all lucas has to do is have a company make full stormtrooper suits that are complete replicas and sell them. then he will have a legitimate item and the black market guys will have some competition.

unfortunately lucasfilm let master replicas contract run out and did not renew it so what company will now make the replicas of props and lightsabers.



Bwahahaha! You mean like the licensed Vader costume they came out with? The not accurate at all costume that was about $1000? Yeah, the fans ripped on it because they make costumes that are far more accurate.

The "black market" guys don't face any competition from LFL because everyone with a stormtrooper or other armor costume knows that the fans are producing more accurate costumes then LFL licensees are. Licensed costumes are an utter joke that are only there to pull more cash into LFL.


Rubies has always been a third-rate licensee. Up until now, costumes have always been a DIY thing. Museum Replicas will finally offer a licensed alternative to serious costumers.
