Yea! No kidding! Jedi costumes aren't cheap! Since the begining of September I've been collecting the pieces of my Jedi Costume, not only to find what I liked, but to get the money, too. In the end the priceless moments are worth it! I've had my friends who also attended the con compliment the attending Northern Order Jedi that we all looked sooooo great! Hey GL!! Need Jedi doubles!!

standing in your front lawn at halloween, and from a distance you hear the neighborhood children and adults say, there's a jedi master over ther, way to priceliess.........
also priceless, is when the adults know your costume better than the kids do, and the kid goes what are you suppose to be, that smirky smile you give them, excellently priceless...............

Yeah, a lot of the people from around here look at your costume and say something like "What are YOU dressed up as?"

so many times I go to stuff with Chicago Force...and I am the only one in costume....I feel a little awkward at first...but any chance I get to wear the garb...I take it... I am going to do a 5K Hunger Walk here with Chicago Force....but I don't think I will wear the Jedi garb to that...although....my boots are comfortable... so Em....next time you go to the Mall....wear your garb....lol....I am sure you will have tons of moments to report....

LOL...I bet I would....and I would get alot of pictures taken too. Usually on Halloween Day I get dressed with some other fans (klingon) and we take candy to the malls, walk around and when a kid comes up to us we give them some. That is alot of fun. This year I'll be dressed as a Jedi of course....LOL

Last Halloween I worked in my dress down Jedi garb, which is shorter than the formal one, and had people try and buy it off my back all day long....PRICELESS! And not one asked what I was supposed to be! Even more Priceless.
