AOTC Red Guard CRL

[LuciousTalvloinne]

By the request of the XO. We are to knock out a CRL of the Prequel before she returns Monday.

I: A PREQUEL Episode II Attack of the Clones-Style Royal Guard costume MUST have:

• Helmet: painted and gloss-finished in a crimson red shade that matches the outer robe, with a dark visor that allows maximum visibility but hides the wearer’s features.

• Force Pike: 4' (122cm) minimum in length, silver in color with a black or silver pommel, two hand grips at the base, shaft, and screen-accurate emitter tip.


• Outer Cloak: Constructed of crimson red velvet or velveteen, fully lined in burgundy or dark purple fabric, also preferably velvet or velveteen that matches the inner robe. Velour and crushed panne velvet are not acceptable. The cloak should cover both the front and back of the wearer, with two arm slit for the wearer's arms; with the front of the robe being pinned over lap the back. To give a tunic over a cape look.

• Inner Robe: Burgundy or dark purple "inner robe" constructed of a long-sleeve shirt-style top flowing into a dress style bottom hemmed a few in/cm shorter than the outer cloak. Slits can be added and matching pants worn beneath for ease of movement. Velvet/velveteen is recommended for this garment, but velour and crushed panne velvet will not be accepted.


• Sash: A Jedi-style waist sash, 3-4” (7.62-10.16cm) made of the same color/material as the wearer's inner robe; worn over the inner robe.

• Boots: Black, texture less, leather/synthetic leather (non glossy) “Jack” boots, squared toe (rounded toe in ladies styles are acceptable), with a relatively conservative heel, no visible straps/buckles, or ornamental stitching; that reach high enough to cover the wearer's ankles are acceptable as a minimum until red boots can be found.

Crimson Empire bodysuit, armour, and boots may be worn under any of the film costumes.

• Gloves: Burgundy or dark purple cloth or suede gloves with no extraneous straps/buckles or ornamental stitching. The gloves should be long enough to cover the wearer's wrists.



II: A PREQUEL Episode II Attack of the Clones-Style Royal Guard costume SHOULD have (but not required):

• A dark red visor in the helmet that is deep enough to conceal the wearer’s features.



III. A PREQUEL Episode II Attack of the Clones-Style Royal Guard costume MAY have (but not required):

• Shoulder pads to allow for the armored-look without the commitment to armor.

• Neck Seal for “Helmet Off” photos.

• A DH-17 heavy blaster pistol with holster, or red leather/synthetic leather holster. Holster should be standard “Imperial Issue”. The EU states that RG's carry "heavy blasters" in addition to their pikes. The Crimson Empire comics depict the DH-17 as being their blaster.

• Crimson Empire bodysuit, armour, and boots may be worn under any of the film costumes

Clarification:

I think the "Red leather gloves" should be moved from "Should Have" to "May Have".


i.e.
Long Cloth or suede gloves are correct for AOTC, but you may use ROTS style leather gloves.

ok the picture i saw they looked like leather. Find me a picture and I'll fix it.

[Peregrinus]

They're on the Detachment Photobucket. AOTC had cloth gloves, whilst ROTS were leather.
