Costume: Jawa
Prefix: DZ
Detachment: Krayt Clan
NOTE: All items must be weathered, dirtied, and/or tattered to simulate aging in a desert environment
Required
ALL of the following costume elements are required in order to be eligible for 501st Legion membership for this costume.
Robe w/ matching hood
•the robe should be of the appropriate herringbone Ralph Lauren blanket, Monk.s cloth, or similar textured material, and should be a rusty brown color. The robe may be closed (as in a dress) or have an opening the length of the robe, off-centered. The openings of the sleeves and robe bottom should be flared, unhemmed and frayed. Cottons are recommended for cost, look, feel, breath-ability, and ease of care. The hood should be a separate piece, and should have a wire reinforcement sewn into the face opening to keep the hood open for visibility and look. A solid core, coated wire of 12 or 14 gauge metal is recommended. The flaps at the bottom of the face opening should overlap as seen in the films.
Face shroud
•The face shroud should be a breathable, black covering that hides the head of the costumer, but allows for necessary vision and air circulation (such as a tight mesh).
Mask
•The mask is essentially a base upon which to mount two glowing eyes. Only the illuminated eyes should be visible, making it ideal to wear the mask under the shroud. The glowing eyes should glow, not project, so do not use mini-flashlights or other reflector beams that shoot light out. A simple incandescent lamp or non-directional LED is ideal. The diameter of the light should not exceed 3/4. (5cm).
Gloves
•A pair of black gloves, leather or fabric, as of sufficient length to hide the wrists and arms (preferably elbow length). There should be no visible buckles, straps, or zippers.
Bandoliers
•A Jawa must have at least one bandolier; preferably one of these (from ANH):
•leather Henry Martini British .303 bandolier pattern
•leather Lee Metford (Boer War era) British .303 bandolier pattern
•leather Lee Enfield British .303 bandolier 1903 pattern A prequel Jawa may utilize the leather Swedish Mauser bandolier. Other leather WW2 era style bandoliers (or similar recreations) matching the styles in the movie may also be acceptable.
Boots
•Either a wrapped boot (similar to the Tusken Raider boot but with darker coloring), or an .Ug. boot or similar is recommended. There should be no obvious buckles or zippers showing. And the robe should be of a length that the boots themselves remain fairly hidden.
Approved Options:
•black lining may be sewn into the hood
•a crude natural colored leather vest may be worn over the robe
•realistic black fur may be applied to the tops of the gloves
•ion blaster or rifle (as seen in Episodes IV and VI)
•droid caller (as seen in Episode IV)
•Microflame welder (as seen in Episode IV)
Recommended Modifications:
•a draw-string around the bottom of the hood
Recommended
These costume elements are in addition to the required list of costume parts and are optional. This list provides costuming options that increase the level of accuracy of the costume and give a costumer ideas to consider for improvement.
•A second bandolier as listed in the Bandoliers section, or a utility strap with pouch, holster, or tool container (or combination thereof).
•An under robe of similar color, but of a lighter weave material.
Optional
Elements listed as acceptable here may not be traditionally associated with a costume, but are not so unreasonable as to detract from it. Please keep in mind that the following items may not be allowed at certain canon/high profile appearances.
•Any other hand tool that looks to be an appropriately odd and unidentifiable item.
