New Jedi order (non-canon costuming group)

[Drichar Deis]

That sounds awesome, as long as someone has the time and patience to enforce and maintain it.

Id be up for it....

An alternative to "New Jedi Order", which is tied to a particular SW era, is you could start a "Grey Jedi" costuming group...Grey Jedi "do their own thing" don't follow the dictates or missions of the Jedi Council and therefore wear whatever kind of 'robes' [or other clothing, gear, even blasters or armours] they like.

Therefore if your group represents Grey Jedi the members can be 'free' with their costuming Imagination and still kinda-sorta 'canon'...at least EU wise...and Grey Jedi exist throughout SW history...KOTOR's Jolee Bindo is the quintessential Grey Jedi from when they co-existed alongside the more orthodox Old Republic era Jedi Order...so Grey Jedi can be even more imaginative with their character stories.

Somebody wants to wear Mando or Stormtrooper armour pieces along with robes? Fine, maybe he/she is a Grey Jedi who took them off a defeated adversary.

Somebody wants to wield a red lightsaber but not be on the Dark Side? Fine, a Grey Jedi isnt bound by the traditional saber colours of the Jedi Order so red saber is a go.

Etc etc

"Grey Jedi" sounds like it might be what you are looking for to base a freer Jedi costuming group around.

I've been thinking about an idea for a costuming group for a while about a (if you like) less formal costuming group.

The idea is to have it a jedi group, but lets your imagination run a bit more free with the costume.

will obviously still have to have rules, but not as tight as some of the other costuming groups out there.

this is in no way a slate at any other costuming group. I had this idea because i've been considering making a jedi costume for a ages but want to put my own personal touches in to it. the problem there is too much tampering and it becomes "non-canon". costume groups wont look at it. then i figured what if there was a jedi costuming group that specialised in non-canon costumes, that let peoples imagination go nuts! maybe even giving some back stories to the characters etc.

anyway would there be any interest for something like this, let me know and we could maybe start working towards something, starting maybe with a free website and building from there...

WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?! I think this is an excellent idea, especially as such that my primary jedi costume focuses on the KOTOR era where Jedi wore armor along with their robes. And if you've seen any of the KOTOR comic books, not all jedi during those times wore brown and tan.

Maybe if you go with the Potentium, anyone who's read some of the NJO novels should know full well what that is.

The mando armor is actually really good, we just had to do a quick attachment job last minute so that didn't go as well, but it's all been redone and it looks great.

Mini Vader is actually my 6 year old daughter! It was by far the highlight of my halloween

Heres another for ya



Ok, back on topic...

[Tradeliphine]

haha, ty for the followup, and I wasnt saying the mando was bad by any means, just that the vader stole the spotlight imo

[jaiden_teed]

ok, im glad this idea is getting a bit of interest.

i used "new" jedi order, not because of the era because i thought it suited the idea. but if someone can think of a better name let me know, also im going to be looking for ideas on the rules of acceptance, also if anyone has any other ideas in general let me know too. i will hopefully start somekind of temporary site in the next couple of weeks.

One idea i have is to still use the ranking system some other groups use padawan, knight, master, council member etc how it will be decided yet im not sure but again any ideas are welcome.

By the way that jedi costume with mando armour looks awesome leximus, well done.

well a while ago i talked about this with tim. i sent him a PM regarding turnign tcss into a jedi/sith costuming group to he said not right then so i didnt say anything more about it i love it thoguh. please tell me theres no age thing!!! i personally turned down the idea of mandos clones and sith for the 501st cause of strict policy. this group being for jedi would be great!!!!
