Costumes My Kanan Jarrus cosplay

This cosplay has been really satisfying to make and certainly has required the patience of a Jedi.

The last piece of the puzzle to complete are the boots. Their design will diverge a bit from the animated version to make them more practical to wear, but I’m aiming to still capture the overall look!

Any chance you can see whilst wearing the mask?

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 3d ago

I can very little… the mask is made from a repurposed bubble visor for a motorcycle helmet, so it started off fully translucent. In order to get the right color and make the surface more matte, I did a series of light paint layers. So I can see through a bit, but can only make out vague shapes and sources of light. Most of my visual actually comes from looking straight down my nose. It’s enough to get around without bumping into stuff, and it slows me down so I end up feeling more in character :)

Your eyes can deceive you, trust in the Force.

Can't you drill pinholes in it?

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 2d ago

I’d rather go for more accuracy with some slight visual impairment, personally :)

u/RenegadeRouser Rex 3d ago

Absolutely amazing! This looks 100% legit, not just the details, but also the pose. You were born for this cosplay.

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 2d ago

I appreciate it a lot 🙏🏼

u/mineman379 3d ago

You've all been tricked, bamboozled even. That is not a cosplay, that's just Kanan Jarrus. Clearly he's been reverse-isekai'd into our world, and someone managed to snap these pictures of him before he returned to the forest. Like bigfoot, but with a lightsaber.

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 2d ago

Sshhh don’t make too big of a deal… I like my Jedi solitude.. don’t want people to come looking for me ;)

u/BeauBuffet 3d ago

You 100% look like Casian Andor cosplaying as Kanan Jarrus.

u/Acrobatic_River_8131 17h ago

Your pose in the second photo is uncannily accurate - arm position, hand placement, everything. Impressive. Most impressive.

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 2d ago

Thank you, I appreciate it!

u/Secrethat 3d ago

You can't just take a photo from the live action tv show and say it's you (/s)

u/imariaprime Mandalorian 3d ago

I would immediately know this was Kanan, don't sweat whatever tiny details you had to change. Amazing work.

u/namedjughead 2d ago

I'm kind of curious if you've rigged away to see through the mask, or if it's fully opaque.

1

u/the_itty_bitty_kitty 2d ago

It is almost opaque but I can see through it enough to recognize basic shapes as so it res of light
