Description: Male Tusken Raider
Prefix: DZ
Detachment: Krayt Clan
Context: Episode IV: A New Hope
Fearsome desert savages inhabiting the rocky Jundland Wastes, Tusken Raiders are the foremost reason Tatooine colonists do not wander far from their isolated communities. Extremely territorial and xenophobic, Tusken Raiders will attack with very little provocation. They show no allegiance to even their native world-mates, as these nomads have attacked Jawa scouting parties on occasion. Covered from head-to-foot in tattered rags and robes, Tusken Raiders — or Sand People as they are also known -- brandish a deadly bladed club known as a gaderffii. They also carry projectile rifles with which to shoot at passing vehicles. The male of the species tends to be the aggressors.

| Required Costume Components
|
|
The following costume components are present and appear as described below.
|
|
|
|
Helmet / Mask
- A fully wrapped head of similar design matching Episode 4.
- Unmodified commercially available latex masks are inaccurate.
-
Masks built on a latex base are acceptable.
- Cloth wrapping is used for the main part of the head.
- All wraps are of the same color and made from duck cloth or bull denim.
- Head wraps are not unkempt or hang loosely over the neck or shoulders.
- Leather or simulated leather is used for the "snout" wrapping.
- Mask has nine metal or simulated metal detail pieces:
- (2) eye stalks.
- Eye stalks taper toward the front with two slots cut into the underside of each piece
- (4) head spikes.
- Head spikes have a slight taper.
- (2) cheek tusks.
- (1) nose piece with two vertical slots.
- Screening or tinted lenses are used to conceal eyes and mouth from outside of mask.
- The finished mask is weathered and dirty.
- If the mask is not sufficiently long to conceal the neck at all times a neck seal of similar fabric to the wraps of the helmet, arms and boots is worn.
- The neck seal can be a thin "scarf" of fabric, but is not thick and bulky as is seen on prequel Tuskens.

|
|
|
Neck Breather
- Device worn around the neck of a design similar to that seen in
Episode 4.
- Neck Breather resembles a small 3" to 4” cylinder, approximately 2" in diameter, with tapered caps on either end connecting to a tube, which runs behind the neck.
- Breather has knurled end caps and flare nuts on each end.
- Some references show a single small ridge (approximately 1/4" wide and 1/8" high) running around the center of the cylinder.
- Cylinder is wrapped in leather or leather like material.
- The overlapping end seam of the leather wrap is visible on the front of the breather with the lip facing upwards.

Inner Robe
- Inner Robe is made of a textured, sand-colored fabric.

- This Inner robe is worn underneath the bandolier(s).
- Robes and mask conceal all skin around neck.
- The bottom edge of the robe is un-hemmed and tattered.
- If worn without an outer robe (See "Note" listed under Outer Robe), loose sleeves cover to approximately 4" above the wrist.
|
|
|
|
Outer Robe
- Outer Robe is very loose fitting and made of a textured, and weathered, sand colored fabric.
- Basket weave fabric, such as Monk's cloth or similar is recommended.
- Outer Robe is worn over the bandolier(s) and inner robe and reaches to at least the bottom of the inner robe.
- Outer Robe extends along the arm to the wrist.

- The bottom edge of the robe is un-hemmed and tattered.
- There are no seams at the shoulders, but a single seam up the middle of the back is acceptable.
- The finished robe is weathered.
- Note: If no no outer robe is worn, the Tusken becomes a ANH SE "Bantha Rider". With this variant, (3) bandoliers are worn.
- Two crossing the chest and one around the waist.
|
|
|
|
Bandoliers
- At least one (1) bandolier is worn across the chest or around the
waist.
- Bandoliers are of British 1903 pattern, Martini Henry, Turkish Ottoman or similar recreations, and matching the style in the movie.
- Note: Swedish bandoliers are allowed for Level 1 original trilogy Tusken Raiders for waist bandoliers only, but are discouraged as they are not screen accurate.
|
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
- Only Turkish Ottoman, 1903 and Martini Henry and the unnamed apparently custom made waist bandolier seen on the Tusken in the cliff flight scene are acceptable.
- Reproductions are acceptable for level 2.
|

|
|
|
|
Arm Wraps

- No wraps are on the hand / palm.
- Wraps conceal the cuffs of the gloves and all skin on the arms.
- The wraps continue up the arm until concealed within robes.
|
|
|
|
Waist Sash
- Waist Sash is made of a similar fabric to the inner robe.
- Waist Sash consists of a 6" to 7” girth belt that ties in the back.
- Knotting is acceptable if an outer robe is worn, if no outer robe is worn then the sash is laced.
- No fraying and no excess hangs from the knotting or attachment.
- The sash is worn under any waist bandolier.
|
|
|
|
Pants
- If the bottom edge of the inner robe is short enough to likely expose any leg above the boot (such as when moving or kneeling), tan or brown pants are worn.
- A similar fabric to that of the robes or arm wraps is recommended.
- The pants are weathered and dirty.
|
|
|
|
Footwear
