SUBMITTING A COSTUME FOR FULL MEMBERSHIP APPROVAL

An outline of our membership requirements can be found in the Rebel Legion Charter.

Please fill out our membership form here.

1) Applicants must be 18 years or older.

2) Any costume for submission must be owned by the applicant and should not be rented, borrowed or a shared costume.

3) The first costume submission must be what is considered a "Formal", professional quality Star Wars costume that qualifies as a Rebel, Hero, Creature, Rebel supporter, or good guy character. Costumes must be complete, containing all the parts in good working order and appearance. All costume submissions must meet the Costume Standards listed in the Costume Standards Master List, on The Rebel Legion web site.

Formal is defined as a costume from one of the six Star Wars films, Expanded Universe, or Lucasfilm Licensed Media (TV, books, games, etc.) as it would appear in those materials.

Quality:

1. A costume must not look or be store bought (i.e. a Halloween costume), it must be professional quality.
   
2. A costume cannot simply be a collection of found clothing (i.e. a bathrobe and a karate uniform does not qualify as a Jedi costume). If 50% or more of the costume is made of unaltered pre-existing clothing it is not acceptable.
   
3. The costume should look professional and be clean and in good condition (with weathering/wear only where appropriate).

4) The applicant must submit one or more photos of their costume. Photo Standards for application submission:

1. Applicant’s photo submission must be clear and adequately lit in front of a neutral background which is a different color than most of the costume.
   
2. At least one photo must show the entire costume from head to toe. If the costume has important details on the sides or back, include photos of those views.
   
3. The applicant should not be obscured by anyone or anything.
   
4. An applicant’s member gallery photo can be an action/iconic character's pose. In this case, it is important that the applicant provide additional photos with their application that show all parts of the costume with nothing obscured. At least one photo should not have arms and/or weapon covering the belt/midsection of the costume.
   
5. Any applicant who wears a mask or heavy make-up should include another photo of themselves in costume but with face visible.
   
6. Pictures will be considered unacceptable if the applicant is wearing or holding anything not appropriate for the costume, including but not limited to sunglasses, convention badges, drinks, etc. Medical and assistance devices are exempt.
   
7. All photos submitted for membership must not be altered (except for "red-eye" removal) in subject, background, or light saber/blaster effects. If the picture/costume is accepted, the Legion membership team will alter it for member gallery.
