Tonight's Hyperspace chat with costume designer Trisha Biggar gave us some great info about the direction she's taking Episode III. Here's a few highlights:

? The challenges with Padm?'s costume designs were to create outfits that allowed her to be a senator and still hide the fact that she is pregnant.

? The alien race played by Bruce Spence are tall and thin. The costumes are designed to exaggerate those traits.

? Mon Mothma's costume will have some similarities to her ROTJ outfit and she will be recognizable.

? The Mon Calamari character's costume is completely different than the one seen ROTJ and Trisha says "It looks great".

? Chewbacca will not be wearing clothes, not that he ever did.

? Trisha has worked on the Vader costume and will be doing a costume fitting immediately after this webchat!

? After principal photography has finished, all the costumes will be saved for potential use during pick-ups next year.
