Building Bo-Katan Kryze: A 501st Approvable Mandalorian Armor Journey
Hey everyone, welcome back to Katie’s Corner! This week, I want to take you behind the scenes of one of our most exciting projects to date—a 501st approvable, screen-accurate Bo-Katan Kryze costume. Having already built my own Bo-Katan cosplay, I knew exactly what challenges to expect, but every build brings new lessons, refinements, and creative problem-solving. Instead of just listing every part of the build, I’ll share the process, challenges, and rewarding moments that made this project truly special.
