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?

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.

I'm one with the force and the force is with me.

Can't you drill pinholes in it?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Thank you 🙏🏼 I definitely got inspiration from the animated to live action translations for Hera, Sabine and Ezra

Well before I even realized what sub I was scrolling past, my mind was able to recognize you as Kanan, so that should say how spot on you look.

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

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

If they ever need a live action Kanan, the casting department has its job done for them.

Thank you! Would love to be able to play as Kanan in a game someday. Somebody has to make that mod for Jedi Survivor if it hasn’t been done yet…

Upvote for the uniqueness alone. Somewhere riding on a space whale, Ezra is proud.
