Republic Fashion and Culture

[Dapper Dog]

Republic is all about freedom of choice and the mixing ad clashing of cultures. Food, music, and fashion are all about fusion; that is what is all the rave in the Republic. The guttural chants of the wookiee mixed with the high tempo songs of the twileks is the kind of thing that one would find in the Republic.

With the war raging escapism is huge and entertainment reflects that with a resurgence in cantina pop, musicals, and entertainment shows that hearken back to better times or focus on stories away from the war. One of the more popular shows is Vera Hawke: Jedi Knight, a rather outlandish show of a Jedi who does things her way a loose cannon with a heart of gold. Most Jedi find it as trash, but people love the show and the main actress is very easy on the eyes. Often referred to on the Holonet is the Vera Hawke: Cleavage Knight. The show is on it’s third season and has a loyal following.

Another popular show is called the Kessel Run, following a ragtag band of smugglers and criminals just trying to make it on the fringe. This show has all the sex and intrigue one could want and although in it’s first season is huge with the young folks as a hip and edgy show. Mr. Boobu’s Variety Show is a mainstay and has had a resurgence after the show retooled itself as more of a skit variety show that lampoons the government.

Music wise cantina pop is back on the scene, due to the influx of refugees from the Outer Rim, but all the young kids are into psych-hop, music that drones on and is less vocals and more smooth beats. For people that want an edge, Wook-Rock is where it is at, it’s all roars and shouts and thunderous drums.

Fashion wise, it is a mix of styles from across the galaxy though the edgy hip are into reverse whip, which is a style where clothes are cut up and then stitched back together with other pieces to create shirts of blue and red with one side long and another side short. It’s a mishmash motley of styles all in one.
