[Tothiro]

But who's the one in the blue cape with the lightsaber?

Luke Jedi?

Pretty much - but it's just one of the prototype suits. I usually make a pattern twice, trying to get all my mistakes/changes out the first time and then sticking with the second. The blue-gray is the fabric I will likely use for his vest - I didn't have a dark brown at hand when I started it.

I'll probably use it for a background cantina Pa Walton

Btw: several SW characters seems to have these "suspender like" elastics around their legs (like Bossk). I can't help but wonder: what would be their purpose?

Don's pretty much got it. Both the Bossk and BoShek film outfits were re-purposed British air force flight suits. I would imagine the gear is for flight ejection and parachute deployment. I was watching the 60's film version of First Men In The Moon last week and noticed the BoShek flight suit makes another appearance in the beginning, when the "modern" international crew are landing on the moon. It's a Fun Fact!

If only this line were to really happen.

Ugh, I know...
Then we could get the little flight vests fabric-printed with the folds and little gizmos. I'm thinking about a vinyl sticker right now actually...

But hey! If anyone gets a lucky Power-Ball ticket, I'm always available for sculpting and R&D

They look like the straps you'd use when rapelling; so they're probably supports for some kind of ejection mechanism, or G-restraint. That way all the weight and inertia isn't on your shoulders.

And those are great figures!

Very nice, all of them.

But who's the one in the blue cape with the lightsaber? He's standing just off to the right of the jawas in the picture.

Luke Jedi?

[Gorn Captain]

Great customs!
