Design-wise, Luminara was interesting because the live-action costume is made up of many layers of draped cloth. And that would be, just a very difficult thing to pull off, because cloth is one of those very render-intensive things. So the designer Thang Le had to come up with a way to keep the feel of the Luminara outfit but make it much simpler: cut down the layers of cloth and figure out a way to keep the shape very simple and graphic, which he did by stripping down the top section to just a shawl, a headdress and a skirt with a tabard in front.
