I read an intersting blog regarding Obi-Wan's multitude of Jedi Robes and began to think about the uniform Anakin wears in Ep 2 and Ep 3.

While Anakin's outer robe was brown like everyone else's, his inner clothing, and his vest especially, was a dark brown, and was close to being black. Even his trousers were darker. Why is that? (I'd include a picture, but i can't get them on my PC. I'll do it at home.)

It seems to be that the Jedi Council would want Anakin to blend in with the rest of the Jedi and not be singled out, even if he was the "Chosen One." They should have made him wear the normal clothes of the Jedi. Anakin had enough of an ego that making him look different would not have helped. Did the Jedi Temple run out of light brown trousers? Couldn't they have ordered a new set from the local market?

Maybe Lucas wanted to foreshadow Anakin's future self as Darth Vader by giving him a darker wardrobe.
