How to build a Cad Bane costume from The Book of Boba Fett
The wonderful Cad Bane, Jedi Bounty Hunter from the Clone Wars and the Book of Boba Fett has given all us Star Wars cosplayers a tremendous new costume to figure out. This was an incredibly time pressured build for me as I had tickets to have a photo with Cad Bane actor Dorian Kingi at comic con.
Here's a video that shows my build process from start to finish, and a list of all of the sellers and makers I used for the parts I didn't make myself are listed at the bottom of this blog.
When I kicked off this build I did an initial post to show the completed mask and I also posted some tips on how to speak like Cad Bane which you might find useful if you fancy getting fully into character.
