This page is a listing of the minimum requirements for specific Rebel Legion costumes. Although this list is extensive, it is meant to cover the more common costumes and is not meant to be a complete list of all possible costumes that may be admitted by the Rebel Legion. If your costume is not listed here, you should consult the Legion Membership Officer (LMO) to see if it will be admissable. Changes or additions to this list may be submitted here. For easier reference, the master list has been broken down by character.
Creatures and Droids Costume Standards
NOTE: Costume standards are a guide, and are not meant to be an all inclusive outline or list of required elements. In addition to the costume standards "check list", the Legion Costume Judges will be looking for quality of workmanship, accurate execution and use of material and overall appearance of the costume. If you have a question about fabrics, colors, and components choices for your costume build, please contact the LCJs for your category about your costume before you begin fabrication. WIP threads (Work in Progress) are strongly encouraged. (LCJ listing here)
All costumes in this category (except for droid costumes: C3PO and Guri) are eligible for membership with the Wretched Hive, the official Rebel Legion Detachment for alien and creature costumes. Please note that some costumes may categorized into more than one detachment (and may appear listed in another category).
