Star Wars revolves around the story of Anakin Skywalker. Skywalker was a Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic, a hero of the Clone Wars and the Chosen One of the Jedi Order. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, he was known as Darth Vader.

​

Anakin was one of the first sewing projects I ever took on. The Jedi robes were made up of several layers of brown fabrics, which made color matching a bit of a challenge. What made this costume special is the weathering details. I chose to create the post-Mustafar lightsaber duel look for Anakin.

Mustafar is a volcanic planet, and while fighting outside, Anakin was hit with burning debris and since he had turned to the dark side, his eyes were a haunting yellow/red. Once I had assembled the costume, I used a lighter and acrylic paint to burn and distress the robes to match the movie. To complete the look, I used special effect makeup and contacts to create the sunken yellow eyes and facial scar.
