AceShowbiz - New details about Luke Skywalker's new costume in "Star Wars Episode VIII" have emerged online. MakingStarWars.net claims to have known "an accurate" description of another costume that will be worn by the self-exiled Jedi master, who is portrayed by Mark Hamill, in the follow-up to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
It was reported back in April that in the upcoming movie, Skywalker's costume would be much darker and more in line with his "Return of the Jedi" wardrobe. "Luke Skywalker wears a darker costume compared to what we saw in 'The Force Awakens'. This costume is more evocative of his 'Return of the Jedi' clothes in cut and color," the site claimed.
And now, MakingStarWars.net provides the description of the new Jedi robe along with the illustration. "The costume is apparently just filthy most of the time," claims the site. "Skywalker is more like Yoda on Dagobah in terms of style than the white regal costume he wore to meet Rey at the end of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'."
"This costume gets a lot dirtier in the film than the cartoon depiction by Lumberjack Nick," the site added. "You will also notice there isn't really any belt or anything for his lightsaber. It makes us wonder if what our friends in Ireland saw was actually a saber or not during the filming, as there seems to be some contention as to if [Skywalker] ever actually uses one in this film."
No official plot details have been released as of now. It remains to be seen if Skywalker's new costume will grant him some new powers. It's also unclear if he still wants to use Jedi weapon lightsaber in the upcoming movie.
"Star Wars Episode VIII" is set for a December 15, 2017 release in U.S. theaters. Directed by Ryan Johnson, the movie centers on the story of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Luke Skywalker, Leia (Carrie Fisher) and other characters as they fight back the force of the First Order.
Other returning cast members include Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson, Lupita Nyong'o and Andy Serkis who reprise their roles as Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, General Hux, Maz Kanata and Supreme Leader Snoke respectively. They are joined by Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, Warwick Davis and Kelly Marie Tran.
