I didn't get it out yesterday, sorry, but the initial approval contact was made this morning, with the LMO team.  Assuming we get the green light, formal CRL building will start, on the back end.

Congrats @whitmers  This is a high profile costume, a complicated costume.  And it looks gorgeous.  

Thanks for all the hard work that went into this and all involved. It's been interesting to be part of the process. I learned about things and get to have a Shiney new costume to use this weekend to meet the man himself!

Thanks! It's getting a lot more notice than I expected. It's a hell of a costume!

The Legion has started promoting it.  Champagne all around!  (blue milk, whatever floats your boat!)

AAAH IT'S UP!

Whitmers updated his pants and added L2 zippers to his boots, so updated photos have been added to the OP and supplied to the LMOs.
 
Things are looking good for this CRL.

This CRL has been submitted to the LMOs for approval.

I updated the Dark Saber text in the OP to the following: (also tweaked the photo to correct some lighting discrepancies between the two views)
 

 
The Dark Saber should be a scratch made, or high end replica, in the Mandalorian style (oval), not the Clone Wars style (rectangular) Dark saber body should be approximately 11” long and based in a gloss black finish The cross section shall be oval in shape There are 4 vents on each side near the emitter There are 8 raised rings at the bottom Should have 2 raised rectangles on the hilt similar in pattern to the cummerbund Emitter should have an angle and should have an up-swept guard towards emitter
  Level 2: The Dark Saber should be capable of being belt worn with the emitter facing upwards (detachable blade or no blade) Should be a 1:1 scale of the Saber used in the show
  Level 3: The Dark Saber raised detail on the hilt is rubberized  
 

I agree the Dark Saber line needs tweaking.  That wasn't my edit, but confess I didn't double-check it at the time.  I'll talk to the guilty party and clean that up.
 
Here's the money shot for the leather inner thigh reinforcement patches:
 

 
You can see pretty clearly that it comes up to a [slightly rounded] point, and only about 1/2-3/4 up the thigh, not all the way to the crotch.

I'm on it.

I'm on it.

@whitmers This work needs to proceed regardless.  @kman will work with @Hoda and @shadan to get the text of the CRL right.  They should have access to the document you provided them.  Make sure that decisions are kept here and in the open so people can review them.  We need to fish or cut bait with getting this text finished.  I'll do what I can to assist with it.

@buckrogersbarker PM sent.

OK. I've been following and I appreciate the update. Hopefully the updated google doc that I send to Kman helped. I tried to clean it up a bit.
