Setting aside wether you liked, or agreed with the jedi all having a uniform... I thought they were a failure.

I guess they were supposed to look like Samurai, but they didn't. Old Ben looked like a badass ronin but that just didn't translate into the PT. They looked too clean and perfect for a start. Okay-ish with the full cloak on but then they always had to throw those away to fight a duel. Underneath they looked dreadful with those dumb shoulder pads. It's difficult to describe why they look so wrong because in theory they do look quite close to Samurai dress. They were and looked impracticle to fight in.
