Ok, I love these topics, so, I have been in love with starwars since I was like 8 when I saw ROTJ in theaters, ever since then I have wanted to make films.

one thing I have learned in the process of film making/costuming, never go for the hand made stuff if your on any type of budget. also don't just go for props that look exactly alike. I have 4 complete jedi and sith costumes all of which were scrounged together for under $20

and


now, (I know your looking at the lightsaber, I get that alot,) take a close look at the belt. just a regular 1.5 inch belt with a piece of cloth rapped around my middle.

anywho, I love starwars costuming, and I recommend you check out http://theforce.net/fanfilms/tutorials.asp <- great stuff on costuming and everything there, they are all really good at that.

for a belt you could also look into a freelance saber maker www.parksabers.com specifically these for $70-$80 instead of $200.

these were just the sites in my favorites folder, googleing it could find many more results.

I do like the look of the jedi belt on a kilt. great idea. maybe I'll even venture to grab a couple of shots with my kilt in full saber action. but it will have to wait a week or so until finals are done and over.

hope I helped!

Oh yeah, forgot, the pics are opening day of SWIII, yes I saw it at 12:01 and then I wore the costume to school all day... and was made fun of.
