Post Who looks like who?
Had an idea this morning, might be equivalent to "trolling", we'll see.

If we ever get a gig which is more heavily skewed towards canon representations, it might be a timesaver to start thinking about who you or others could "be" in a pinch. I know we pride ourselves (as does most SaberWars members) on our non-canon characters, but if it helps to get us into a con, I can put it aside temporarily. I'm not so much concerned with the costumes itself (which could cost a pretty penny) but what Jedi from canon you think you could conceivably look like (no Jabba jokes, etc.)

Now, I'm no expert on canon Jedi, but I think I could possibly pull off Yun from SW: Jedi Knight II. :D

Hell, while I'm at it, DJ could probably do Kyle Katarn.

Any other ideas?

Yeah, see, I knew this thread could potentially cause offense, but I posted it anyways. Bad me. (not that I think that anyone's offended so far, I don't think?...)

Fact is, you never know what people can pull off. We saw this black dude at Wizard World with a great Darth Maul costume (I don't remember if he was with 501st or what). I was however thinking only of body type and overall "look" when I started this thread.

Hmmm. I could probably be Kai Justiss, the closest Jedi I can find that looks like me: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kai_Justiss

Yes, he's male, but he's a long-haired Asian-looking male (based on a real-life Asian dude). If I grew my hair out, this is probably the closest I can do.

If worrying about race isn't an issue, I'm willing to be any number of other Jedi. With my hair at its current length (or a bit shorter) I could probably do Episode III Anakin. I had years of being an emo teenager as character background practice.

Correction: I will not look like Yun until I drop, like, 30 pounds at least. :(

Wait, I said no Jabba jokes...

Dude no you're fine. Sure, in game he looks really skinny, but that's because of bad graphics... in the cutscenes, though... you're fine
