At Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, every character looks unique:
Author:Maria BobilaPublish date:May 15, 2019Updated onMay 14, 2019"Star Wars" fan or not, chances are you've heard a thing or two about the most anticipated debut within a theme park this summer — if not the past 10 years. "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" will welcome visitors at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.
"It was really important to our creative team that the village that we're creating of Batuu was filled with villagers, and each person would look unique as opposed to each person wearing a specific uniform," says Brenda Mercure, manager of costuming, design and development at Disneyland Resort, who boasts over a decade of experience working for one of the happiest places on Earth. "That definitely informed the design and this mix-and-match approach.
For "Galaxy's Edge," there are three categories of costumes that visitors can spot throughout Black Spire Outpost: There's, of course, the First Order, which Mercure describes as an extremely streamlined, crisp and very distinct uniform, as well as the Resistance, which is also a uniform, but a little more relaxed and worn-in. Lastly, there are the villagers, whose costumes are custom-printed to show distressed details, such as fading, dirt smudges or paint splatters.
In fact, all of the fabrics for the "Galaxy Edge" costumes are entirely custom, from the specially-chosen Pantone colors to select fibers. "We really worked hard to make these garments breathable and lightweight so that they can be worn year-round," says Mercure. "We worked with mills to get as many fabric samples [as possible] until we landed on the right one."
