Star Wars, though an amazing series, wasn't necessarily my favorite movie franchise (plenty of internet points to you if you can guess which one is my favorite!), although I was a fan of the Extended Universe Comics. I hadn't given much thought to my costume: I knew I wanted to do a Jedi, but not what style or kind of Jedi (I also learned there are types of Jedi!). I roughly based my costume off of Jocasta Nu, the Jedi Librarian from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of The Clones.

Why? Because I love librarians, I love skirts, and I wanted to carry a bag in case I didn't get time to (or forgot to) put pockets in my costume.
(Left: my costume pieces hanging, including my cloak. Right: my final outfit for the wedding. The cloak was left out so I could move and help out more easily.)
The most remarkable thing about this outfit? After making it, I want to make a Jedi. I want to design a character. My research made me more interested in the movies, as well as getting back into the comic books. Hopefully I will be updating this outfit in the future.
Special thanks goes out to Aubrey Holte of Hustle and Bustle Cosplay and Melissa Meza of The Penguin Knight for help on this project!
