It looks like a new exhibition opened in Tokyo today to commemorate Hot Toys' Join The Dark Side Line. As part of this exhibition, it looks like four original costumes are on display for: OWK Vader + Anakin, TROS Kylo and Palpatine. I found these photos on Twitter with the hashtag #シスサピ

Maybe we have any members on the forum that could go in person and snap some more pics?

The Anakin Outer Tunic is the AOTC style (brown raw silk) while the rest is the ROTS style. I'm not sure why they blended the two costumes, unless it was a mistake.

Aaaand even though I won't acknowledge the ST films as part of the Canon, the Palpatine and Crylo Ren costumes are pretty snazzy. The Palpatine especially with the red shirt.

Looks like it's a blend of the two indeed! Interesting, but not a first to have something wrong on exhibition costumes

Very true. Exhibit curators and even the production staff get it wrong sometimes. The OT fabric is totally different between films 2 and 3. I never saw the shows so I wasn't sure if they did some sort of hybrid of the two styles for either one.
 
I'll see if I can make another trip there before I head back to Los Angeles.

Are there any areas of particular interest on the costumes?

I don't know if the "Padawan" flashbacks used brown raw silk for Anakin's outer tunic but if they did couldn't it be likely that the exhibit mixed up the tunic Hayden wore for those scenes with the one he wore for the "temple raid" flashback scenes?
 
Thanks for sharing!! I’ve been obsessed with the MR graflex they used, this helps dial in the covertec alittle easier!

It's possible. I never watched either show, so I couldn't say with certainty.
