You're right, I was thinking 200 because of that quote right there, but thats after Yavin. If you take time up to the era of Cade Skywalker, it's closer to the time you quote. My bad!

That being said though, you're right that fashion may not change too much in that much time. But the standard of what's acceptable for a Jedi to wear does. You can see this between the Jedi of KOTOR and the Jedi of JK3. JK3 is closer to our timeline than KOTOR, as well. Robes are not the only clothing in the universe.

If you don't like wearing something different thats fine. It's a personal preference. I'd even go so far to say that you should make that a character trait to bring up in RP. It could make for interesting IC interactions. But that shouldn't OOCly restrict others who do not share the same opinions.

I'm fine with people wearing clothes which aren't traditional, it makes things interesting lol. I was just pointing out what sort of clothing you'd expect the current Jedi to wear.

As long as your outfit fits into the setting, I don't think there should be any issues. You don't walk around in a tank top and some jeans in the temple, but you might have it as one of your skins for when you need to dress more like a civilian for a mission or something. Little bit of common sense, dress appropriate for the situation (just like anyone would irl)

Besides that, I don't think I care.

Well,

Glad we got the issue of clothing in a time line cleared.

Next?

As you may or may not recall, Sared and I did write-ups about the thinking behind our skins that can be found here and here. I'd encourage people to have a shot at writing their own - put pen to paper and jot down some of your reasons for having your character dress the way they do.

Good idea chaps, I might join in on that.

Good idea... might join you on this when I have time.

I think your in need of a major overhaul and come back if you are intending on doing that, Jo.

Pfft, Jo's attires were completelly ok and I don't plan much changes in that regard. Means, I liked what she had and I intend to keep her the way she was.

And not sure what timberland boots are, tbh

I know, was only teasing.

Also for reference: Timberland Boots

I think Jo would rather eat her tunics than to wear *this*

Haha! Least it leave a foot print when you stomp over Azra'el!

Azra'el's head is too big to be flattened by mere Timberlands. Anyway, back on topic..

Yes sorry, my fault apologies. Back to the topic.

I agree with some of the things mentioned, especially skimpy outfits, and some not. As someone (lol) who has both 'hoodies' and armour/stealth clothing, I read through peoples comments in response to these parts and I agree. There is nothing wrong with them, unless they go overboard, but with having something out of the ordinary means the person should also know when and when not to wear such clothing. It shouldn't really come under a 'Do and do not'. They're simply clothing which are to be used(should be used) for a specific situation, there isn't anything wrong with that.

That said, I can't see how hoodies are an issue at all, surprised they've been brought up. Is it worth giving a damn if you haven't seen a Jedi in canon wearing one? Surely we are allowed to set own our 'style' of Jedi-wear, straying away from the usual Jedi clothing, but also keeping some logic behind what we wear, right? If we didn't want to see some change in clothing, we'd be stuck in one time period, but we aren't, we're constantly 'progressing', like our history/plot.
