For 501st membership, only the requirements in black need to be met. The Bounty Hunters’ Guild defines an additional optional level of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 2, referred to as “Infamous”, are listed in blue. These optional requirements are meant for those who strive to meet the highest level of screen accuracy. Please visit the BHG web site for a full description of these standards.

This Visual Guide has been reviewed by the detachment staff and the LMO team and is certified for use as a minimum approval guideline for GMLs. GMLs are free to approve this costume type. This document is not intended to be a detailed how-to on costume construction; rather a visual guide to be used for 501st costume approval. Details on construction may be found on the respective costume detachment web forum. GMLs uncertain about an aspect of submitted costume shall post questions in the appropriate DL/GML peer review section of the Legion forum. Measurements given in this document are intended to be approximate and generalized; not criteria for approval. Requirements for all 501st costumes are proportional to the wearer in scale, fit and size. Text descriptions are only one part of the guideline. GMLs and costumers must consider both text and pictures (CRL and Reference) when reviewing the costume.

General Construction Notes All components should closely match the ANH Greedo Color Palette. Color palette is intended for reference in building, and will only be used in exacting measurement by Detachment for Infamous Level approval. A Basic level approval is only required to be similar, not exact. Latex or silicone items are to be of high quality and match in color and texture. All weathering is to closely match visual references.

Eyes are spherical and fully conceal the costumer’s eyes. A mane/mohawk extends from the top of the head, just behind the tentacles, to the collar in the back. The ‘hairs’ should be between 1.5" to 2" (4 cm – 5 cm) tall, but not taller than the tentacles. Paint on the head matches the paint scheme on the hands.

The hands have elongated fingers, extending roughly 9" to 10" (22 cm – 25 cm). Each hand has five skinny fingers with suction cup tips and no visible knuckles. The wrist section completely covers the costumer’s hand and tucks into the sleeve. Paint on the hands match the paint scheme on the head.

A 2" (5 cm) collar extends up from the body of the suit and closes in the back of the neck. A seam halfway up the collar extends horizontally around the neck dividing it into two visible portions. The suit zips up the back and the zipper should be hidden from view under the vest. A double seam runs from the crotch up to the collar in the middle of the suit. Racing stripes start at the collar and extend down each arm, to the wrists. Identical stripes start under the armpits and extend down to the ankles. Each yellow stripe has pleats that are approximately 1" (2.5 cm) tall with no gaps in between: Sleeve stripes are approximately 4 – 5" (10 cm – 13 cm) wide, or approximately half the circumference of the sleeves at the wrist. Leg stripes are a bit wider than the arms, but slightly less than half the circumference of the leg at the ankle. The suit has a slight puffy appearance, including the racing stripes, giving it a quilted look. Sleeves are slightly thicker looking than the body of the suit, similar to the look of the collar.

Four pockets appear on the front of the vest; two on each side. All pockets are in a vertical line, starting approximately 2" (5 cm) outwards from the centerline of the vest (or in similar proportion to the wearer). Top left pocket is approximately 3" – 4" (7.5 cm – 10 cm) square. Top right pocket is oddly shaped with a narrow top, and an open slanted section that extends outward so the pocket at the bottom is the same width as the one below it.
