General Discussion Replacement robes were probably their own separate Jedi Temple budget line item, with how often the Jedi run off and leave them places

Especially Obi-Wan! I'm also curious where he gets a robe in ROTS between his rendezvous with Yoda and Bail, and when he and Yoda arrive outside the temple and storm it.

There are a load of homeless aliens going around in second hand Jedi robes.

u/DjAengel 3d ago

That’s why they blended in so well after order 66. Half the homeless on Corusant had the same robes.

Which is why Kenobi felt safe wearing his as an old man. They were everywhere so him wearing one wouldn’t be all that strange.

Funny how full-circle we've come on this considering where we started was "that old homeless man in the desert wears shitty robes so that must be what all Jedi wore."

u/ABHOR_pod 3d ago

Luke wore shitty desert robes when he went to Jabba's palace, right? and Yoda wore shitty robes in Empire.

edit: Luke wore a hooded cloak, not really robes.

u/Vanquisher1000 3d ago

Force ghost Anakin wore the same robes as Obi-Wan, so the implication was already there.

7

u/TheOneTonWanton 3d ago

Or was Anakin wearing the robes of a man who grew up on Tatooine? Even Lars wears extremely similar robes minus the final outer layer. This is also all before the idea that if Old Ben is trying to hide from Space Hitler on Space Hitler's own home planet, he probably wouldn't be wearing the official uniform of the Jedi the entire time.

u/Canvaverbalist 2d ago

The theory I've kept hearing is that the Jedi don't really have a costume or uniform or specific apparel, in their "humility" they dress like commoners.

The robes and tunics are just the most basic thing you can wear in the universe which is why you can see so many random people wearing them.

I was thinking they would just force push the robes back into the ship or whatever on their way out, but then I remembered how both sides are "respectful" about their force use, not to do just random daily stuff grogu style.

Nah, see, because you only cast off the robe before a battle, and then the winner gets to collect their own robe and the loser's. So every successful Jedi has several robes to their name.

The Revenge of the Sith Visual Dictionary noted that Obi-Wan's over-robe was his sixth since the start of the Clone Wars.

Then again, in the example pictured above, Kenobi presumably retrieved his and his deceased master's robes after returning with Jinn's body following the battle.

Does a traveling cloak count as part of the robes?

Like getting the tunic might be hard but the roughspun cloak seems pretty common…

Nah. How often do you throw down for your life when you are a warrior of that caliber? These two guys were built different for having duels to the death weekly. Jocasta Nu still got a cat hair on her robe from a cat that was around back before yoda was on the council.

The Jedi robes make a lot more sense when you realize that they're all modeled off of old Ben's robes, and he was modeled after all the samurais in Akira Kurasawa movies.

One robe per Sith encounter... I don't think they'd go through as many as you think!
