Dagan Gera Dark Jedi Research Thread
Trachta replied to LordZedel's topic in Miscellaneous Video Game Characters
Wait a second, that's not a valid reason for denial of a costume though. Ops say that they must be an antagonist or morally ambiguous. We have several characters that are already against the Empire in the roster such as Edrio Two Tubes, Hondo Ohnaka, Muftak, Pyke Syndicate, Benthic, Captain Ithano, Qi'ra, any of the Separatists, Jawas, Tusken Raiders, Maris Brood, Tam Posla, Bo Katan, Din Djarin, Axe Wolves, Delilah Blue, The Wampa, etc. I would re-submit asap citing these and tag a few Detachment leaders for it. Wouldn't this be accurate @DarthValkyria? -
This is the closest and appears to be the exact fabric used in Kenobi for the Grand Inquisitor https://www.silkproject.com/products/100-wool-gabardine?pr_prod_strat=copurchase_transfer_learning&pr_rec_id=f9415c13b&pr_rec_pid=5272481464482&pr_ref_pid=5272467210402&pr_seq=uniform The image below I made a while ago shows a close-up of the fabric of the Grand Inquisitor at Celebration 2022.

Baylon Skoll and Shin Hati costume discussion thread
Trachta replied to Trachta's topic in Live Action Shows/Film Characters
Observations part1: Both Baylon and Shin have cloaks, doublets, armor, and the whole dark Jedi aesthetic with both similarities and differences. Cloaks: Shin has a greyish olive or very dark brown (taupe?) cloak depending on the lighting she is seen in. It is a crinkle-style fabric with at least 2 plies or more in the hood but the cape portion is sheer enough for light to be seen behind it. A seam can also be seen right under her armpit on the cape. This leads me to believe her cloak at least has 3 panels for the cape portion. I believe the hood is in 2 pieces based on this image showing a seam going down the center. It is very easy to miss. The cape also gathers in the shoulder area (also note the seam line of a cape panel I totally just noticed now) It's very possible that the gather could be a sewn-in elastic chord that simply pulls the cape a bit as it kind of disappears as she moves forward and swings her lightsaber. Take note also that she has what looks like to be some kind of opera straps or something underneath her cloak on top of the doublet. It's visible in this image but it is not there when she is missing the cloak during the Starfighter scene in the Ahsoka Trailer. She also has these Kylo ren type sleeves though I recall the costume designer mentioning that they preferred to purchase already pleated fabrics than make them. Possibly accordion style which would explain the strange double seam on her arms to keep the pleats in place. The pleats make up just about less than half of the sleeves also: -
Couldn't this character be labeled "Inquisitor - TotJ" ?

New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
I think the top (back of hand) will need some kind of glossy / shiny black almost skeleton like claws that extend to the knuckles and a suede style glove. -
New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
I'm surprised to, the RLA was made for characters like this. -

I would say the cloak goes all the way down to his ankles. -

What about a light weight canvas fabric? Twill can also work. -
New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
Yes I noticed that too, there is indeed a backing. It's kind of like a bag over his head with the mask attached to it. -
New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
@TheLoneInquisitor Gabardine or thick twill fabric. Pretty much the same fabric as imperial officers. -
New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
The under cape has the same seam pattern as the top cape along the shoulder it looks like. Shouldn't the kama be a worn leather like material? It looks like distressed leather that is padded in the show. -

Pulled out my rubber today. Everything came out really good! Took me a month and many test pulls to get the technique down. -
Live Action (Kenobi) Grand Inquisitor Build
Trachta replied to Trachta's topic in Live Action Shows/Film Characters
Progress on the pants. Pin tucks are added, reinforced side seams and reinforced crotch as seen in reference images. Still need to add the waist band. I also have the sleeve pleats finished and ready to turn into actual sleeves. -
New Inquisitor (Tales of the Jedi)
Trachta replied to TheLoneInquisitor's topic in Miscellaneous Characters
I think the Inquisitor might actually be wearing 2 capes and I noticed the padding on the thighs extend up to the rib cage as well. The pouches on the side have belt straps kind of like what you would see on a holster and I noticed his gauntlets look very similar to the animated Grand Inquisitor ones. He also has a metal decoration on his back which I presume is where he keeps his saber. -
Live Action (Kenobi) Grand Inquisitor Build
Trachta replied to Trachta's topic in Live Action Shows/Film Characters
So I have been experimenting with rubber armor. I think I have the mixture just right and I have a casting made of the chest plate already. I'm going to be making castings of the armor pieces as well. The rubber I'm using has a shore hardness of 90. -
The Kenobi Behind the scenes documentary is going to drop on Disney plus in 4 hours, there might be some references there.

Live Action (Kenobi) Grand Inquisitor Build
Trachta replied to Trachta's topic in Live Action Shows/Film Characters
Big Update: My mask came in and it is gorgeous! I also have the armor finally smooth and ready to paint in a satin black. The soft parts are being worked on now, pleats for the sleeves were just finished recently and were a nightmare to do, the Kylo Ren costumers were right on how bad those were to sew lol.
