"but why can't people just dress up as the vader before the black mask because they like it? i mean, do they have to be approved or something?"
People can wear whatever they want anywhere. To be a member of the 501st you need to be: -over 18 -have a movie cannon quality costume -have a "bad guy" costume
The group is debating endlessley whether Anakin in regular Jedi clothes (versus the Vader suit) is a "bad guy". In the new movie the Emperor calls him vader in the Jedi suit, he does bad stuff int he Jedi suit . . . I'd call that a bad guy. Others in the group are debating it for various reasons.
Why is the group so strict? We get to do cool-kids things like escort celebrities, get free trips to Vegas and stuff like that because we work with Lucas Films for various events. Hence, a high quality standard. I agree that there has to be rules/standards. I think this is taking it a bit too far though . . .
