kylostahp:bomberqueen17:#wHAT IS THIS#he’s like halfway between gq motherfucker and giant nerdlord#i’m so uncomfortable #director krennic (via @kylostahp)I’m just gonna say, I was kind of baffled and delighted by the costuming here. Because the trailers, with the white cape, and everyone flipping their shit about him dramatically walking through some water etcetera– I was like, aw fuck, there’s gonna be another Aesthetic Cool villain, I don’t need this in my lifeand then on the giant screen there he was with his weird white outfit that clearly nobody had ever ironed and like what is that, waterproof canvas or fucking, like, ripstop fucking nylon, what the fuckI couldn’t stop staring at the tailoring of the shoulder things, like– that’s definitely like a nylon blend, what the hell, is it quick-drying or what, no it looks terrible. And it clearly can’t be pressed; it’s not that someone neglected to press it, it’s that on its best day that’s as good as it’s capable of looking. It can’t take a crease and is just going to sit there being sort of cold and plastic and rumpled, and it drapes like a fucking tent. Here I come, I’m so dramatic, I’m wearing a fucking EZ-Up.Sure, it’s probably stainproof, like a goddamn raincoat, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get slowly and inexorably just– grubby. And you can throw it in the washer and hang it to dry and it’ll dry in no time but it won’t really be clean. And you can’t iron it. That’s just the best it can do. It’s the only way to have a white cape, but it’s pretty clearly not really worth doing.(Look at his sleeves. The cape is bluish. The sleeves are not. The cape is goddamned nylon or something, the sleeves probably something like polyester. They’re distinctly different shades of white. That’s fucking terrible.)The extreme and obvious GQ/nerdlord dynamic tension is pretty much exactly what I wanted and didn’t know I wanted. (Bail Organa, meanwhile, was clearly wearing some form of wool blend, with a heft and luscious drape you could really mash your face into; notice the upper part of the garment, where it crosses over the shoulders, has turned and stitched hems for structure but the lower opening is unhemmed, clearly made of something fulled that wouldn’t fray and needed no edge-stitching.)(I need to stop, someone make me stop.)I mean, it looks to me like he’s wearing the standard uniform tunic underneath, which is the sleeves we’re seeing–you can also see a bit of the collar, which is the standard Imperial officer uniform mandarin style. I’m guessing that the entire outer… garment is specifically for outdoor less-than-perfect-weather wear? So it’s like the equivalent of that godawful plastic poncho your dad would pull out of his knapsack when it started raining while in the cheap seats at an outdoor sports game rather than retreating to the covered stands. I can’t even tell if it has a back, or if the front panel is just tucked into his belt and the rest of it is allowed to flow free as a cape.And yet somehow he still gives off this aura of knowing he’s the best-dressed person in the room???? How???? (Also yES on Vader, there was something deeply off about Vader’s costume that I can’t put my finger on–the hang of the cape was wrong or the reflectivity of the helmet was odd or something. Almost as disconcerting as CG Tarkin.) -- source link
