lol no fair, that was my project. ...which is why I'm currently working on my Baroness costume. Now as to looking like them, I'm sorry but at most conventions if you don't look the part people will not know who you are. For example, I've a rather nice EP 1 Obi Wan Kenobi outfit. However I don't know look like Ewan, so when I was at a promo for EP1 most didn't know that is who I was dressed as. Wearing OD pants and a Tan shirt dosen't make Duke, I mean I could do that and be Duke if that is all you need do. However, since I don't look like him, people wouldn't know that is who I'm dressed as. But, do what you like, I don't really care. I'm just saying our first Duke was more true to the character is all.

He's a friggin cartoon. If you're a white dude with short-cropped, light-colored hair and aren't 600 pounds (or 60), you look like Duke. Don't sweat it.

In no way do I look like a onscreen Imperial Officer. Not tall deadly skinny, missing the bad 70's haircut, and no accent. Yet no one seemed to be confused about it.

Just voicing my opinion. As to the imperial uniform, that is more open. Not like you've comic books and the like showing a specific person like you do with Duke and others. I think the costume is great, just look wise you fit better as Falcon in my opinion.
But, what do I know. All the characters I like I either can't do or don't look like so, dont' mind. Just giving input. You can't always get good remarks, do what you want to do. I just think that our first and originaly only Duke is better.

I not Spanish enough to be Law. Too fat for when I dress up as Dante from Devil May Cry. Not as old as Gendo Ikari from Evangelion and not Japanese like Manji From Blade of the Immortal...yet no one has ever mistaken me for another. Very few people are ever gonna be dead ringers for their characters. Body size/shape and costume detail are paramount in my book. A perfect facial match is not.

Exactly. Anyone already familiar enough with the show to know what the characters look like won't have any trouble identifying you. Some of people around the Hasbro booth at ComiCon had no trouble recognizing I was Duke.

I'm not saying your a bad Duke, I just think the first one was better. You've got the build and look for Falcon in my opinion.
But, is only my opinion. Sorry if I gave a negative comment. I'll go back to my continued search to find a character not being done that I think I can do.
