You know, I was wondering about that if I get better belts and fix a few details on the armor (better bolt, better paint, etc)
Anybody know who I have to talk to about Starkiller in the 501?

What would his two letter code be? He's a dark jedi, yeah, but not really a Sith Lord. Maybe a DZ?

Huh???????
don't forget to get those boots wrapped too.
since the game is officially cannon, and there are plenty of seperate reference pics of him, i don't think it will be too long before he is an accepted 501st costume. and even though he's not officially a sith lord, i'm pretty sure that he'd fall into the starship eclipse detachment. the difficult task is going to be costume standards for the million and a half outfits he wears in the game.

Hey Dark Jedi, your costume turned out great!
I was lucky enough to be chosen by LFL to attend a special Force Unleashed release party last night in San Francisco. My buddy Michael also made a suit. George attend (for a short time) as well as the actor who was in the video game, Sam Witwer.
Attahced are some photo's from the event.
Thats me in the ESB Boba Fett costume.

Im really curious what the 501 is going to say about the color scheme on this. the other two costumes Ive seen so far used much lighter fabric than I did and look more like the SoulCaliber version than the Unleashed version.
Anybody know where to get decent leather straps (belts) for this costume? If this does become an acceptable 501 outfit I'd like to perfect my suit so I could be one of the first accepted apprentices

I have a secret too...
Good evening,
I am no longer involved in the approval process for new units in the 501st, but it is my understanding that new unit approval is still based on reference--preferably well illuminated images from the primary source. Images from head to toe, front and back.
Consider that some ladies made there capes for Mara Jade Pink because of the lighting in this image;
The 501st requires brown capes for Mara Jade because that is the actual colour of the fabric, (per Timothy Zahn);
The most popular incarnation of Apprentice's appearance seems to a pallet of brown's and greys;
Be sure to join the discussion over at the Flagship Eclipse if you are interested in seeing this character added to the 501st ranks.
Be well,
Thomas

I don't think so. The colors and texture of the costume are diffrent in Force Unleashed compared to SoulCaliber. I've been playing the game and the concept art definatly shows the fabric is black with some type of square paterns. (I don't know how to screem grab from an xbox)

Didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I'd comment on here.
I bought the PSP version and so far IMO it is the PSP's saving grace because I was about to sell that piece of **** with all it's POS games that break if you so much as look at them wrong. It really is the first game I've bought for it that is actually playable for more that 5 minutes.
What does everyone think of the game, I'd like to hear some reviews from the TDH crowd.

the source
The colour scheme of the apprentice's outfits can be determined with certainty from the model renders. Screen grabs are useful for support, but will be influenced by ambient lighting. In game models are also less favourable as 501st reference when the full detail models are available.
I would consider the models created for The Force Unleashed to be the primary source above all others.
There's one last notion I'd like to offer in regards to possible standards for the 501st--this comes form my experience as the 501st Legion Membership Officer;
Consider Anakin Skywalker;
When the first production shots of his Episode III appearance were leaked, folk began making a brown costume with black tabbards, black boots, and belt. Even the first toys made in his likeness followed this scheme
A little after the dust settled it was found that in fact, no black exists in his costume. In interviews the designer of Anakin's costume expressed how the total absence of black in Anakin Skywalker's costume for Episode III was intentional.
In the year and a half I approved Sith Lords for membership in the 501st, I estimate deferring as much as two dozen applicants whose costumes were based on screen perception. (Many made the suggested adjustments and were later approved.)
There will be a little bit more of a process with Force Unleashed characters.
I urge readers of this forum interested in making the Secret Apprentice and seeing it in the 501st, to join the forum designed for this purpose;
The 501st's Expanded Universe Detachment; The Flagship Eclipse.
Hoping to see you there,
Thomas

May not be the most efficient and quickest route to go, but if it's the devs you want:
http://lucasarts.com/company/contact/
Mail them a letter? Guess you could just state it's in reference to the 501st.
But I'm sure you already thought of that, I know, could be ages before you hear from them.:facepalm
