It is practically galactic law that every time a new Mandalorian debuts in the Star Wars universe, they instantly become the new favorite. First, we had the OG king, Boba Fett, with his worn-in, dented-helmet green armor, but then Din Djarin came along to steal both his thunder and claim to being the definitive member of his species, thanks to his sleek, silver suit. And yet a new Mando has now entered the chat, and they are leaving Pedro Pascal‘s space daddy in the dust.
TikToker eyske has shared their own unique, glorious take on the Mandalorian costume, which reimagines the classic Mando helmet and body armor with a disco-style mirrorball effect, pairing it with a hot pink cape and skirt. The real chef’s-kiss touch, however, is the fact that the reveal video is perfectly choreographed to iconic audio of Pascal telling us all that he loves us and to “slay” (yes, that’s actually Pascal).
It must’ve taken a lot of work to put a look this good together, so it’s heartening to see this cosplay slay earning a lot of love from commenters. “This. Is the best thing I’ve ever seen!!!” wrote one while another gushed, “omgggg… this is BEYOND fantastic.” Although another comment put it best with the line, “your beskar look has me beskar shook.”
If we have one tiny complaint, it’s that the cosplay needs a yassified version of Mando’s signature weapon to really pop. As another comment responded, “Needs the Sparklesaber as well!” Honestly, Moff Gideon or Bo-Katan can keep the Darksaber, the Sparklesaber has got to be the must-have armor accessory of the season this side of the Outer Rim.
The Mandalorian season three could arguably have used a touch of extra color, so no one would complain if Pedro Pascal switches his wardrobe up to something like this in season four. Or maybe even for a show-stopping cameo in Ahsoka.
