Further Star Wars Ruminations

[kaitou]

While I always thought that costuming is one of the best parts about the Star Wars universe, (come on, as bad as Ep 1 was, what girl didn't go home and try her lipstick that way?  assuming you wear it, that is)  I have some issues about it in Ep 3.  They may also apply to Ep 2, but I still haven't seen it. 

1.  Going back to Vader, I still think he had to get the outfit out of a catalog.  And that there's probably a ton of other people running around dressed just like him. 
(Also, Vader is like, really tall.  Anakin wasn't especially.  Especially after, uh, you know.  I bet he told them to make him taller when they made the suit.)

2.  Amidala sleeps in bejeweld nightclothes?  Painful.  She must always sleep on her back.  I can't even type with a watch on because it bothers me.  I can't imagine sleeping with a big mass of gems on my chest. 

3.  Why do Jedi even bother having robes?  They shed them at every opportunity.  I never had a chance to think more than 'Oh, Obi-Wan's got his robe on' before he shucked it and went out fighting.  If you KNOW you're going into battle, why wear the robe in the first place? 

Of course I think of these things to keep thinking of the great great pain of the acting.

1) they probably added 4 inches to his legs with the extensions, and then the platform shoes added another couple. And the suit is going to make him bulkier and his shoulders higher.

2) I thought this too! XD Maybe those shoulder straps are /soft/ pearls. Or something.

3) So they can look mysterious. :D

Soft space pearls? Hardly fair, since Anakin got to sleep shirtless.

That biorobotic arm had to be problematic though.
