Hayden Christensen Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Anakin Skywalker Costume for Cosplayers

An Anakin Skywalker costume, especially from his appearance in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is one of the most recognizable clothing designs in the world of Star Wars. It represents a synthesis of Jedi culture and more serious themes, symbolizing Anakin’s slow movement towards becoming Darth Vader. Typically, the costume has dark brown and black tones, which includes an extended, voluminous tunic with different layers.

This Hayden Christensen Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Costume often details a leather or faux leather tabard, which provides it a rugged, warrior style. While the wrapping is brown or black, the side pouch arrangement and lightsaber complete the ensemble. The set also contains a couple of large, brown leather boots and dark brown pants that are a bit fitted, thus allowing for both flexibility and comfort. The dark colors of deep browns, blacks, and maroon show Anakin’s movement towards the dark side.

The dramatic quality of his movements is due in part to his cloak, which is long and loose. The wide sleeves flare out a little, leading to an energetic and strong design, particularly during tense action scenes. The costume usually features a lightsaber replica of Anakin’s, which has a particular blue blade, a symbol of his relationship with the Jedi Order before he fell. A number of versions of the costume include glove features that cover one hand, which reflects his prosthetic arm received after losing that arm in combat. The items that make up the Anakin Skywalker costume represent his depth—pulled in two directions, by the light and dark aspects of the Force as well as his responsibilities as a Jedi Knight and his future as Darth Vader.
