Luke: A New Hope Costume

[Psab Keel ()]

This is copy and pasted from a thread on therpf. I thought I posted this here on the rebel legion forums as well, but after doing a search, I found that I hadn't.

This post is a few years old, but I thought it might be a good reference for anyone else who is looking to do this costume. I have since sold the version seen in the pictures and will be making a more screen accurate version very soon.

Any questions, please feel free to ask!









I'm nearly finished putting this costume together and I figured I would post some pictures and see what you all think. I'm still in the process of dirtying this up to give it that "used-universe" look. These were taken just after sewing was complete. After weathering all that is left to do is to convert my Graflex replica into a lightsaber and build my Blast Shield Helmet.





Since these pictures were taken I've finished the belt and droid caller which I made from an actual Kobold Flash. I'll update this when it's complete, and also include some pictures of me wearing it to SDCC 2011.

I spent the day making my new Luke ANH Pants. I will post pictures when I can but be warned, this will be pic heavy!

The one area I will be deviating from Screen Accurate with them is by adding integrated suspenders to negate the need for a second pants belt. Other than that they look exactly like the real thing and will only look more accurate when weathered.

I have my Tunic pieces cut out and my belt blank cut out.

But for now, off to bed! I'm whooped.

I just want to preface this post by saying that the following pictures are by no means a tutorial on how to build a Luke ANH costume. These are simply taken to document my build process. I won't go into detail on each step, but hopefully this will be a good reference point for others who are making the same outfit. Enjoy!
