CUSTOM DARK JEDI

A Dark Jedi is someone who has studied the ways of the Force and learned its benefits. For many reasons, they are turning from the light, becoming disillusioned and negative. Losing their faith in the religion they once believed in. They may feel tormented and struggling greatly as they feel the pull to the darkness. They may have experienced the thrill and rush of the unlimited power calling to them, and they want MORE! They are realizing the merits of the Dark Side, and seeking the power that only the darkness can provide. This struggle and fall from the light, does come with a price, and this should be reflected in the overall look and appearance of this costume/character choice.  A custom Dark Jedi does not wear traditional tunics.

Original Design: Your costume must be unique and not resemble characters from other franchises (like Assassin’s Creed, Destiny, etc.).

Force User Appearance: The costume should clearly identify you as a Dark Force User, not a smuggler, Mandalorian, or other Star Wars character archetype. 

No Iconic Masks or Armor pieces: The Custom Dark Jedi standard is not meant to make alternate costumes for face characters. No iconic masks or armor pieces from face characters such as Darth Vader, Revan, or Kylo Ren will be approved for an original character. Armor and masks from lesser-known characters may be used, if it is deemed that the average fan who thinks a Tie Pilot is Darth Vader would not recognize where the piece came from. 

Star Wars Aesthetic: The design should fit within the established look of the Star Wars universe (no cyberpunk, Ren Faire, or goth styles).

Reference Material: You may be asked to provide 1-2 examples from Star Wars (ideally Dark Side characters) to support your design choices.

Required Pieces: Your costume must include all items listed in the Parts List for Necessary Pieces.
