A better look at Rey's new outfit from the movie. It looks a LOT like Jedi robes.

At least the color scheme is a bit unique, at least for this series' protagonists.

Also she seems to have let her hair down. Kind of reminds me of Qui Gon Jinn a bit even.

She's still using Luke's lightsaber too, it seems.

I was reminded of Qui-Gon too.

There's plenty of people who unironically think Rey's a Jinn, though. tongue

That being said, that planet in the image looks really cool. It reminds me of Rakata Prime, or rather, the temples in the background remind me of it.

Interestingly enough, speaking of Jedi robes, there's actually nothing in the OT that indicates Jedi had robes as an actual uniform - those could have easily been Obi-Wan and Yoda's scraggly old hermit outfits and nothing else.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

By the same token though there's nothing to indicate they aren't. Considering their warrior monk style, it's hardly a stretch to think the Jedi made drab robes their thing.

My personal canon is that the Jedi robes were actually a mark of false humility, in the vein of "Look how ascetically I live, with these drab robes...in this fabulously well-appointed temple/palace, being on personal terms with the leader of the Galaxy..."

A truly humble person wouldn't be like, 'WHO?! WHO DOESN'T WANT TO WEAR THE RRRROBE?!'

  • Anakin: Master, why is my Force Ghost so much younger than yours?
  • Obi-Wan: You appear as the Force remembers you, Anakin.
  • Anakin: The Force considers me young and vibrant? That's quite the compliment. I'm not sure if I'm worthy of it.
  • Obi-Wan: No. It's just that this is how you looked the last time the Force could bear to look at you.
  • Anakin: Oh. I understand. Because it was ashamed of my fall to the Dark Side.
  • Obi-Wan: ...no. Because all of your limbs were cut off and your face melted. It was very distressing to look at.
  • Anakin: ...
  • Obi-Wan: It's an omnipresent energy field, Anakin. It can be as shallow as it wants to be.

The Force has a thing for wrinkly old Muppets then, Yoda didn't get any sexier in his Force ghost.

Mild note: Dark Rendezvous is actually pretty great. It expands on Yoda and Dooku's relationship and Yoda's darker side as well as Dooku's lighter side.

Total sidenote, but old school Jedi robes look comfy as hell. Like "let's just take a nap in this thing" comfortable.

There's plenty of people who unironically think Rey's a Jinn, though.
I mean, at least Qui Gon breaking the Order's vows makes way more sense than Obi Wan doing it.

"You wanna buy some deathsticks?"

-Obi-Wan has flashbacks-

Qui-Gon: "Look, we're undercover. Sometimes a Jedi's got to do what a Jedi's got to do. Trust me, Master Yoda loves this stuff."

I guess that explains why Obi-Wan looked 60 when he was 50.
