Final on display at my "May The 4th Be With You" party last night. This is me with my band.
I spent so long on the carbonite and think it turned out great, but I'm also very proud of what we were able to accomplish with minimal budget and time on those costumes. Singer and drummer worked on theirs at my house over the last week and a half (Jawa and Clone Wars Kenobi), but my guitarist insisted that it'd be funny to just put on a plaid shirt and say he's George Lucas. Obi-wan's armor is all "for sale" signs and Wendy's cups, with 2 pair of soccer shin guards on the legs, and the last of my sintra is the two raised stripes on the chest-shoulders. We spent a whole day applying bondo and sanding those things. The shoulder bells were left over from another project.
On the Jawa, I wired up 2 AA batteries and two flashlight bulbs for the eyes. She took em home and added the yellow film from our stage lights and made the cones around em. I built the pistol from scraps left over in my garage 2 hours before the party. My girlfriend did all the sewing on both of em, and I'm definately impressed with how she's learned to use that machine in the last 6 months.
