This warrior for good was a bolstering force on the battlefield. Today we take a look at a Bastila Shan cosplay.
Bastila Shan is one of the most dynamic Jedi to serve in the Mandalorian wars and beyond. Her abilities with the force and on the battlefield were unique, to say the least, and her journey was one fraught with trials and tribulations.
Like Bastila, cosplayer April Gloria is a woman of nuance and strength. She regularly features dynamic characters and has a love of Star Wars. This week we’re showcasing her gorgeous screen-ready Bastila Shan cosplay.
“It couldn’t have been an easy task to find me there. Yet somehow you managed. You also avoided detection by the Sith, discovered I was a Vulkar prisoner, gained sponsorship for the race and became Taris swoop champion. That’s quite a resume.“
“The fact that you are so strong in the Force and have had such relatively little training could have terrible consequences. For you and for everyone around you.“
“Eventually, I will challenge my master. If I am worthy, he will die by my hand. And I will become the new Sith Master.”
[while talking to the Hutt on Tatooine about swoop racing, Bastila uses Force Persuade] “I’ve heard enough. You want to act in a peaceful manner. Now.”
“The Jedi do not believe in killing their prisoners. No one deserves execution, no matter what their crimes.“
