Rogue One: A Star Wars Story film costumes on display...

The more I watch Rogue One, the more I think it's the best Star Wars movie of the entire film franchise (even though there's not a Lightsaber in sight). I'd previously seen costumes from the prequel movie to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood when the movie was released, but it was nice to see these four hero outfits from the film out from behind their reflective display cases at the L.A. FIDM Museum's 25th Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibition on February 8, 2017.

David Crossman and Glyn Dillon were co-Costume Designers on the Gareth Edwards standalone film and responsible for evoking the film fashion of the classic Star Wars movies.

This exhibit featured four of the Rogue One heroes, but be sure to check out these other Rogue One movie costumes including 'Bodhi Rook', 'Director Orson Krennic' and Imperial Stormtrooper costumes.

With the current political climate and the resistance movement against the current administration in the U.S., I can't help but think that this 'Jyn Erso' movie costume is the perfect Cosplay and Halloween costume for scrappy, strong and resourceful women everywhere.

Fans of Felicity Jones can also check out her movie costumes from The Theory of Everything on display.

At the previous costume exhibit I wasn't able to get good reference shots for Donnie Yen's 'Chirrut Îmwe costume, so it nice to be able to get up close and see this costume for the blind warrior monk of the Temple of Kyber on Jedha from different angles.

This exhibit also gave us a closer look at the weapons sported by our heroes, including Chirrut Îmwe's close friend and fellow guardian, 'Baze Malbus', plus the back detail of most of their wardrobe.

I still think that this Rebel parka coat worn by Diego Luna as 'Captain Cassian Andor' best evokes classic Star Wars attire and reminds me of Han Solo's wintery planet Hoth wardrobe from 1980's The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars fans can also enjoy these film costumes from The Force Awakens on display at the FIDM Museum last year and at the El Capitan Theatre, ArcLight Hollywood cinema and Disney's D23 Expo.
