It's debatable whether Kihotay was just a crazy old guy who admired the Jedi, and found a lost lightsaber though. His name is a lot better than some prequel characters I won't name. ;)

He did don some armor when going into battle.

The Obi Wan flashback story from issue #24, set during the Old Republic era gives us a different outfit, which ties in nicely with Luke's ROTJ look.

All true, I'm just saying that if you ignore the PT lore, you can really get away with anything. The early pre-PT EU is a great example of that. 

I also think it's pretty amazing that they predicted Luke's black outfit several years before ROTJ. I doubt that it's anything but a coincidence, but it's still pretty interesting.
The Marvel SW comic were had some pretty wacky interpretations of the SW lore anyway.

(As for Kihotay having a better name than the PT character, I'm not to sure if I agree with that. At least the PT never made any blatant references to already existing, non SW characters. I mean Grevious, Plegeuis and Tyrannus is some pretty lazy writing, but it's a tad better than making a blatant reference to Don Quixote. Then again, I don't think "Eight for Aduba-3" was ever meant to be taken seriously, so I don't really mind.)
