That story was actually a tad exaggerated. And it was to avoid them being used in a low budget SF film, as had happened with Forbidden Planet. An ape head still got stolen and used in the Joan Crawford movie Trog, and some spacesuit backpacks popped up on Doctor Who.

Many key costumes and props are still very much around. Some Kubrick kept hidden away at his estate. They have been touring the world as part of the Kubrick Exhibition. I saw them with my own eyes in L.A. last summer.

In any case, a 2001 sequel was not being contemplated in 1970. Arthur C Clarke didn't even pen a book sequel until the early 80's. And Stanley didn't mind the 2010 movie, either.

Five minutes in google reveals there is an MGM building at that address, that was built in 2009. ;)

While brown robes are a popular clothing accessory throughout the galaxy, the Jedi tunic is pretty unique.

Owen's outfit is similar but a lot rougher than old Ben's tunic.

How does Yoda's attire weigh in? You decide.

 I presume Kenner had photo references for this back in the day...

As a kid I thought this was the Jedi uniform.

Well it seems I just will not be watching any new movies because I can't afford $15 to see a movie once in theaters and streaming isn't an option for me. So long Hollywood,you will miss my money that I will now spend on games and books.

 These "DVD is dead" articles have been coming out for several years now. Notice that music still comes out on CD, and you can still buy brand new vinyl records. My local Fry's just expanded their vinyl aisle. DVD isn't going to vanish the way VHS did, and certainly not anytime soon.

Can you find a bargain theater near you? It's an option if you don't mind waiting for them to get a movie that's been out for a few months.
