Reference Information
A set of detailed notes researching the original costumes.
Original Trilogy
- The gloves have visible seams along the sides of the fingers. They appear to be made of leather or vinyl.
- The backs of the hands are covered in hair right up to the knuckles; only the fingers are exposed.
- There are several instances in A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back where Peter is clearly not wearing any gloves at all, and his human fingers are visible.
Revenge of the Sith
- All the Wookiees have sculpted and cast rubber hands with fingers nails and a rough, wrinkly surface texture. They have a grey skin tone with just a hint of brown.
- Some of the rubber skin on the backs and sides of the hands are not covered by hair.
Sequel Trilogy
- Chewie's hands appear to be black or dark brown/grey and made of rubber. They have some detail in the knuckles, as well as visible fingernails, but not as much detail as the ROTS hands.
