~~~~ Yeah, but the badguys get the best costumes (check out Darth Maul 
from Episode 1 ! on the official site! http://www.starwars.com

Which if any groop members didn't know, his facial make up is based on 
Japanese Kabuki masks.  Very much like an Oni (remember we discussed oni 
vs. obi, before? Oni is a demon, obi is a belt)  Actually quite a bit of 
Star Wars is based in samurai lore.  This continues Lucas' tendancy 
towards Japanese costuming... just look at Vader's helmet, very much 
like a samurai Kabuto.  And Obi-wan and Yoda's robes are very much like 
martial arts' gi.   See? You learn something new every day.  Sergio 
incorporates a lot of Japanese dress into Groo, too.  A lot of the armor 
etc. is a hodgepodge of different cultures.  I noticed he likes to use 
kabuto helmets.
