OK, I have a question. In order to be eligible for membership with a Jocasta Nu costume, do you need to have a lightsaber?

Kai, I'll leave this to your expertise.

On the Rebel Legion page it listed costuming standards and Lightsaber was not listed for Jocasta Nu, just wondering if it is the same here?

RL have lax regulations for jedi costumes, compared to the assembly.
Our Jedi Code, Article V, alinea 4, states
However, alinea 7 hints that we're supposed to try to reflect the saber of the character we're replicating
Also, alinea 6 states that one must site his source for "expanded universe" and this could be stretched to Jocasta Nu for the "non-saber" fact
Question - does Jocasta Nu have a saber anywhere in the EU? I think in the video games she would have, no? I can't recall...
Nevertheless, this could be discussed... it is definately not a "general case". My main assumption is that we have to follow alinea 4. Jocasta Nu must have had lightsaber training somewhen in her lifetime if she's Jedi...
EDIT - EU seems to state her has having a lightsaber at least at some point...
Wookieepedia states that around 22BBY, Cato Parasitti steals Nu's saber: it was blue when Vader killed her in 19BBY
I stand by my note that we shall follow article V, alinea 4... but its not exactly my call.
Kai?

Yes, Jocasta had a saber in Clone Wars, but I don't think it was seen on her obi. May have to watch that episode again. Maybe she keeps it under her tunic somewhere. In the movies I do not believe she was wearing one either. Although I have seen pics of her with a yellow saber. Probably 'shopped though. ah-ha! Just looked at photos online and it seems she DOES have a saber on her, behind the bag she has So I would have to say, yes you need a saber

Actually, in that photo we all thought it was a lightsaber until Dressing A Galaxy came out. It's not a lightsaber. It's a collection of tools. public.fotki.com/kait/star_wars/fidm_-_dressing_a/8jocastanu7.htmlOne might think that thing in the front could be a lightsaber but the consensus is that it is not. For movie accurate, a lightsaber would not be required but tools that look like that would be. She did wield a lightsaber in the opening of the second season of Clone Wars, so I think it could go either way. Personally, I wear a lightsaber when I'm in the Jocasta Nu costume cuz it just doesn't feel right without one. I AM working on finding items that look like those tools but I have only one right now.
