It's listed in the first post, it's just 1/2" schedule 40 PVC pipe, and a few elbow and "T" connectors.

Re: My Lifesize Jawa Build - 1st Attempt
If you check out the first few posts, you'll see a basic structure out of PVC which you can build yourself relatively cheap. The pipe can be purchased from any home improvement store (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc). After I built this I found a great option for the head, Hobby Lobby has some small Styrofoam heads for a decent price, they're a good starting point. The LEDs for the eyes can be bought from Radio Shack, get the ones that are pre-wired with resistors and you can run them both off one 9V battery. You can also get a toggle switch there. As for the robe, this one on mine was a quick scratch build, just go to a fabric store. Otherwise you can check eBay or a few others sites, but you'll probably pay much more than if you were to do it yourself.

Do you have the measurements you got on the fabric? I just need to know how much I need

Actually, I did something very similar with the PVC pipe frame for my Yoda. I used a 90 degree bend for the right arm and a 45 for the left.

I don't, sorry, I just know I used about 2 yards. I pretty much just eye'd it after loosely draping the fabric over the frame. It will all depend on how big you make your frame.
