thinking about the intersection between Star Wars mandalorian culture and mandalorian cosplayers again.

for many of us our helmets are as much our face as the one we were born with in some ways. Our cosplayer friends become found family and when we think of one another our helmet/s or armor comes to mind as quickly or faster than our faces.

Our mannerisms and the way we speak are influenced by the beskar’gam that we wear.

many who pass are remembered by the community with “Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum” (I am alive, but you are dead. I remember you, and so you are eternal.) or simply “ni kar’taylir gar darasuum.” (I will know you forever)

within the mandalorian mercs costume club specifically there is a tradition known as the death march. A solemn march to honor members who have passed on, done in silent reverence often to the cadence of a traditional mandalorian drum. Helmets are kept on during the march.

For some Mandalorian cosplayers while they are in kit, only show their faces to friends and trusted individuals.

It’s interesting to see the similarities that come through, and both very purposeful and the ones that happen naturally

also if you have ever gotten to be part of a large group of mandos all cheering “OYA” at the same time, you know how powerful it feels.

My dad and I went to a local Comic-Con!

There were lots of fun things to see: art, souvenirs, cosplayers…

And 2 Star Wars costume clubs: the 501st Legion and the Mandalorian Mercs were there too!

This was my first comic con, and I loved it!

Throwback to the beginnings of my costuming journey. Though this armor has since been retired, mainly due to my unfortunate physical growth, I think back on these times fondly. I like to think the time and care I put into my first build shows, but I may be a touch biased.

The completion of this armor lead to a great many things in my life. Some of the most fun I've ever had, some of the best friends I've ever made, and some of the coolest opportunities I never thought I'd have.

In 2016 I was invited to attend a convention in Salt Lake where I met the man himself, big boss Boba Fett, Jeremy Bulloch. While it was a brief (but incredibly cool) opportunity, he wasn't the only hero I got to meet that weekend. While attending a panel for Mark Hamill, I also got a high five from Jason David Frank (RIP). Another man I've loved and respected for as long as I can possibly remember.

While manning the Star Wars Costuming Clubs booth that same year, along with a new friend, we were blown away by a random surprise visit by Michael Rooker. Though I regret missing this opportunity to get a picture, the conversation we had without a massive group of people interrupting him, is all the memory of the event I need. What a genuinely cool guy.

Over the years my armor evolved and grew with me, but continued to open doors I never thought possible. Growing up in the middle of nowhere, no real money to my name, and no opportunities to truly geek out with the people left in my hometown, I never thought that Comic Cons and costume groups would be part of my life. I had followed what the 501st Legion was doing since I was a kid, and was truly blown away when I saw them on tv marching in the Rose Bowl Parade in 2007. Still, I never thought anything like that would exist in Montana. At that point, the Mandalorian Mercs were just starting, so I hadn't even heard of them yet.

By the time I started college, I was made aware of the existence of the MMCC. Sitting in my dorm dreaming that I'd have the money, time, space, skills, etc, to start a build of my own some day. Then one day in 2015, I saw this helmet for sale from Headshot Props, and I knew it was time. I had to make this purchase. I checked my accounts, moved some stuff around, skipped getting groceries for a few weeks, and 2 months later, there it was in all of its glory. Sitting at my doorstep when I got off work, I don't think I had ever been that excited. I took it inside, ripped open the box, knocked off just enough of the sharp edges to put it on without cutting myself, and low and behold... it didn't fit.

Motivation: demolished. Faith: gone.

I was, frustrated, to say the least. I'm the type of person to take setbacks like this extremely personally because of how often it seems like it happens to me. I set it on the shelf and looked at it for a few days. I knew there was nothing I could do about a return because the dimensions were posted, and I measured my head. It should have fit. I didn't take into account the cheeks of the helmet being a tighter spot, and my bigass fivehead just wasn't gonna do it without breaking the helmet. I had to do something though. I sanded the hell out of the inside of the cheeks to the point that you could see light through them, and I could get the helmet on, though it wasn't a pleasant experience. I then took my heat gun, thinking there's no way this will work, heated the resin just enough to push the cheeks out that little bit extra, and I'll be damned. It was just enough. The helmet was still tight, but it fit, and it was back to game on.

The course of the next few months brought on a ton of changes. I was lucky enough to be working at a sign shop at the time I began this journey, and that shop had a seemingly endless supply of foamed PVC board and a flatbed CNC machine. I was able to trace out my armor design and just have it cut right there! Barely even had to trim and sand anything! It was amazing! I started learning skills I never even knew I wanted. Using a heat gun to form shapes, learning to paint, kit bashing parts to make in-universe looking props, it just never seemed to end! Halfway through my build, I moved, but I didn't let that move ruin my motivation. In that tote was a pile of loose parts and a helmet. Within a month of moving into my new place, it was wearable. Rough, but wearable. Around Halloween that year, I had met up with some local guys that were also building armor, and we handed out candy at the Zoo! It was amazing, and I had so much fun. Met some of my future best friends that day.

Over the years of doing local events, I've been humbled on a few occasions. Mostly from people who joined the group later on that have told me their journey started when they saw me at one event or the other. That's such an incredible feeling and honestly makes all the time, effort, money, stress, blood, and love I've put into this build worth it.

If you've stuck with this post this far, I applaud you. You can probably tell I'm not much of a writer and I'm all over the place with no real conclusion to any of it. I'm really just reminiscing. This weekend I will be parting out this original kit, or at least most of it, in order to help new costumers, new friends, get a foothold in their build, and hopefully motivate them to continue.

If you've ever wanted to build a costume, regardless of what fandom it's for, don't let anyone tell you not to do it. Buy it, build it; piece by piece or all it once, it doesn't matter. Just do it. Solid chance you'll never regret it.

So I don't usually make a lot of personal posts but this came up recently and I thought it should Be Known.

Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club does not support BLM.

From the past few days a friend of mine and I have been trying to post anywhere and everywhere to let people know what they've done, but to no avail. I now turn here with my tale.

It starts with a letter. One that Mandalore the Uniter sent out after the protests started.

Now that sounds all well and good.. but where does it say anything about what's been going on recently? Where does it call to attention that we need to focus on what NEEDS to be focused on and back up our poc brethren in this crisis? It's not there. Definitely not like how LucasFilm put it after John Boyega came out strong for the London protests:

See the difference? I did. So did a friend of mine @mandalorerose She called attention to their message on their fb page, calling them out on NOT drawing attention to the obvious problem of not calling out any white supremasists lurking within the group, but instead creating a safe space for them.

You can't see her post now. Because they hid it. They same way they hid a WHOOOLE lot of other people's posts.

The same way they hid mine. In less than ten minutes.

LUCKILY, I drafted an ongoing Twitter post to track my progress with this nonsense of the Uniter. I admit it's not my best work but it gets the point across.

After my comments got hidden I took my friend's lead and posted where I could.

They now blocked me on Twitter after my post.

I've done what I can to speak out against this, again, sad excuse of a call of unity. This is not a Uniter. This is the same thing that the government has ALWAYS done: merely dip their toe in the water of the issue to make themselves look good but NEVER dig out the rot of racism that's within.

If anyone is out there, with Disney or Lucasfilm as they're affiliated with those companies, please hear me. These are systemic issues. They must be dealt with.

So a week ago I was praising the costuming team for handling Boba’s armor so well and I definitely still stand by that but after like a decade of browsing the Mandalorian Mercs board with every intention of making my own custom beskar and maybe even joining them I gotta laugh at how little regard for keeping his armor pieces straight Lucasfilm had the last two episodes. Like yes in the first of the two the shots where his armor is askew or pulling away from the flak vest are during his fight scene but like

idk there’s just something kinda comedic about how the costuming club that would ding an application from a new member for this kinda sloppiness because they HAVE to be anal about things since they do charity work and work with Lucasfilm on certain events whereas Lucasfilm can be like “okay is it physically present on the costume? We good”
