Historical Jedi Cosplay Part II
In the first part, I tried to distill down the essence of what makes a jedi outfit look like a jedi outfit. Since then, I have gotten deep into the High Republic, so I wanted to add a few illustrations of female Jedi from that project.
Avar Kriss in her everyday wear as a jedi. We have boots, pants, and three layers up top. She seems to have a wrap undershirt, a wrap tunic, and then her little pauldron/tabard thingy. And then of course her belt. She also has those armor vambraces and some kind of armor panel on her feet.
Here she is in her white-and-golds. It's essentially all the same elements but fancy (although she does seem to have the same boots). Pants, undershirt, tunic, and tabard. And then a cape on top.
Keeve Trennis has a similar arrangement in a slightly different style.
Orla Jareni is an outlier in that she wears white all the time. It seems to just be a fashion choice rather than representing anything in particular, although she is a Wayseeker and as an Umbaran has chalk white skin as well. Who knows, she's a weirdo who I love. She seems to have an undershirt with long sleeves, something that has those little tabards sticking out, an over jacket thing with the wide sleeves, and the final vest on top. But it's kind of hard to tell because they're all white.
In Phase II, taking place 150 years before Phase I, you have padawan Matty Cathley and knight Oliviah Zeveron. Padawans in the High Republic have matching under-belts to their lightsabers, but their outfits have some variation. Matty has the 3-layer combo of undershirt, tunic, and tabard. Oliviah does too.
Master Silandra Sho has a little more variance, with her draping belt and short batwing tunic. Since the white stuff on her arms is wrappings, I imagine the white on her chest might just be sort of a scarf or kerchief, but it could be a sleeveless undertunic.
Gella Nattai has a cool gold chest plate sort of thing under her tabard:
Barash Silvain favors a lighter palette, and also has a cool cape skirt thingy:
Overall, it seems like the Jedi had a much more unified look in their golden age, and not just in the temple robes. In the prequel era, it seems like some jedi just wear their normal robes all the time, while some might have a somewhat fancier version for formal occasions

So I drew some High Republic chibies
High Republic chibies because these characters now live in my head rent free 馃槴. Like why is this series so good?!

Orla Jareni鈥檚 lightsaber, made with maple, leopard wood, and Indian rosewood, with a spalted (beech?) stand.
Besides the hinge part, this one was pretty simple to put together, though the hinge was quite simple once I figured it out. I decided to put magnets in the bottom so it would lock itself in the long, staff form. The magnets I had aren鈥檛 very strong but it鈥檚 just about enough to hold it.
I finished it with citrus oil instead of lemon oil this time. Partially because there鈥檚 no small, fragile parts that might break off if I buff it with the wheel, but also because it has a stronger smell, as Indian rosewood has a very, distinct smell kind of like old piss which was not being covered up with lemon oil. Even the citrus oil only covered it up for about a day. It does give a shinier finish than usual though.
Orla was always a really interesting character with how she doubted the ways of the Jedi but still staying firmly in the light

Ever since reading the first arc of The High Republic, I couldn鈥檛 stop thinking about Mara as a Wayseeker so here she is! I took the pose from Keeve Trennis (reference comic cover below) because she and Orla would 100% be massive inspirations for Mara.
