Disney Parks and the Force For Change Initiative Gives us a Better Look at Rey’s The Last Jedi Outfit
All-new merchandise releases continues to give us a sneak peak at the returning characters featured in the next chapter of the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi. Today, some new merchandise that will debut at Star Wars Celebration looks to finally sheds some light on Rey’s new look for the film. Read on for more!
Disney Parks in conjunction with the Star Wars: Force for Change charitable initiative has revealed three new exclusive items that will make a debut at Booth 3463 at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017. The items feature three returning characters from the next Star Wars film, as well as a pin that includes a very cool Resistance logo.
A few of these items give us a closer look at Rey’s outfit in ‘The Last Jedi’, which we first had a glimpse of in a recent toy art for toy packaging back in early February. It appears that her outfit looks very similar to what she wore in “The Force Awakens’, but does yield a much darker color tone that gives it a cool unique edge.

May the force be with you….
Apart from the hair, the look is really similar to TFA.
Originality is forbidden in the Abrams trilogy.
Ok, I’m going to have some fun 🙂
Please, define “originality”.
I would like to see a definition of “originality” using only completely original words. I mean,if you’re going to complain about something not being original you might as well do it in an original way.

Is there an Abrams trilogy coming? When?
And in your comments. Abrams isn’t involved. Get a clue
He’s technically exec producer, but director usually has much more control.
And in this case, it’s a title, an honorific . He doesn’t have much involvement at all aside from maybe some feedback.
People still rip Mr Bey over Transformers , even when he doesn’t direct
That’s because they clearly have his stamp all over them Just look at TMNT.
Not much is really original. It’s all been done over and over. So the J.J hate train is truly ignorant. Quentin Tarrantino passed off his supposed orginalities he likes to call “homages” which really is just rip offs of great films. He’s like a mildly amusing cover band.

So an outfit for a character in a movie taking place right after or shortly after looking very similar is a bad thing? Considering several outfits in the original six were essentially the same even though they were years apart? Got it.
To me it looks like the bottom skirt part (which seemed to loop back up in TFA) is cut and are in separate panels.
Im glad its not the costume she wear right at the end of TFA, I dont like that at all.
I hope in the future whenever the alter her costumes, that they keep the glove/sleeve fabric on her arms.
I liked that costume she wore at the end of TFA. I actually preferred it to her Jakku outfit.
Finn you say? You mean the peg warmers to end all peg warmers?
I’ll save everyone the time……”That’s racist!”
My local Walmart still has the same eight Finn Black Series figures from when TFA came out, no joke.
biggest peg-warmer in my local for black series is the flametrooper. I think Finn just isn’t a very interesting figure- except for the stormtrooper Finn version of course.
No, it’s not racist. It’s just an indication that they made too many Finn figures, lol.
Its really hard to tell how much her look has changed. The outfit is different but doesn’t appear to be changed by much.
Well didn’t they said TLJ starts right off the bat after TFA. So you are technically correct; there isn’t much differences.
Maybe it because im used to her Ep7 hair style, but Im not a fan of her hair here. I think it would have looked better as a braided ponytail (which would be practical).
Additionally, (Again likely due to Ep7), I dont feel she looks good using a normal single bladed lighstsaber. I understand she has to use lukes, but I think it would be more interesting if she used it in a staff.
I probably just just need to adjust to the looks.
I suspect when she builds her own saber between VIII and IX (which I think will happen to mirror Luke’s arc in the OT) that it will be a double-bladed saber-staff. I think if it’s not, it will be a missed opportunity for something new and different (for the saga films anyway if not the franchise at large).
I agree with you, but in the other hand now it has been stablished by 3 trilogies that the dinasty comes together through Anakin’s saber. Therefore I guess she should keep it or whatever, as in some point she (or whoever) will have to pass it to the next generation.
True. But she has to create her own identity as well. Luke did the same. I think he would have still done so if he hadn’t lost the saber. He would have certainly kept Anakin’s lightsaber though, so I doubt they will throw it out with the trash or anything. But there’s no doubt in my mind that the final film will show Rey as someone who has finally come in to herself and developed her own unique voice apart from the Skywalker connection.
You mean just like the one Darth Maul used in the Phantom Menace? That was part of the saga films. So we have seen it before. But I still agree, it would be cool to see her have one like Maul’s since we’re used to seeing her battle with a staff-like weapon.
But we did see it with a Sith, it’d be neat to see it with a Light sider.
Darth Maul was a Sith though…I meant that seeing a Jedi wield one is something we haven’t seen before in the saga films. Other than the temple guards and Pong Krell in CW, you don’t really even see it in the canon at all. It’s just something I’d like to see them do on screen. They should keep the classic blue though. 🙂
Gotcha. Blue would be ok. But I have to admit, I’ve always preferred the green sabers. Luke’s ROTJ green saber was sweet – I liked it more than his father’s blue one. I hope we get to see Mean Green back in action again during The Last Jedi.
Just give me that trailer! Can’t believe I’m still so pumped for Star Wars. I’m really looking forward to catching up with the new crew. That who doesn’t want to see Master Skywalker?
It’s “Star Trader” at Disneyland. 😉
…I like it, actually. It makes sense that she wouldn’t be wearing much different than her Jakku wraps if the film takes place immediately after she finds Luke.
She wasn’t wearing her jakku outfit when she went to find Luke.
To me I read it and it feels like a non-news story. So we know what she wears. So what. If people are going to criticize her outfit they should wait until we get a full body shot because you know her shoes better be on point or else it’ll be disappointing right?
The last thing I care about is what Rey looks like. It’s going to be a Star Wars look and that’s all that matters. And clothing don’t make the character. It may give insight to the character. But a good outfit does not a movie make.
On a lighter note. T-minus 14 days and X hours until we get our first trailer for The Last Jedi 😀
I’m sure the authors of these news articles will keep your singular opinion in mind and cater to your desire.
This is the sort of rabid hardcore news site that reports almost everything Star Wars, including costumes. Don’t like it? Don’t read it.
Lol I think you’re taking my comment the wrong way. No hostility meant by it, I just think it’s a non-news story so its not something that’s a big headline in my personal opinion. I wouldn’t read the news or be an active part of the community if I didn’t respect the source. I’m sure even you’ve had opinions on news sites or papers where you felt something wasn’t necesarilly a major story of importance right? I’d be willing to bet its not that you don’t like the story, you just read it and found it to not be something too important. And I’m sure some agreed with you, and some disagreed. Doesn’t make you wrong or right really. Just an opinion. It would probably only be a problem if I were to just start crapping on anyone who’s opinion is that its great news, but I’d never do that. Star Wars news is always good news. The details may either get me pumped, upset, or feeling nothing. This one left me feeling nothing. But it doesn’t change the fact that the first thing I do everyday is go to this website and see what’s new in our favorite galaxy far far away. And I know you know as well as I do that we wouldn’t do that on a regular basis if we didn’t know what it was and weren’t major fans.
PS. Your profile pic gives me flashbacks to my childhood when I’d be doing hw and my dad would be watching Hannity
Were you here for VII? Or Rogue One? They’ll publish anything new, it’s just that kind of site. Forgive me if I seem hostile, I tend to come off as rough.
It’s all good, I think you’re still on point nonetheless.
“clothing don’t make the character”
Tell that to Darth Vader. The galaxy is not terrified of Anakin Skywalker. But when that black armor comes strolling across the deck, people get their butts in gear. I agree that a character is way more than the sum of their costume, hairstyle, and make-up etc., but costumes are important in SW. The cooler the outfit looks, the more merch they’re gonna sell. Look at Phasma – a complete non-character that sold tons of merchandise because she looked cool. We will continue to report on Rey’s outfit until we have something more important to report. Yes, we are also counting down…Just two weeks! 🙂
And don’t forget about Boba Fett. He became a fan-favorite character in no small part due to his look and demeanor. We never really got to see why he was the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy during the OT. Don’t get me wrong, I love Boba Fett too, I just think he’s another character that owes a lot of his popularity to his look.
With you too brotha. I should’ve been more explicit in my explanation for my opinion instead of leaving things out. But I kind of touched on that in my response to Hard Case saying I was looking at Rey through my perspective when it came to Luke. But you’re spot on, clothing matters of course in any visual story. Just for me I didn’t think it was too big with respect to Rey. But like any SW fan, of course I’m looking forward to seeing what new gear our heroes and villains have gotten since they’ve leveled up back in 2015… can’t believe its been so long -.-
I’m with you 100% haha. Definintely think costumes are a big part, I just didn’t slant my argument to include the Vader part because I consider him to be a different character than Rey. I probably should have stated it more but the direction I was coming from was the Luke angle through the OT which was why I said the outfit doesn’t make the character but can give insight into him because in my opinion his clothing wasn’t too big a deal for me, but seeing the transformation from white farm boy robes in ANH to the X-Wing jumpsuit/lighter wear for the Bespin duel in ESB, to the clean cut all black in RotJ, and finally back to lighter robes in TFA gave great insight into how he’s changed from film to film. I think for me the outfit I cared least about was in ESB because he was still changing, it was more seeing what he had on in RotJ that got me because it totally fit knowing what he went through in the last film and knowing this was going to be the last time we saw him and he had some big things to do. I think I’m just feeling the same way about Rey where I’m going to be more interested in seeing what she looks like in the final film when things go hard. I’m with you Hard Case, definitely cool outfits make more merch sales, but I don’t think the main character has to rely on it too much since if they’re doing their job right we’ll already love them. Either way, I know the majority (because there’ll probably a few naysayers) of people and I are gonna dig what she’s wearing nonetheless!
Changing clothes on a daily basis would be a wonderful concept for the Star Wars films to embrace.
no pls 2manytoys2buy
Really hope that Finn and Poe get wardrobe changes next and that they aren’t stuck with their TFA getup for the entire film.
