sw-costumes:Obi-Wan Kenobi | Jedi Robes | The Phantom Menace & Revenge of the SithWhen designing Obi-Wan’s outfit for Episode I, the costume department wanted something that was reminiscent of how he had looked in Episode IV, yet slightly different. His traditional Jedi robes are noticably shorther than in Episode IV, and his undertunic and pants much lighter. In Episode III the goal was to link the younger Obi-Wan’s appearance with how he had appeared in Episode IV nearly 30 years earlier, and such his colours were changed to those of Alec Guinness’ original robes.And dammit it’s a pity. I could have done with shorter tunics on him for more movies. -- source link
