with him in those robes, plus a few spy pics. He could be wearing something completely different for half the film and we'd be none the wiser until 2002...

Darth Daft
Yes, but then have you noticed how most male characters keep the same costume throughout a whole film? Han changes his suit in TESB but that's it I think.

queeq
Han only changes his suit FOR(!) TESB and then got teh old one back in ROTJ. He didn't change it halfway the movie. They just took his jacket when they started torturing him.

And yeah, I think OB1 will wear his robes throughout the movie. Anakin wears several outfits, we saw that. It is very doubtful that OB1 will also wear different outfits since we never saw any other on any spy pic.

queeq out

Ratcat
Maybe, but then we could be falling for the grand Lucas master plan. I think we are barely scratching the surface with what we know so far.

queeq
True. Very true. But there are quite a lot of pics of OB1 and then again, we don't know what was filmed on the soundstages in Australia.

queeq out

Ratcat
Can you imagine it. Lucas tells Ewan to get dressed up in the garb and walk around for a while in the studio lot. Then he goes back to the soundsttage and changes into something completely different for filming....

Dim
