So my journey with Kanan has been long. But as the characters face their trials so must I. And sometimes moving forward means learning to see things differently and starting over. So here we go. It all starts with references. So once again I pulled from everything available for Kanan’s new look. Luckily it wasn’t… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Kanan Jarrus, Part 3
Ok so in part 1 I learned that building full armor takes a lot of cutting, sanding, glue, blood, and fingertips so here I continue to pay the price. Our build group of Kevin, Michael, Leeanna, Stacey, Emii, and Cam was still going strong. After trimming out the pieces, sanding the edges clean, and losing… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Jes Gistang, Part 2
Unlike our previous journeys, this one will take us down a new road. To the place of full armor. Kanan and Sabine have their share of armor but are far from this. So to get started we were able to take part in a project with KW Designs. Build and finish the Legacy female Stormtrooper… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Jes Gistang, Part 1
The instant we saw the very first “Meet Ezra” video from Star Wars Rebels, Axel knew he was perfect. A street smart clever little Loth Rat who doesn’t mind sticking it to the Empire? Perfect. As I mentioned before in another costume journey, before the show, before the Spark of Rebellion I was working with… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Ezra Bridger, Part 1
So we had finally seen Star Wars Rebels. And boy were we inspired. We set to work on our improvements of Sabine Wren’s costume. We had more references now and we used them to make Sabine as best as we could! Her shoulders aren’t quite the flat Boba shape, they were more curved and so… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Sabine Wren, Part 2
In our family Sabine’s journey is an interesting one. When we met the character in the original Meet Sabine video… we caught our first glimpse of something we’ve never had in Star Wars before. An artist. Liz was sold. At the time she had the same haircut and she basically fit the character look perfectly… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Sabine Wren, Part 1
So in Part 1 I talked about finding the references, hunting for materials, and starting the build. But there’s a lot more to finish so let’s continue this journey. More Building The Armor. The armor has been changed the most. I started with the first version made from foam. I went with a pretty dark… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Kanan Jarrus, Part 2
I always get some questions about some of our costumes and our build process. I have a few build threads on the Rebel Legion boards and the Saber Guild forums to help out any potential Kanans. But I thought I’d post up here and let everyone know how something like this gets put together. The… Continue reading Rogue Rebels Costume Journey: Kanan Jarrus, Part 1
Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a Jedi. Watching Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi representing all the heroism, strength, and determination of a real hero would be where my journey started so long ago. In a state far, far away. Texas. Born in New Mexico on the road with my… Continue reading How it all Started… (Sal’s version….)
