I think that the guys designing the shadow looks got the era wrong. Jedis on the empire era, had a low profile, nothing luxurious, no bright colours or anything that would stand out: rags and old cloaks. But in the Old republic Era (at least from the vision of the comic books http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_(comics)) there could be wealthy and rich Jedi. I know they are monks and luxury and possetion is something they don´t look for, but it was certanly a different era the old republic. (sorry for bad english)
