John Scalzi on Sci-Fi

 Six reasons it sucks to be a Jedi:

 "1. The Jedi uniform. The Jedi look like they dressed for their local Renaissance Faire in the dark. Thick robes, ill-fitting pants, tunics, clunky boots -- it's as if millions of fashion designers screamed out in terror and were suddenly silenced. And yes, I get that the Jedi are supposed to be a form of monastic order so they're not going to go in for flashy colors or sharply tailored suits. But, look. Sartorially speaking, if you're a representative of an order meant to help keep civilization from running off the rails and you meet with people who run entire planets to convince them not to do stupid things, maybe it'd be helpful not to dress like a stable boy all the time."
