looking at you, Yoda! who needs silk in a swamp, I ask you?)

"need silk to go to all them happening dagobah parties, I do! When you go to party look so good you do not!" - from the upcoming movie "Disco dagobah"

Sorry - my silly carried me away. ;P

I think the development of Peasant Chic is a good theory. It mus be a little odd though - because on outer rim worlds a jedi would, at least in theory, blend in rather well. But in on the core worlds the Jedi with their peasant chic would instead stand apart from local fashion. maybe that was the point?

Also I didn't know the Amidala hair-connection to The Last Emperor - that is rather cool.
