Luke Skywalker Costume
This in-depth video covers exactly where to buy different costume items, and approximately how much they'll cost. It also discusses some alternatives for modifying your footwear should new boots be too expensive.
Step 1: White or Tan Top and Pants
Start off by finding a loose fitting top and tight pants. Your best bet may actually be a white outfit from Karate class. However, be aware that many Karate outfits don't have pockets. If you don't know anyone with an outfit you can borrow, be creative! A shawl wrapped in just the right way could also work.
Step 2: Boots
The desert-style boots are very important for this outfit. However, they can also get expensive. One option is to wear regular shoes and wrap them in tan tape or gauze. This way, you can extend the height of the "boot" right up your leg by continuing to wrap the tape up your shins. You may not get it right the first time, but a bit of experimenting usually pays off.
Step 3: Accessories
Now since you have the basic outfit, you can focus on the details. Obviously, the first thing you will need is a lightsaber. If you weren't able to get your boots or clothing quite as perfect as you wanted, a large premium lightsaber can often make up for it. However, you'll also need a brown belt and a toy gun holster or knife holster. Leather pouches or fanny packs complete the look.
