May the fourth be with you .......always....
Punk Rock:
Yes your eyes are good they don’t match as they should for approval. Two different fabrics, XCoser robe vs HJO hood/cowl/cape.
I started to put this all together before I found you guys and the Sith Lords. Stutz, You, Broadsword, et al showed me the links and got me on the right path. So now I’m trying to dial it all in as best I can. I'll put my to do list below.
BroadSword:
That's incredible, I saw your pics of doing the pleats, OMG that must have taken way more time and effort than I spent sitting on the computer ordering my inner tunic from XCoser on amazon LOL Now you look movie accurate, but I will have to mod mine to get close to approvalable.
I think I might have 6 out of 11 pieces that could pass or be modified to pass, Its way more time effort and money than I thought, but still really fun particularly when it starts to look decent. Helmet work is next.
The pics are on my Photobucket in album:

still adding photos and need to take more as I progress.
My Current To Do List:
Helmet: Have sheer black material for cheek holes for better ventilation and accuracy. May do the lens cover too. This is my next objective as it gets hot. Specs don’t say you have to cover the lens but seems people do it? Level 1 v level 2? Anyone got any tips on modifying a black series helmet for air flow, cutting black plastic piece to open up the holes and cover them? I have sheer leggings for the material. LOL Update: did holes and cover for cheeks, lens is next.
Ah here's the answers that I seek:. Post #51 shows the moded holes and fabric mod. Thanks to Barcode.

Did some voice changer mods that helped too.
Cape Cowl and hood: Great work bbt Meryem ar Haptons Jedi Outfitters HJO, on etsy. Doesn’t match my robe have to replace on or the other. My wife seamed the cape so it would stop fraying. We used safety pins to hold it up, were considering sewn Velcro. Bought some black safety pins to try next.
Outer Robe: XCoser, zipper in front not well hidden, as it should only be a seam not zipper I think. May order one from HJO to match hood etc. or make one.
Mid Coat: DNE Have to work this out still. Have a few in my baskets at Etsy and Amazon. LOL right now my inner tunic has the military style collar.
Under Tunic: XCoser, one piece, collar attached zipper in front.
Neck Seal: Using wool Buff now. Need to order or make a correct one. May get one made in PI in June/July.
Pants: 100% cotton denim “Coated” jeans by INC, should work, moderate sheen. High fashion baby LOL
Gloves: Leather and plastic Alpine Stars. Removed or blacked out logos, one logo blacked out still a bit visible on finger, need to remove it with xacto maybe. Not accurate.
Boots: O'Neil MX boots, dremeled out all logos, but missed one. Not accurate.
Belt: Won’t work. no ridges, closes in back, buckle is sewn on, Will at least add saber clip later, as I can move it to a rebuilt or new belt.
Lightsaber: Black series (BS), metal hilt. May Add red tubes and hot glue later. Learning acronyms as I research ha ha
