Costume Standards
These standards outline the requirements for approvable costumes for the Saber Guild. You must have at least one approved costume to be an active member of the club.
The Generic Standard may be used to craft your own custom Generic Jedi or Sith character but it is also the foundation for all the other standards.
When specific standards do not explicitly override the Generic Standard, those rules and guidelines will still apply.
