if its any help . i was recently browsing a costume website and they had a whole section dedicated to starwars, from really cheap to very expensive . there was a reasonably priced obi clone wars one that with some work would look really cool. there was also 500 quid vader one that looked the dogs you would think it was straight out of the movies , i want it but the missus said no . il try and find it again and post a link
If you're after really good looking costumes, as in something that looks like it walked off the set of a movie, you need to be prepared to put in the time and effort. There are a LOT of resources out there. The most notable starting points for Star Wars costuming are the 501st Legion for the bad guys, the Rebel Legion for the good guys, and the Mandalorian Mercs for Mandos.
What you describe, a cross between TOR Jedi and Clone Wars, wouldn't be a costume that was officially recognised by any of these groups, but there are a lot of resources to find through the groups to make or buy the armour. Alcfalath's picture there is a good indication - that's a costume with vacformed armour, which is available to buy if you know where to look. The soft parts are extra on top.
Side note - Cooky, I'd love to see a screen accurate Vader costume for $500, even 500 pound. Most people who make screen accurate Vaders spend at minimum three times that much, often quite a bit more. Most places that sell complete costumes to the public sell things that are "Good enough", not actually screen accurate, though they may claim it is.
The general rule in costuming is:
You can have it-
-cheap
-quick
-well made
Pick 2, you'll never have all 3.
If you want it quick and cheap, it won't be well made.
If you want it cheap and well made, be prepared to put a lot of time into it.
If you want it quick and well made, be prepared to pay a lot for it.

Interesting stuff. Definitely paying attention to this thread
Reminds me of the:
Welcome to college

-Sleep
-Healthy Social Life
Pick two.
