Jaina Solo

Star Wars Expanded Universe

This costume is a work in progress. It's mostly done, but I ran out of time for adding bands on the tunic and accessories on the belt. My friend Jeff machined a very cool Jaina lightsaber for me - closeup pictures of it coming soon!

Jaina Solo is the oldest child of Leia and Han in the Extended Universe of the novels, comics, ect. In my opinion, the coverart for the Japanese editions of the novels is far better than what we usually get here in the US. That, together with the fact that there just aren't that many pictures of the character, lead me to pick her green outfit, seen on the covers of both Reunion and Refugee. (Though I admit it was hard to choose between this outfit and the black bodysuit on Destiny's Way...)

Pattern for top: McCalls 4304, altered
