The same materials found on the screen-used version will look best," Plunkett says. "Some kind of velvet seems to have been used here, along with a more rigid metallic fabric for the shoulders. As with any of the characters we interpreted into The Clone Wars style, we pared down the amount of detail on things like boots and holsters, as well as the engraved hair clip." When the series leaped ahead in time for Season 3, so did the design of the characters. Ahsoka's look was more mature, reflecting the fact that she was older, taller, and maybe even a little bit wiser. "The Ahsoka Season 3 outfit looks like it would be a challenge," Plunkett says. There is a fair amount of detail, even in her animated design. A live-action version could include finer detailing in the leather tooling of her belt, boots, gloves, and tabard."

In addition to phase one and phase two Captain Rex, Schram's making additional costumes. She's working on a clone officer ensemble she hopes to get approved by the 501st Legion and a Chewbacca costume for the Rebel Legion. She's also putting together an unofficial Willrow Hood costume. Emily Schram can't pinpoint the first time she saw Star Wars, but she recalls being impressed by the cantina scene in A New Hope. She tells StarWars.com, "I remember being fascinated by all the aliens and the music and the immediate immersion of the scene." Though she admits she got Star Wars and Spaceballs mixed up when she was a kid, she definitely has them straight now and shows her Star Wars fandom through participating in costuming organizations. His Season 4-7 armor is a Season 4-7 Grunt base armor kit with a pauldron, kama, and animated holsters. Please visit the 501st Legion CRL to see the Captain Rex specifications. We recently got our first look at how the Walt Disney Imagineers have brought Hondo Ohnaka to life for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. "They did a great job translating him into real life," Plunkett says. Schram set a goal to finish her Rex costume before Star Wars Celebration Orlando, but she procrastinated long enough that she was forced to work outdoors in Maryland in February, which as you can imagine, was cold. That didn't deter her from finishing the project. Schram admits, "I spent many hours outside in the snow trimming, sanding, and gluing."Cosplay Command Center is a special three-part series connecting cosplayers attending Star Wars Celebration Chicago to resources and expert insights to complete their costumes from Star Wars animation. Padmé wore no less than 22 different outfits over the course of the show, sometimes channeling her live-action counterpart. For example, in Season 3, animators recreated her costume from the end of The Phantom Menace, as she stormed Theed Palace. "There's a lot reference for this costume, we really just simplified it for The Clone Wars version," Plunkett notes.

When Ahsoka first became Anakin’s Padawan, she was brash and excitable and misjudged many dangerous situations. Despite having the rank of Commander, Ahsoka was inexperienced and didn’t always understand the bleakness of the war she was being pulled into. This cost the Jedi and the Republic resources and machinery, but more importantly, numerous clones also lost their lives under her command. What eventually made Ahsoka so beloved among the clones is that she learned from her mistakes. She came to see the clones as more than disposable soldiers – to her, they were her friends as well as comrades, and she went to extraordinary lengths to keep them safe. Ever the proud warrior of Mandalore, cosplaying as Satine's sister Bo-Katan means crafting traditional Mandalorian armor. "In many regards, it hews closely to the classic look sported by the Fetts, apart from the 'Night Owl' visor shape," Plunkett says. Completing the look can be as simple as copying the animated details on both the armor and Obi-Wan's gear, including his belt, boots, and lightsaber, "or swapping them out for the higher-fidelity live-action version," Plunkett says. "In either case, a small extra comlink device has been added to his left forearm. In a realistic interpretation, this could be based on the comlink we see Qui-Gon use while he's in Mos Espa in The Phantom Menace." If you've also always wanted to be a Weequay marauder, Plunkett has just one recommendation: "Hondo is a pirate. He gets himself and his crew into enough trouble that none of his clothes are going to be pristine." This gown is very ceremonial, very regal," Plunkett says. "It's designed to make a statement and involves multiple layers of printed or woven silk-like fabric."There's also the corset-like belt with inlaid copper piping. Plunkett recommends either leather or another silk-like cloth for that piece. "Both would be effective."
