I Want To Dress Up As A Stormtrooper With My Friends And Go Stand On Random Street Corners Watching For

i want to dress up as a stormtrooper with my friends and go stand on random street corners watching for rebel scum and keeping each other in line

I’d be the one you have to yell at to stop dancing and be professional ^-^

as a cosplayer I am losing it over how much detail for props and armor and flight suit they’re showing it’s like they’re daring me, nay, setting out a guide for me to build a sabine cosplay

They have her lay out all her armor peices and do closeups of the helmet and props and I just. Im loving it so much. her eyeshadow and purple nail polish and she wears the flight suit and flack vest without the armor and and and

Thinking about how different individual mandalorians can be from eachother while still so clearly being mandalorian. I see this in fan made designs especially, mando cosplayers my beloved, it gives a great sense of camaraderie, but i see it in cannon media as well. For example, Paz Visla and Ursa Wren have massivly different armor designs, and yet they are both still so recognizable as mandalorian.

Ursa has a more curved visor shape, no beskar'ta, very few sharp angles to her armor, a loincloth but no kama, and generally lighter armor.

And then there's paz. most of his body is covered by his armor, and it is very bulky. his armor is mostly sharp angles, and he has a beskar'ta and standard t-shapeed visor. the only extra fabric besides his flightsuit and flack vest are things like his belt/belt pouches.

Both of them have a single peice for the top part of their chestplate, which is at odds with other mandalorians' three peice chestplates like boba fett has.

Not every mandalorian is human, not every mandalorian has a beskar'ta, not every mandalorian has a kama.

There are so many variables and yet you look at two mandalorians side by side and go, yep, there are two mandalorians in front of me, i should probably run.

It says a lot about them as a culture, to have such ways for each person to express themselves with their own beskar'gam.

Anyways i think it's cool i like the design freedom i get designing mando armor and i like wearing it to conventions and having armor that is both unique and fits into this group

Currently coping with the lack of mando’a in Star Wars shows by shouting it at the screen at appropriate moments.

di’kut. Mir’sheb. Gar shabla di’kute gev! Ni nu copaani gar kyrayc, a val ven kyr’amu

apologies for my probably atrocious grammar I’m still pretty new to this

THE SMITHS!!!

up way too early bc the fire alarm went off (everything is fine but I’m awake) so here’s my latest addition to my wip yarndalorian helmet

It’s a little terrifying but also adorable. Also I sewed down the helmet ridge and the back is looking genuinely awesome
