I thought now would be a good time to show how I envision some of the various characters/groups/items/etc. that I have introduced so far within my script.

I see Obi-Wan as looking like a young Kenneth Branagh.

Basically, I came to see him as my ideal image of Ben after watching his adaptation of Hamlet, where he had platinum blond hair -- which reminded me of how Ben's character looked in the OT, what with his white hair -- and all-black clothes, which pretty much reminded me of Luke's outfit in ROTJ, which was more-or-less a look I had all ready come to associate with the Jedi in my SW Universe.

This is the hairdo I envision Ben having within my script.

Suffice it to say, the TPM concept art has had a major influence upon the development of my SW Universe over the years.

This is pretty much the outfit Obi-Wan is going to wear throughout the script.

Unlike with the Coruscanti Jedi, I didn't want Ben to wear something which was reminiscent of a uniform or monastic robes, but something that was more casual -- more "civilian" -- while still retaining the overall black look of Luke's ROTJ outfit.

Naomi Watts is the closest real-world person I can think of that looks like Siri Tachi. That's all I'm going to say.

This is how I envision the Force Hound to look like beneath his helmet (that's Lance Henrikson from the 1991 adaptation of The Pit and the Pendulum, BTW).

The uniform of a Coruscanti Jedi Knight.

 

The uniform of a Coruscanti Jedi Master (notice the cloak).

Death Watch Mandalorian by DuracellEnergizer

The uniform of the Mandalorian Death Watch.

Basically, I got the idea of this look from the Imperial Sourcebook, which mentioned that the uniform of Palpatine's Royal Guard was based in part on the uniform of the Mandalorian Death Watch (something subsequent EU did not run with, BTW, as every image I've found online of Death Watch Mandalorians has them looking like your basic Mandalorian, more-or-less).
