Man that's a night and day difference from the stock BS saber! I'll have to find you at the Con, I'll be there in my Jedi  costume all weekend.

Ah, that probably won't happen. I found out SuperCon in Ft Lauderdale is having a couple of saber combat workshops on Saturday, so I'm changing great and heading that way this weekend.

Was a mad dash to get the costume tweaked. Big change was moving the pleated sleeves to another layer for better range of motion and the ability to re-use them for an Ep8 costume. Also added some clips to the coat to hide my audio equipment under the scarf.

Still need to make a smaller belt and tweak a few other things, but have a couple of SuperCon pics!

Heh, here's another shot with Grandma:



And an explanation for where I hid the audio equipment:



Orange is the mic, blue are the amps/speakers, green is the pitch shifter and mic power, while purple are the audio cables running from Mic>Pitchshifter>Amp1, and Saber>Amp2

Probably my favorite part about this picture is the moment afterward.

Random Guy: "Hey, say 'Thanks, Grandpa.' "
Kylo Voice: "THANKS GRANDPA!"

Touching up the saber before I tackle the leather cape.

Had this in pieces for a while to investigate the audio whine from the crossguard circuit. Turns out there's no preventing it without going for a custom soundboard, so soldered everything back up and hit the hilt with a gloss coat.



I'm usually opposed to gloss on cosplay pieces (a bad job can make pieces look plastic), but just about everything on Kylo's supposed to shine to prevent his design from being a formless black blob.

Also made some replacement clips and test-fit the new transparent red wire.



I'll try for a proper photoshoot after the hurricane passes,

Wow Kouri, you have some SKILLS; that saber is remarkable (and realistic) looking!  Outstanding work  Smiley

Either you like Star Wars... Or you're wrong.

Just now saw this thread and the brilliant work on the saber and costume. I'm applauding you right now. This is incredible work, and in my opinion movie ready.  You must get a LOT of requests for pictures at Comic Cons.  Cheesy  Very nice work. So impressive. Seeing the work you poured into this sure makes my costume look entry level. I still love my costume but this is a whole other level. Thanks for sharing the development on this. For sure deserving of point after point after point, so expect a few to be coming your way over the next 24 hours.
