Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In today’s video, we will be going over 10 different facts about a Jedi’s clothing.
Number 10.
The Jedi have freedom of clothing choice.
There’s some freedom within the Jedi Order that allows those to be able to wear whatever
they wanted.
Majority of the Jedi would stick to tradition and choose large robes associated with the
organization and its ancestors.
While the Jedi Council members were expected to keep to traditional clothing, some in the
field, like Ahsoka Tano, opted to wear more practical clothing.
Number 9.
Jedi clothes are made of agile material.
Jedi robes were made out of specific materials to allow more freedom of movement.
Jedi were known for their incredible combat skills, whether Jedi were leaping to great
heights, using ultrafast movements, or swinging their laser swords.
The flexible clothing material was designed to help a Jedi move with ease.
Number 8.
The color means something.
The colors of a Jedi robe and outfit can mean more than just a fashion statement.
Colors were thought to signify the attitude that a Jedi has.
For example, Anakin Skywalker often wears dark toned robes, this could be thought of
as a reflection of how there was a certain sense of darkness within him, foreshadowing
him being black-clad Darth Vader.
Originally, at the time of Return of the Jedi, the black robes worn by Luke Skywalker were
originally supposed to be how all Jedi dressed before the dark times.
It is now thought to be symbolic of Luke wanting to convey the dark side that surrounded him.
Number 7.
Jedi Robes were inspired by Monks.
Traditionally, Jedi robes were inspired by real life monks.
The clothing became even more symbolic after Order 66 when a Jedi went into hiding but
still wore the clothing.
We see several examples of this with Ben Kenobi on Tatooine, “Hello there,” Yoda on Dagobah,
and even when Luke Skywalker blocks himself off of the Force on Ahch-to.
Number 6.
Jedi Robes have all-terrain coverage.
While the robes might not look practical, they were designed to act as protection from
many different elements that a Jedi may experience on the many different planets they have to
travel to.
Whether the planet was as cold as Hoth, or as sunny as Tatooine, the robes would help
protect Jedi in a range of climates.
Number 5.
Jedi clothes are specialized to culture.
Some clothing worn by Jedi are specially made to fit their specific culture.
With culture being an important aspect of the Jedi, there were a number of members who
wore different looks to perhaps represent a religion or terrain of one’s home world.
Number 4.
Jedi clothes have hidden lightsaber holsters.
Jedi could have many reasons to hide their lightsaber, which usually is done to avoid
danger or to protect their identity.
Unlike most Sith who prefer to have their lightsabers shown at all times, the Jedi would
have a hidden holster in their clothing so they can store their weapon without attracting
too much attention.
Number 3.
Jedi clone wars armor was purely for defense.
During the Clone Wars, Jedi would have to adapt to many changes, including their uniforms.
They were fitted with expensive armor that was designed to protect generals on the field,
while also keeping them quite agile.
They were used to help keep the Jedi alive, protecting the most vulnerable areas of the
body.
Number 2.
Jedi apparel indicates Jedi roles.
Their clothing could also signify a Jedi’s role, such as the armor of a general, the
clothing of the librarian, or the Jedi temple guards, their clothing could tell others a
lot about what they may do for the organization.
Number 1.
Jedi armor reflects the time period.
Jedi have been known to wear armor, which can often be seen as a contradiction of the
order being all about peace, whereas armor signifies a period of war.
In the Old Republic, Jedi would wear a lot of armor, which can often reflect the many
battles between the Jedi and Sith during the times.
The Clone Wars armor was more subtle, although can still represent the lack of peace during
these times.
And there you have it!
