I have an idea for a cosplay character.  I want to base his armor off of the Imperial Knight armor with some slight changes.  Any suggestions anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Are you just looking to recolor? There's a shop on Etsy that does Imperial Knight Armor. Never purchased from them personally, but the reviews seem good. If you have access to a 3D printer, you might look at getting ahold of a template and printing/painting yourself

I wish I had a 3D printer.  To answer your question, the shoulder pauldrons I believe they are called would have three segments, not just two.  The other main difference would be the addition of a hooded cape.  This is for Jeskaaro Nova'arii, a member of the Fi'arii Elite Royal Guard.

If you don't have access to a printer, I might suggest learning simple armor building. A foam-worbla combo is relatively easy to make. I used it for my "Revan Armor Project" and it was very durable

Ya, I took a look at the link that you provided on Etsy and that wasn't accurate enough, lol

There are “more accurate” but they’re going to cost more. Best bet is probably getting foam, Worbla, sandpaper, and paint to DIY

No better time to learn than the present. Thread I mentioned was my first time too. It's not a difficult procedure assuming you can have someone measure you.  Look up "armor building tutorials" on Youtube and focus on those using EVA foam and/or Worbla. There are other methods too, but those tend to require a little more experience from my understanding.

I started with EVA foam, and then worked my way to Sintra for my Therion Jinn armor.
Plenty of tutorials on Youtube, and EVA foam can be very forgiving of mistakes as you learn as it's not as expensive as some materials

Think for now I am going to focus on this character's "Jedi" disguise.  So I will be looking to do something in that direction for now

I am thinking perhaps a cross between a ninja outfit and traditional jedi

Pauldrons, yes.  Also, the segments, in this application are called "lames", pronounced "lams".   Armor is weird, and almost all the terms are French.

I was born on this ship in hyperspace and I'll die on it character wise the saber I found as a child was a Siths damaged horribly  having repaired it I'm still "healing"  till it  no longer bleeds .
