Looking for some new hope in 2017, today I ventured to
Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre to watch
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for the second time and check out the original costumes from the movie they had on display there.

Glyn Dillon and
David Crossman were co-
Costume Designers responsible for recreating the distinctive look of the
Star Wars universe on the
Episode IV prequel directed by
Gareth Edwards. These costumes worn by our five
Rebel Alliance 'Rogue One' squad heroes were photographed on display at the
El Capitan Theatre where they'll be for cinema goers to see until February 5, 2017.
Warning: Spoilers ahead!

In the movie we learn that
Felicity Jones's 'Jyn Erso' is the daughter of scientist
'Galen Erso' (played by
Mads Mikkelson), who has been forced by
'Director Orson Krennic' to help construct the
Empire's Death Star planet-killing machine.
Jyn Erso costume worn by Felicity Jones in Rogue One
Sacrificing himself so his daughter could be free, she was raised until she was a teenager by extremist resistance fighter
'Saw Gerrera' and then abandoned to divert suspicion of who she was. Forced to survive on her own, she became a trained fighter, but was imprisoned as a criminal until she was freed be the
Rebel Alliance who wanted to use her connections to
Saw Gerrera and her father.
Jyn Erso joins the cause and is critical in leading the crucial mission to obtain the blueprints to the
Death Star.
The defiant loner's costume features a cotton drill jacket with printed trim detail, stretch cotton trousers with pin tuck and print detail, leather gloves, belt and holster and boots.
Captain Cassian Andor costume worn by Diego Luna in Rogue One
Diego Luna's 'Captain Cassian Andor' is a veteran spy of the
Rebellion and has been fighting the
Empire since he was six years old.
For me his
Rogue One costume most evokes classic
Star Wars, in particular
Han Solo's Hoth planet look from
The Empire Strikes Back.
His parka is made of dyed nylon with a faux fur hood trim, he wears cotton trousers, leather boots and holster, a canvas belt with cast
Rebel buckle, and suede gloves with greeblie details.
Bodhi Rook costume worn by Riz Ahmed in Rogue One
Riz Ahmed plays the former
Imperial pilot,
'Bodhi Rook', that
Jyn's father convinces to defect and get a message to the
Rebellion.
His costume features cotton drill jumpsuit overalls with molded
Imperial insignia, a nylon mesh and cotton utility vest, leather boots and clear polyurethane googles.
Baze Malbus costume worn by Jiang Wen in Rogue One
Jiang Wen plays
'Baze Malbus' who was a guardian of the
Temple of Kyber on the desert moon of
Jedha along with his best friend and moral compass
'Chirrut Îmwe', who become embroiled in
Jyn and
Cassian's mission against the
Imperial forces.
His overalls are a lightweight cotton, his armour made of polyurethane, boots leather and his gloves and neck seal made from repurposed
Stormtrooper parts.
Chirrut Îmwe costume worn by Donnie Yen in Rogue One
Donnie Yen's blind spiritual martial arts warrior monk
'Chirrut Îmwe' is a strong believer in the
Force, although he isn't a
Jedi.
I couldn't get the best photos of his costume because of the reflective glass and lighting, but his jacket is a dyed suede with sandwashed silk trousers and skirts of textured cotton. His boots are leather, as are his baldric and belt set, whilst his armoured pieces are made from polyurethane.
Hopefully all these costumes will be on display out of their reflective display cases in the future and I can get a better look at them, but stay tuned for a glimpse at
Ben Mendelsohn's Director Orson Krennick Imperial costume and other
Stormtrooper armours from the film that were also a part of the exhibit.
Plus fans can also check out all these other movie
costumes from Star Wars films on display.
