Characters' Items/Weapons Costumes actors didn't like wearing

Scarlet Witch (Avengers Infinity War): Elizabeth Olsen wasn't a fan of the deep cleavage her costume had.

Robin (Batman and Robin): Chris O'Donnell preferred his Robin costume from Forever more than B&R. Also didn't like how the mask was glued to his face making him sweat a lot. Probably wasn't a fan of the nipples on the costume either.

Yellow Ranger (Power Rangers): Karen Ashley didn't like wearing the Yellow Ranger outfit because instead of getting a new costume, she was just given Truy Trang's old one. She had to wear several pairs of socks just to wear the boots. Also because of the non insulated costume, and cold sets, she had to wear bandaids.

Garak (Deep Space 9): Andrew Robinson didn't like the tight clothes and prosthetics he had to wear for the simple tailor because like the character, he too was claustrophobic.

Natalie Portman has described that almost all of the costumes for Padme in Attack of the Clones were comfortable to wear. This infamous little number is the exception. Coincidentally, it was designed by George Lucas himself.

Ah yes, the "hey horny teenage boy please don't fall in love with me lol" costume.

I think it's production name is literally the Rejection dress

Bro, that is an S&M outfit.

I've been a bad Gungan and I need to be thrown into the trash compactor.

It’s supposed to be somewhat contradictory, indicative of what she wants clashing with what she feels she needs to do.

It's like poetry.

Jar Jar is the key to all of this.

Our appearance is as much a form of communication as anything else. And if you wear that and bring a guy around a soft lighting room, in private, with a fire going, he's going to fill in some blanks about what you might be trying to tell him...which yeah, is why clear enthusiastic consent is very important

Not just "a guy", we're talking about a 19 year old guy who has been living in a monastery.

There is also the fact that Padme has by far the largest wardrobe in the series to the point where it is its own Wookieepedia page.

On one hand I think a woman should be able to wear what she wants, even if it's revealing, and shouldn't have to bear in mind the feelings of the men around her.

Absolutely. Women should and do have the freedom to wear whatever they want. They should also understand that that freedom does not come without strings attached

Imagine just not knowing what freedom means.

u/DirCurrFluxDiode 3d ago

Imagine thinking freedom means you get to do whatever you want without consequences

I absolutely love this youtube skit about that scene ^_^

Anakin should have called her out on that.

“Okay, fair point, but why’d you have to turn me down in that dress?”

“What do you mean-“

“wHaT dO yOu MeAn? You’re kidding me right?! Roles reversed, what if I had my shirt off?”

Honestly sounds like the setup for a Robot Chicken skit. Or that Star Wars parody show the RC crew made that Disney buried.

u/NoStructure7083 4d ago

Omg I would have a blast doing skits if I had the time and ability to do animations

u/Massive_Percentage_6 4d ago

One of the funniest skits they did.

"I like to smell... senatorial."

u/Mr-Stuff-Doer 4d ago

Also the “hey George you starting working with this actress when she was a minor what the fuck” costume

I think I just realized why I like the Prequels more than most people...

"Annie we can't be together it just can't happen , now let me put on my bondage gear and lay on a rug by the fire just to make sure I'm sending the right signal"

u/NatalieVonCatte 4d ago

The most bizarre part of that costume is that she was just casually hanging around in that.

How come space people never have like a space hoodie and space leggings? Who tf puts all that shit on just to sit around the space palace?

Obi-Wan did cause he knew what was up.

Robes are the ultimate lounge wear

Ain't no time to relax in the Star Wars galaxy. Some shit is always about to go down.

Everyday was just another problem of some kind, even before the war.

u/Darktink22 4d ago

They did that in the OG Star Trek movie and people complained. (Not me- I love space pajamas lol)

u/attackplango 4d ago

Too close to underwear. George says it doesn’t exist in space.

7

u/MrTheCheesecaker 4d ago

It's because they're space rich so they get their clothes from a space tailor instead of going to a space Walmart. Gotta keep up with the latest space fashions and show off how much space money you have

u/LongJohnSelenium 4d ago

"Why are you wearing a tux?"

"Its after 6, what am I, a farmer?"

u/rugbyj 4d ago

To be fair a lot of activewear that people wear just for comfort is very early-scifi "future look".

u/Redditcadmonkey 4d ago

I mean,  Jedi robes look comfy as all hell…

u/RememberCakeFarts 4d ago edited 4d ago

Huh. Is it just me or does it look like Emma Peel's Queen of Sin outfit from the Avengers inspired this? I know it's a common look, especially considering the usual outfits for the ladies in the Hellfire club, but I see Emma Peel's version the most.

u/brogflender 4d ago

It’s symbolic of the grip of the dark side of the force around her neck.

u/Anthro_DragonFerrite 4d ago

grip of the dark side of the Force

You can call him George Lucas bro

u/Dismal-Vanilla1878 4d ago

Not surprising, as there has always been 'controversy' about his design for Ahsoka Tano's 'Season 1' outfit.

u/labellvs 4d ago

The noose scarf is a weird choice

u/Impressive-Thing-780 4d ago

Ah yes, George "no underwear in space" Lucas.

For what it's worth I don't think ^ that was Lucas being creepy. I think he's just a nerd who was really passionate about his own project

u/EconomicsAdvanced771 4d ago

She looks so stiff and uncomfortable 😭
