| | "I myself am quite intrigued by them. One of my assignments -- I will not tell you who does the assigning and how much they pay -- is to keep track of all the Jedi on Coruscant. Keep track of them -- and discourage any increase in their power."
- Commander Tarkin, Republic Outland Regions Security Force. Rogue Planet. |  | | | "Frayed at its far-flung borders and hollowed at its very heart by corruption, the Republic is in grave danger of unraveling. Order is needed, directives that will restore balance. Even the most desperate remedies should not be overlooked."

When the task of creating a costume for Episode II's teenaged Anakin Skywalker fell to Costume Designer Trisha Biggar (with the help of Concept Artists Iain McCaig and Dermot Power), there was already considerable precedent in the Star Wars universe to draw upon. Their initial thought was to give him a costume that would mirror the one worn by Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan) in The Phantom Menace. "But we wanted to have a feel of the future to become, so we looked to aspects of Darth Vader's costume," recalled Biggar. "He's still a young man who's just at the beginning of that journey," Biggar explained. "George [Lucas] said 'yes' to using leather, just to give him a bit of an edge. We really took the shape of Darth Vader's cloak and tried to steer that back to a Jedi style to create a simpler outline than the traditional Jedi cloak." "We ended up with something that could still definitely be Jedi with the hood," she said, "but just with that vaguely familiar outline."
