Jedi vs Sith Galactic Style Battle [0:00:00]
All right, gents we’re going to have some fun in today’s video.
I'm doing this style analysis - Sith versus Jedi style.
Are you ready?
Let's get into it.
[Music] All right, gents so before I get into this
style analysis, I want any introduce you to the paid sponsor of today's video, Supreme
Leader Snoke.
He had three important messages he wanted me to get across.
First off, if you know the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker, go to your local First Order
office and report this information.
Two, while you're at your local First Order office, you might as well volunteer for many
of the slave positions we have building the new Starkiller Base.
We’re planning on enslaving the entire universe, so you might as well take your pick of which
position you want now.
Finally, there is somebody out there that's been spreading this rumor that Jar Jar Binks
and Supreme Leader Snoke are the same person.
This is not the case and when we find this person, we're going to torture them with force
lightning.
All right, gents I’m I'm putting a force-sensitive link down in the description.
When you click on it, you can expect a First Order representative or a possible Death Trooper
to visit you within 24 hours.
All right, gents let's jump into the style analysis.
And the first thing that you have to understand is the philosophical differences between the
Jedi and between the Sith.
Understand that these two orders are very different in what they believe what they stand
for and this has a huge effect on everything they do the way that they want to represent
themselves physically to the world.
So, the Jedi.
This is going to be removed from materialism, has a very strong Buddhist influence.
And what we see here is it simply they want to keep things simple.
They're not looking to adorn themselves with jewelry.
They don't go for anything flashy.
It is simply functional clothing that does its job.
Another influence historically feel it back from 14th to 18th century Japan, huge influence
on the clothing.
In fact, they say the 1956 film the Seven Samurai had a huge impact on George Lucas
and the clothing that he chose for it and the looks and the garb that he went with.
Now, let's look at the specific clothing that a typical Jedi would wear.
We've got an under tunic, we've got a tunic, we've got the tabard, we've got an obi, we've
got pants, we've got boots, and over all of that we've got a robe.
In general, we would see Jedi lean towards lighter color earth tones something that's
simply going to blend into the background something, again, not going to grab too much
attention.
We would see beige, we would see tan, we would see variations of brown from light brown to
dark brown especially the dark brown in on the accents also used on the robe.
Very functional if you think about it for stain resistance and things like that.
Now, we would occasionally see white especially in the under tunic and the tunic area, but
black, black was something that was reserved really for accent.
You didn't see too many Jedi wearing a whole lot of black.
The only exception I really saw too much was Anakin Skywalker and we all know what happened
to that guy.
Now, one thing you typically wouldn't see what Jedis is armor.
Now, I know there were exceptions during the new Sith, the old Sith, and The Clone Wars
in which Jedi would actually wear armor, but for the most part, Jedi in armor it just didn't
really make sense because these were guys which were trying to be mediators.
They were trying to stop violence, they were trying to in a sense send the message we are
here as peacekeepers.
So, wearing armor wearing something that would have really jagged edges, all of a sudden
would send that message that you're coming off as aggressive and so, we don't see them
usually wearing this type of stuff.
Now, I started this off by saying this was typical Jedi attire, but understand if battle
conditions call for it they're going to wear whatever works for that environment.
So, we look at Kit Fisto at the Battle of Mon Calamari.
What's this guy wearing?
He's wearing a pair of trunks he's down there in the water making things happen.
Also, advanced Jedi and some Padawans will choose to wear clothing that represented their
home where they came from.
So, we would look at someone like Ahsoka Tano, what did she choose to wear?
Clothing that was actually typical of where she was from.
[Movie clip playing] All right, enough with the boring Jedi.
Let's talk about Sith style.
So, if you know anything about the Sith, you may know they started off as fallen Jedi who
took over a species of people called Sith who hailed from the Stygian Caldera.
But, what happened is the Sith did affect these fallen Jedi and they got a taste for
luxury for basically beautiful things for adorning themselves.
And so, we're going to find the Sith in general are not afraid and they become very individualized,
they want to be recognized when they go out there.
They want people to identify who they are.
So, everything we're going to see with the Sith is much more grabbing attention and the
colors and the symbolism here is very strong.
So first off, what do we notice?
We see a lot of similarities with the Jedi.
We're going to have the under tunic, we're going to have the tunic, we're going to have
the robes, we're going to have the boots, we're going to have the pants.
A lot of the things are the same except look at the color, black, black, black.
[0:05:03] Why do we see black?
Because black is a classic color for aggressiveness, for dominance, for strength, for intimidation.
Everything the Sith wants to send it sends in many ways with the color with the stark
contrast that basically it's the silhouette cuts against any background.
So, let's get into some fun detail about the Sith clothing.
When we look at the leathers, a Jedi is going to use something that really doesn't grab
attention.
A Sith like Darth Tyranus, he's going to actually go with rancor leather which you may know
is very, very hard to get.
Is also going to be incredibly tough, is going to be something that's going to cost quite
a few credits and it's just going to be something that is going to command attention anywhere
he goes.
Also, we look at the gloves.
Siths wore gloves.
And we look at Jedi, they oftentimes exposed their hands, but Sith would wear warrior gloves
and these gloves were going to be very tough going to also be resistant to blasters in
a wide range of other weapons.
Next up, let's talk about cloaks.
So, during the Rule of Two and this is when you only had a master and an apprentice and
the Sith were trying to keep it on the down-low.
They didn't want the Jedi knowing what's going on, they were secretly plotting for over a
thousand years.
At this point, we saw Darth Sidious wearing a Zeyd cloth robe and this is going to be
one that doesn't draw attention.
It's got a very rough weave, kind of like a waffle weave.
And this was something he could wear over and simply not draw attention to himself look
like he actually doesn't have a lot of money, someone that you wouldn't expect to be plotting
to take over the universe.
Now, when Darth Vader hit the scene, he wanted to separate himself from Darth Sidious a bit,
so he brought in the armor weave cloak.
Now, you may be familiar with armor weave especially if you're a Mandalorian descent,
but the armor weave is going to be very expensive it has a nice drape to it.
But, the key parts about the armor weave are it's going to stop blaster fire and it can
even deflect the lightsaber.
Okay.
So.
earlier when I talked about Jedi and armor, I talked about how these two really don't
go together, but understand that armor and Sith they go together like peas and carrots.
The Sith love armor because they understand that armor worn especially with jagged edges
worn maybe as shoulder pads with the chest plate, this is going to intimidate.
A Sith, they're going to wear armor on their legs, they're going to have it on their knees,
they're going to have it on their boots, they are going to wear armor everywhere.
And the more sharp edges, points, thorns, just spikes, they are looking for this because
they understand that it's going to send a message do not mess with me.
And when you hurt a Sith when you cut off his arm when you make it so that he can't
breathe very well, he's going to get a mechanical enhancement and he's going to come off as
even more intimidating.
So, guys another thing to understand about Sith armors Sith clothing is oftentimes it's
been infused with the force to help them direct and control their power of the force.
So, when they wear this armor, when they wear certain robes the ones that have been taken
and passed down -- not really passed , they probably killed their master ,but they got
a hold of this armor, it has these ancient properties, all of a sudden it enhances their
natural force ability.
All right.
So, we talked about the clothing differences between Jedi and Sith, but if you're in a
dark bar Mos Eisley, you're going to need more than just their clothing to be able to
tell the differences.
So, let’s talk about face, let's talk about eyes, let's talk about skin.
So, what I’m going to notice with the Jedi?
They are overall approachable.
When I look at their face, one, I can actually see the face, they’re very approachable.
They are also going to be familiar.
We've got a lot of humanoids, we have aliens that are still going to be oftentimes approachable.
They've got larger eyes, they're going to smile at you.
Kit Fisto, look at that smile, got to love that guy.
Their skin overall looks like it has life and their eyes pretty much you're not going
to see anything glowing in their eyes because when we go and when we look at the Sith, what
we notice when we look at a Sith’s eyes?
We're going to see a yellow glow.
Understand that's because this person is using the dark side of the force.
When you use the dark side of the force, your eyes start to glow yellow.
Also, look at their skin.
When you become a Sith lord and you start to use the dark side of the force, your skin
becomes deathly white.
I don’t know why this happens, but understand that you are going to want to avoid attend
definitely I think every Sith out there should be looking and get Tiege Hanley.
That could probably solve a lot of problems.
But, it's not going to be able to do too much for some of the other things we're going to
talk about which is extreme scarring.
So, it seems like Sith are just a glutton for punishment.
These guys love to get burned, they love to get just beat up, thrown into rocks.
Just really they take a beating, but they keep coming back.
But, we are going to see scars and like I talked about they -- if they're wearing a
robe, they are going to throw that up, it doesn’t matter how hot it is outside, they
just think that no one is going to see them going around when they've got that cover-up
on the robe.
[Movie clip playing] All right, guys what do you think?
I had fun putting this video together.
Hopefully you caught some of the Easter eggs in this video.
I tried to throw a lot out there.
I am a huge Star Wars fan.
I'm just, yeah, I've loved this stuff since I was a kid.
I'm also a big fan of Game of Thrones, Marvel Comics, DC Comics.
So, if you guys have any ideas of videos that I should be creating, let me know down in
the comments.
[0:10:07] Also, go check -- I'm going to link to some
channels down in the description.
We're talking Charlie over an Emergency Awesome, Scott over at Nerdsync, and a few other channels
that I love.
And if you are a big fan of fantasy, you're a fan of comics, then you are going to enjoy
these channels.
That's it guys.
Take care.
And may the force be with you.
