Here's an article of clothing that fits well in a Rebel ground-based deck, such as the popularly known "mains and toys" strategy which relies on [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] with their lightsabers. For 2 Force, [[Luke Skywalker{{!}}Luke]] can wear the cape of his mentor, and he's immune to attrition <5. [[Obi-Wan's Cape]] is an Effect that can be tailored to fit any Rebel or alien. It works especially well at protecting a character at a site along with [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Obi-Wan]], as long as the Dark Side battle destiny draw is less than 5.

The real beauty of [[Obi-Wan's Cape]] is the second power that it bestows: it allows the wearer "when present at the start of a battle," to "use 1 Force to cause one opponent's character of ability = 1 (your choice) to move away (for free), or that character is immediately lost." Players sometimes forget that [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Obi-Wan]] has this power, and that his Cape can make it happen twice in the same battle. Scare off the powerful [[Kitik Keed'kak]], [[Wuher]], or other pesky aliens, and leave them stranded at an adjacent site for disposal on your next turn. [[Obi-Wan Kenobi{{!}}Obi-Wan]] and another character wearing [[Obi-Wan's Cape]] can take on any Dark Side trooper deck and cut them down to size. Move a couple of troopers or other characters away, and the Dark Side may not even have enough ability left for a destiny draw. If targeting an [[Imperial Trooper Guard]], its a classic case of the immovable object versus the irresistable force, and the trooper is lost!

Combos:

[[Obi-Wan's Cape]] + [[Tatooine Utility Belt]] + [[Luke Skywalker{{!}}Luke]] Skywalke = on his home planet, he's a dead ringer for the old man; power 5, ability 4, forfeit 9 and immune to attrition <5. Clothes do make the man.
