Hey guys, welcome to Steel Wars.

I am comedian Steel Saunders and I do love Star Wars.

Please enjoy this classic clip which is available in full at patreon.com forward slash steel wars.

How is the approval process?

Because it has a reputation of being prickly.

Yeah, look, I guess one of the things with the costume groups,

and it's whether it's the Rebel Legion, the 501st, Mandalorian Merck's.

I mean, even the Melbourne costume group, for example,

the thing with those groups,

and because Lucasfilm, Disney now, slash of both, but they allow us to play in their

franchise. Now, in order to do that without being asked to pay fees, all of those sorts of

things, the only thing they ask of us is that we need to be screen accurate costumes.

You know, there's strict rules, when I say strict rules, for face characters, for example,

their requirements are that that person in that costume has got to be literally like they've

walked off the screen and within six metres or three, I think it's either three or six meters, literally have to look like a screen quality costume. So that's where

the fine grain detail can come into play. But there's heaps of other costumes that you can do

that are much more basic, you know, imperial offices and things like that, fairly straightforward.

Yeah. And even Jedi, you can be a generic Jedi, and there's far less requirements on a generic Jedi

than there is, say, an Anakin or an Obi-1 type character.

So, but it does vary.

But the whole point is that you are representing Lucasfilm and Disney, and we're representing

those organisations at sometimes official events.
