Atrocious fashion week?  Well, I'd be remiss if I neglected this page from X-Wing: Rogue Squadron #28.




Wedge.  Darling.  I love you, but those are the ugliest pants I have ever seen.  Take them off.

He and ugly, ugly clothing are not strangers.  I don't have the following comics that I'm taking panels from, but I found them on Wookieepedia.



That's from Handbook 2: Crimson Empire.  I'd look pissed too, if I had a uniform like that.




A panel from Dark Empire - yeah, Wedge is the one in the stupid hat.  Whoever wrote up the description for this image suggests that he lost a bet.



Here he is in "My Brother, My Enemy", drawn by someone who has no idea what he looks like or that his civvie clothes don't generally include a vest.



And that's from the last issue of Marvel Star Wars.  That's what people were going to wear in space in the 1980s.

Yes, Wedge. Take them off.

The hat's not stupid! The hat's adorable! I'll bet it gets him all the ladiezzz.

Also, I want that fish tank. Forget FTL travel, lightsabers, swoop bikes, and the like, this is what we need to invent from Star Wars.

It's a horrible combination of deerstalker and baseball caps, with ridge things on the top. Urgh.

Ackbar's antigravity fishbowl is awesome.

[ar_feiniel]

That fishbowl is fantastic. We must invent the technology to make that real.

A man walks down the street in a hat like that, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Bah! It's Star Wars. Only the Sith are allowed to wear cool clothes. Everyone else gets capes (NOT COOL BLACK CAPES! But PURPLE! YELLOW! LIME GREEN Capes!) and vests.

And what happens to good guys if they try to dress cool in the SW universe?



Palpy fries your ass! Happened to Luke. Happened to Mace Windu. And if the power of being Awesome(Tm)/Aka Being Samuel Jackson cannot protect you, then nothing will!

[joysweeper]

Eh, Palpy dying seems to have lifted the restriction. Still, there's no one to keep them from wearing uncool clothes.

[fairprincess]

Wow Wedge. No one can say you aren't brave. Wow.

[joysweeper]

Okay, icon love. <3

He wears horrible outfits in the books, too, but those aren't illustrated. And in the books, at least he knows they're horrible.

[sistermagpie]

Oh my. What are those pants made of?

[joysweeper]

Human skin? Latex?

I can't tell if those triangle shapes are indents or lines in the fabric. Either way, they're ugly.

[fairprincess]

Maybe Wedge shops at the same place Robin buys his scaly underoos.

[morgana006]

I assumed he was shopping at the same store that the Shocker does.

[neuhallidae]

Holy crap, those pants. I totally missed the rest of the post because I kept scrolling back up to D:.

[joysweeper]

Hideous and tight. Terrible pants. Terrible.

[timgueugen]

The outfit in the first panels looks like it could be something from the original Battlestar Galactica.

[lamashtar]

It's not just the comics! This sort of fashion is all over the gamebooks. :(

[wllw]

I... I was reading that two days ago. How the hell did I manage not to notice those pants? Am I going selectively blind? Or did I just repress the memories?

[joysweeper]

You repressed them, I'm sure. Those are the ugliest pants I have ever seen. Ever.

[ar_feiniel]

Heh, Wedge must have lost a bet.
