Tasked with hunting down anysurviving Jedi after Order 66and capturing Force-sensitive children – those who may one day become a threat to the Sith and the Empire – Vader’s Inquisitors have a reputation for being ruthless, conniving, heartless, and fearsome, despite their tragic origins.Their helmets, armor, and character designs are an integral part of what makes the Inquisitors so compelling,and this cosplayer certainly understood the assignment.
Crafted by Sabertrio (@sabertrio), a company that manufactures custom, “duel-ready” lightsabers, this original Inquisitor cosplay worn by cosplayer Elizabeth (@elizabethcking) perfectly captures the fierce determination of Darth Vader’s dark-side hunters. The armor is immaculate – the harsh Imperial-inspired angles and the shoulder pauldrons create an intimidating silhouette, and the bright red dual-bladed lightsaber proves that this Inquisitor means business.
The design and craftsmanship are stunning. This character would look right at home in aStar Warsmovie or TV show!
