Five Underrated Mandalorians and Concept Designs for Cosplay
Within the vast realm of Star Wars, the Mandalorians hold a prominent position in the ranks of popular cosplay subjects. For over a decade, as a dedicated cosplayer, I have experienced great excitement upon encountering novel characters and character designs at conventions attended with my sister and friends. These endeavors exemplify the beauty of the art form, not only in bringing characters to life through the eyes of talented artists, but also in sparking immense joy among children and families who cherish the opportunity to see their beloved characters materialize. Moreover, witnessing the creative interpretations and personal touches that cosplayers infuse into their designs is a captivating spectacle on social media. Among the most frequently portrayed characters, I have observed Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, Hera Syndulla, and Duchess Satine Kryze. These portrayals serve as a testament to the dedication and artistry of the individuals who bring these characters to life.

Comics and Censorship
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, the Comics Code Authority regulated and censored the content that comic books produced. There was what the industry considered “The War on Comics” and it resulted in books being canceled, and a seal of approval being required for anything that went to print. We then move to a time of book burnings, something that could be dated back to any point in societal conscious memory. Whether it be the actual content created or what society deems appropriate, censorship has always existed. Unfortunately we are returning to a time where censorship is a problem.
