Star Wars & Islamic Fashion

[akulion]

Well now ofcourse a lot of people will disagree with me here.
But when watching Star Wars I couldnt help but feel that a lot of the fashion used in it was very close to Islamic Fashion....

For example take this picture of Queen Amidala wearing a Hijab

And yet in another image if we ignore the weird makeup we will see she is wearing a full abaya with hijab kinda

and then ofcourse leaving aside the huge weird head thingie in this pic - dosent the robe look so elegant and nice and is islamically acceptable too!

Ofcourse it seems to be "trailing off" on the follow but with minor adjustments that could easily be fixed I think

Needless to say the makeup is absolutely horrendous!!!!

It would be a good incentive for Muslim designers to use as a inspiration source for bettering Islamic fashion for women...

What do you think? Im nuts or is there some truth to my article?

 

[akulion]

Oh yes I forgot to add the most convincing picture yet!!!

Queen Amidila in FULL hijab

also

Even the men fashions are very nice check out these cool robes for men - totally islamic

and note the hand maidens of Queen Amidila wearing hijab and properly covered!

And some other cool images of Queen Amidilla in Islamic Garb

and

And this is the most awesome yet...check out the sisters dresses in the back! They are so cool

LOL!

Good point! I think the pictures might be removed, and in case they are - just go and watch Star Wars Episode 1 and keep an eye on the Queen's outfits.

On a related note, Obi-Wan's master is called Qui-Gon Jinn. As we know, Jinn are 'ghost-like' entities made from smokeless fire. Further on in the Star Wars story, Qui-Gon becomes a ghostly presence. Interesting

 

[akulion]

yea star wars has some pretty cool things...

if the pictures are removed no biggie - and apologies if they are against board regulations....

1 thing I particulatrly like in Star wars is the saying:

"Since we cant find a solution then we should wait until a solution presents itself"

Its a cool saying teaching Sabr and accepting Qadr

And: 'Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.'

Materialism = bad if you want to be a kickass Jedi.

[MOUSE]Lol![/MOUSE] You do got a point here akhee.. There is some resemblence or whatever it's called!

Well, in Aladdin, the ghost thing in the lamp is called Genie, and it kinda sounds a little like a Jinn! Or something like that!?

 

[akulion]

The concept of Jinn was probably most copied by the movie WISH MASTER in which basically a Jinn is released and goes on loose in the human world making people "wish" and with each wish the result would be something terrible because the Jinn wsa evil...

Yep. In fact the English word 'Genie' derives from 'jinn'. Jinns are pretty prominent in Middle Eastern mythology. I think in the Hundred and One Nights, there was a story about a wish-granting Jinn, and this story, or ones like it, must have carried over to the West.

But back to Star Wars and Islamic fashion, here is how NOT to dress:

I mean come on, Jabba. Putting your fat gut on display isn't making it any smaller.

 

[akulion]

loool bro thats funny

he isnt even dressed - hes naked!!

also one thing I hate about western movies is all these "harem " thingies they show - as if thats what Muslims are about! RIDICLOUS STUFF!

 

[Muezzin]

But he's also a big fat blob, so it's funny on a puerile level.

I know what you mean. I thought harems are haram

 

[akulion]

You might find this ridiclous but last year I met an american girl in chat and we were talking about the world...she was old enough 27 so I assumed she must be smart.

But what she asked me next was ust unbelieveable! Her question:

"I saw on tv you guys live in caves is it true?"

looool

So its just part of the media with Harems - trying to down play Islam and Muslims in a seemingly "innocent" way

Another Star Wars line: 'You assume too much.'

But what she asked me next was ust unbelieveable! Her question:

"I saw on tv you guys live in caves is it true?"

Oh boy...

The media is messed up. How the heck is showing Harems portraying us in an 'innocent' way? We look like pimps!

 

[akulion]

lool we look like pimps!!

so true man!

But its terrible what people often think!

The media is very irresponsible too - like me and my cousins and friends were discussing just yesterday on a Valima celebration how they ALWAYS show the WORST areas of Pakistan on the news - they never show any of the good regions.

It just portrays as if Pakistan is full of bad things...it sucks when they do this!

 

[Muezzin]

That's true, but not all the media is messed up. You do have a couple of really intelligent non-Muslims who are clued up, such as George Lucas with Star Wars, which blends all the goodness of almost every religion.

Apart from celibacy, which is just wrong. No wonder the Jedi went down. They needed to feel the love

walikum salam

The jedi are a lot like the Muslims - they are justice loving - fair in judgement - reflective on situations - brave - cool - smart

but as u mentioned the celebicy bit sucks!

And beardy!

'If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine'

Cos that will trigger the bomb strapped to my stomach.

but as u mentioned the celebicy bit sucks!

Heck yes it sucks! Ladies are lining up to marry Yoda!

 

[akulion]

do you think bro saudis is really a jedi ?

 

[azim]

Salaam.

You can get those over-thobes that look so jedi!

That's pretty cool. There's also a lot of Hebrew embedded into the movie's characters. (Kenobi = "Like a prophet", for ex.)

 

[akulion]

Yea star wars is an awesome movie

for all ages for all people
