CLOTHING 
 

The Jedi in the movies wore robes. Jedi were not the only people that wore robes, people on hot planets wore robes, and the Senate wore robes also. Robes are common in their society, but not in ours. Think of something common to wear. The clothing should be loose, so you can do martial arts in them (not too loose, or it could get caught on something). For the feet, make sure you wear footwear that you can run and move easily in. 
 

 
TOOLS 
 

As you well know, a Jedi's best tool is their lightsaber. Lightsabers do not exist yet, so we need to find something that is just as useful. It has to be easy to carry, and easy to hide. Policemen use guns, but it is hard to get around with them (due to security). Guns are also to easy to use, if they fall in the wrong hands.

Swiss Army Knives are perfect. They have many functions and can fit in your pocket, or on your belt for quick use. Also there are many different kinds, so you can get proficient with yours. If it were to fall into the wrong hands, the person would have to figure out how to use it. Also it is considered more of a tool than a gun is, so it can get by security (Please make sure that you adhere to the laws in your country regarding the carrying of knives.)

Of course A lightsaber is much different then a Swiss army knife. Even though a Swiss army knife does very different functions, it still can have just as many uses as a lightsaber.

USES

Cut open a locked doorUnscrew or screw some screws

Deflect blaster firePliers/Tweezers for grabing

Used as a weaponKnife can be fliped out

Used for a DuelA prying tool

 

With the events that have occurred in the USA, we are unable to travel with such tools anymore. Do not worry, in the distant future we hope to be supported by the government (we will have our own lightsabers and transportation). 

For the time being, use whatever is around you in your situation. This combined with martial arts and the Force, should make you a cut above the rest.
 

Practice Sabers

Bokkens are a good practice weapon for the lightsaber techniques. They are 40 inches long (30" blade, 10" handle). They are made of hard wood so be careful training with them because you could really hurt someone, or even yourself.
