Those PhD/Scientist people tend to write in vague terms in the passive voice. So you need to do a lot of reading to get to the point. Compare that book with K&R's C book.

Voyager - the lame atrocity in the Star Trek family, or, as they put it in essentially every episode, "An Anomaly".
Captain Mommy and an assortment of other ludicrous characters are a dark spot on the series.

You must've missed everything that came after the "reboot" back in 2009.

There was a reboot, of sorts, with the original Star Trek - I watched it and it was quite good (almost all the episodes = about a dozen of 'em).
It was an all-new crew with a very heavy constraint of trying to really duplicate the entire atmosphere of the original series. They must have had some success as I stopped paying attention to the not-familiar faces and instead, to the story.
And, oh yes, those excellent uniforms for the female crew were brought back - I always wondered how the male crew members every got anything done (when on duty).

"Star Trek Continues" was so good that the lawyers stepped in and said they had to stop, they were better than the "Discovery" and showing it up to as the pile of carp it was.

Yup. That's the one.
Funny thing. Although they had amazing capabilities compared to what we have, their "tech" is actually sort of primitive looking. Seeing it all reproduced in detail really brought the point home.
At least from my point of view, although the latter shows (Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise) had better production, the original Star Trek is the one that stimulated the magnification about a wonderful future. After all, at least whilst watching, were transporters and phasers real ? That captured imagination allowed the existence of the others.

Have a fancy dress event with theme of JEDI... Inter galactic...
Have anyone tried or have a quick pointer on DIY Jedi look?
Don't have robe or want to cut/sew a costume. Something simpler.
What about hair style (Male)?

Rental?
There are loads of outfits in the UK hiring Star Wars costumes: jedi costume rental - Google Search[^] - you'll probably find the same in most Indian cities.

You're trying to avoid costume rental because of Covid, but you are going to a fancy dress party?
I think your priorities need adjusting ...

Okay, seems I missed sharing it's virtual. Not going anywhere.
No rental now when cases in India are still on the rise.

Go as a dark lord of the Sith. They have much cooler costumes (and weapons) than the "light" Jedi knights.

Just wave your hand in the air and say "I am dressed as a jedi" to anybody you meet.

The don;t worry about a costume, just use a background: Star Wars Backgrounds for Video Calls & Meetings | StarWars.com[^]
I know there is a X-Wing cockpit one out there as well as the Falcon interiors. Then all you need is a towel and a lightsaber for that "just out of the shower Jedi" look!
