That costume is not suspect thoughI have to admit, I always suspect any item that is ever put on display as being a reproduction (not just costumes, but even works of art, such as the Mona Lisa), to prevent the original from being damaged, but I guess that's just my suspicious nature

that saber, as I posted in the thread that was posted here, was made for ROTS but Lucas decided to drop it, in fact Obi-Wan was to use it and lose it in the original fight with Dooku.I don't recall the comment, could you refresh my memory? I know that the saber used in AotC was not the same prop as used in TPM because it 'went missing' after filming *coughEwanhasitcough* and they had to replace it. Was it (the display saber) supposed to be the original or a recreation of it? I've heard differing opinions on if Obi-Wan was actually using the same saber (in charicter reality), but during the scene when he greets the Chancellor and the Jedi Council, for a fraction of a second, just as he is stepping forwards, it is possible to see the edge of the saber's emitter beneath his robe, so I follow the theory that he somehow retrieved it after his duel and simply retained it until it was confiscated (and presumeably destroyed) on Geonosis (even though the hero prop was different)

As for the tabards, yes seperate, I have seen several picturs of just the leather tabards off, leaving the cloth ones on. the cloth tabards are almost exactly like Obi-Wans, stopping at the back and about an inch longer in the front.
That's certainly a unique character feature. Do you mean an inch longer than Obi-Wan's tabbards or an inch longer than the obi in the front?
