- The recent Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor shows were the first time in Star Wars that Clone Troopers were depicted in live action! The team at FBFX were responsible for the creation of the armor and costume worn on set, and Adam learns from FBFX workshop fabricator Alea Holland (and Imperial Stormtrooper cosplayer!) about how FBFX built the armor using Lucasfilm digital reference and the challenges of making it a practical costume!

Weird most people called her lesbo for the last 10 years!
I love Ace. I watch her since I was 9yo. She reminds me of my childhood
Bringing the clone trooper armor design to life looks really nice and I’ve seen many cosplayers bring ancient Sith Lourdes to life such as Darth Nylas Darth Revan Darth bane in his or ballistic armor, and I think that it would be really cool if the ancient dark Lord of the Sith who served the Sith empire throughout the old republic era, and especially throughout the great galactic war. Darth mar if this dark lord of the Sith. And his iconic armor was brought to life, then that would look really cool in my personal opinion.
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 - Most people? Maybe a few ignorant low IQ morons, but not most people.
What’s the fabric called
When Adam pulls out the little flashlight, you know he's really into what he's seeing. Love to see it.
I love how we all notice the same things 😂
Ya see, I love seeing you loving seeing Adam loving seeing things.
I mean he can’t see it well if it’s so dark
When the flashlight comes out, you know things just got real.
you can tell shes a fan whenever she says the clones are supposed to be better shots!!!
Conversely, you can tell that Adam Savage is *not.*
@@tonystank3091 yeah he just worked on the prequels nothing much
@@tonystank3091 Don't have to be a fan to appreciate the work. I haven't seen any of the new Disney content or movies, but I will always enjoy seeing people make props happen.
@@tonystank3091This is coming from a Star Wars obsessive. A person doesn't have to consume every single movie, TV show, book, comic, etc to be a fan. A person doesn't need to know every background character, alien race, and fictional gadget name. Stop gatekeeping.
@@AlasdairGR thank you
I’d argue that the clone trooper design is one of the coolest looking outfits in all of cinema. It’s literally so cool and can have so many different versions.
Agreed
I wish I could even like it it’s always looked so plastic to me and no exo Skelton or bullet proof. Like they get hit one time in the arm and they still die?
@@FlasRoose Nobody uses bullets in Star Wars...
@@FlasRoose I think they make the armor from "plasteel", in universe, which is basically plastic looking steel
@@FlasRoose Unfortunately that's just movie tropes. You got the same thing often happening to medieval knights in full plate harness. "Oh no someone slashed a sword across my back! Got me right in the... plate armor! *falls over dead*".
I love how Adam says 'you are a storm trooper COSPLAYER and she answers "Yes I'm a STORMTROOPER".
She probably is a stormtrooper cosplayer, she did say something like the clones were better shots so she does know the difference obviously
@@DJFowFow420 You don't say?
Most likely because she's 501st
@@M0nlyfans nop she’s the founder of the “Imperial Outlanders” (separate costume club entirely)
@@balisbasementanerdynonsens8266 thanks for the info! Didn't even know they existed only ever heard of 501st
Absolutley amazing work, glad to see that fans and cosplayers are making their way into the industry and getting to use the amazing skills that theyve gathered
Yep
i never understand why it takes so long when the fans for any series typically make some of the best content for things they like so much! id be hiring those guys left and right! then maybe EP 10-12 won’t be a bummer too
@@michelangelo5903 If you aren't rich enough to get some worthless degree, companies like Disney will treat you like you don't exist.
@@omnomnomynous yeah that does make sense tbh i personally would just want the fans who make that kind of stuff to be the ones working on it! but of course they wouldn’t do that that would make to much sense
Only cause it saves huge amount of money to not actually produce them lmao, bypasses union jobs etc etc lol
Can’t believe she got to work on an actual on screen piece! She’s come a long way! So cool!
I think they learned really quickly from bringing the 501st chapter out to film the Mandalorian season 1 finale that the fans do quality, camera ready work. You can't be in the 501st unless your armor is at a certain level of screen accuracy.
@@AlasdairGR i know the 501th was hired also for rogue one, but as far as I know Ace is not part of the 501th for some reasons she talks about this in a video.
@@grievoustheboss large organizations have their downsides. My local chapter of the 501st is extremely pretentious and difficult to make inroads as a newcomer. There's a bit of elitism associated with the 501st, and I've seen plenty of independents come up with amazing cosplays that are every bit as good as what the 501st members put together.
@@Cortexian Couldn't agree more. There are some absolute pricks in the legion...... like a lot of them. So many people take being a plastic space man too seriously.
@@AlasdairGR - She's not 501st, and like many others, she's had some negative experiences interacting with them. She talks about it here. ua-cam.com/video/R3PP7-pnmuA/v-deo.html She has her own Star Wars costuming club she started.
It’s is so weird cause I didn’t know Ace was working in the clone trooper outfits. I’ve been watching her for years and the fact that she’s working on something as big as Obi-Wan and standing in front of Adam Savage the man who helped made the props and settings for the prequel Star Wars, really makes me smile.

@@styxrakash4639 whoops my bad let me fix it up.🤣
If only Star Wars was were it once was lol
It was so cool to see ‘real’ clone armour in an SW project.
I suspect one of the biggest ‘problems’ converting the design from CG to actual armor was the ankles/ lower thigh area. I always remember seeing clone reference pics in ‘05 that always seemed to have rediculously thin lower legs, assumedly because no one actually tried on a suit of it to go ‘yeah that’s too small’
I didn't notice how the armor looked thin until I saw the live action. Now the CGI just looks plain unnatural with how tight it is.
The sizing can be changed, the worst offender for clones is that hip joint with that big pointing tight armor that sticks out in a very exaggerated way. Especially on phase 1 clones (the ones from episode 2), those things also happen to collide with the belt boxes, to maximize your inconvenience :D
As the video say : they were just digital assets and of course you can clip armor parts fairly easily without it being too visible on screen.
But once you convert those shapes to physical form... that's an entirely different story of course.
I love ace cosplay. She's such a talented cosplayer and armor builder. So happy to see her get some more recognition
Disney needs to do more of this. Hiring actual fans who can do their job well. That tells you they will be passionate and will do a spectacular job. Great job
facts lil bro
Lucasfilm do do a lot of this stuff. It's a shame there's a massive contingent of the fanbase saying Lucasfilm/Disney hate Star Wars and are destroying the franchise when they literally have legions of fans helping create their content.
@@ZachBobBobIt isnt things like this, its the writers they use, many of whom seem to not know anything about the franchise story/storytelling that everyone is mad over. Like the sequels, hot garbage. Vader comics pretty good.
I've watched Ace Cosplay for years it's so inspiring seeing when a hobby like cosplay can open the doors into an industry like this.
*cough cough* leak the files please *COUGH*
Cough cough galactic armoury COUGH
@@JarJarThinkscough cough cardboard and resin COUGH
More companies need to hire true fans like her
When Adam said clone troopers were bad shots and she corrected him and even when she said her name wasn’t Jango. Made Adam look like a newb
Stormtroopers aren't even bad shots to begin with... people all think of A New Hope, but there's plenty of IP out there now with accurate stormtroopers.
@@nahor88 Yeah they base them off the media where every character has plot armor when they're actually elite forces that you do not wanna see. That being said there was a massive MASSIVE loss of quality when switching from clones to the TK program.
Yeah I'm really getting "I think stormtroopers and clone troopers are the same" vibes from Adam here.
@@nahor88 a majority of Storm Troopers were grunts we’re not talking about special forces here. Empire just mass recruited humans all over the galaxy for the numbers. Clones were designed for war, that was their only purpose. So yeah, they’re going to be pretty bad shots compared to the Clones.
@@sithddy7208 People imply that ALL stormtroopers are bad shots cuz of A New Hope. It's a stereotype.
The irony that Alea got a rift with the 501st cosplayer jerks for not being accurate enough with her costumes, and now she was responsible for recreating the 501st armor for the actual franchise. She played the long game and won.
So happy for her to be able to check off so many things on any Star Wars fan's bucket list, meeting Adam Savage, being involved in the movies, etc etc
Yeah it always pissed me off how the 501st cosplay group rips into people for not having "accurate" costumes. Why do they get to decide what is accurate or not is my question, because I've seen some of their CRLs that look absolute trash.
@@thorn6070 Fanbases are always the worst part of a franchise. And the more some of those people focus their entire life and identity around their position inside a franchise...looking at a certain guy who claims himself the face of A Song of Ice and Fire, the more authoritarian and gatekeeping do they become.
And Star Wars fans nearly drove three of the main characters to suicide because they didn't live up to their expectations.
i remember that lol the irony
@@thorn6070 idk to be honest the higher tier levels on certain costumes is pretty dang accurate to what was used on set but thats the thing they make suits that imitate how they were made but not how they they were ideally meant to appear in the starwars universe like for instance the sandtroopers with packs uneven and almost drooping with black tape holding it together like yes if you want to do that look cool but i would rather have one with a well put together pack like how it was meant to be instead of focusing on the qorks of the production which came to light and visible when we got high def
@@louisGauto Yeah but my point is, people get turned down for having very minor discrepancies in their costumes, but some of them are the actual CRL references that aren't accurate to anything. I saw a CRL post for "Citadel Echo" and it had the ugliest, most inaccurate helmet I've ever seen. 501st really need to pull their heads of their asses and sort their egos out.
Shocked to see the Imperial outlanders costuming club founder in this and knowing she was responsible for the clones in Kenobi and andor. Glad to be in the imperial outlanders and to have met Adam at a con too.
Greetings from Imperial Outlanders Germany

“Cool. A Tested video about the live action Clone armor.”
*clicks video*
“Whoa! Ace Cosplay is there.”
Congrats Ace on being able to do something you love.
I love ace, such a great doctor who reference
Thank you Alea for helping bring such an iconic armor to live action! You've made Star Wars history!
I remember watching her cosplay here on YT back in the day. So glad for her to be able to work with this!
I watched her on youtube! She's really good at making costumes! So cool to see that she gets the recognition she deserves 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🎉
I wouldn't think she identifies as female. I am surprised
I had no idea Ace Cosplay worked on these, that is the coolest detail ever, now not only have we had cosplayers play stormtroopers in the Mandalorian but now we have cosplayers making the screen used costumes
Man, if only this much love and passion went into the writing of Kenobi. She did an excellent job
Seeing this video is truly extraordinary, I discovered Ace Cosplay for the first time on youtube in 2008 while looking for advice on making a stormtrooper costume, and now she has collaborated on an official production, it really makes me happy.
I've always been a fan of the clones and also have the chronicles of prequels book, actually seeing the 3d model of the ILM and the new armor is amazing.
I've followed Ace Cosplay for years and it's amazing to see a passion become a fan reality! Great work! 💗
Yeah I was shocked to hear she did that work for lucasfilm!
It's amazing to see that Ace is doing this now. She really deserves this job!
Being a massive clone fan since 2002, seeing Clones come to life in live-action is a dream come true! It's so incredible to finally see this on screen! I hope this isn't the last time we see them!
Love to see passionate people talking about how proud and awesome their work is. Ace really aced it! (I'll see myself out)
I love AceCosplay! Been subscribed for years now!
I was trying to place her for a second before they introduced her AND OMG, ive been following her on UA-cam for a while and I'm so happy and proud that she turned her passion into a career and actually working on a star wars production! Way to go Ace!!
She may not be Jango Fett, but she helped let boys in blue go out on the big screen IRL. Thank you so much for your work! The armor looks fantastic and they were great in Kenobi. Hopefully we’ll see more live action Clones in future Star Wars media.
Great to see the genuine pride and sense of fun in the maker's face. You can tell they love their job, and rightfully so! Great work.
So cool!!! I've watched Ace for years!!! Living the dream now!
One minute I'm binge watching ace cosplay through lockdown now she's being interviewed by Adam ! Great to see her future building so quickly.
I remember years ago watching videos of a young Ace suiting up in traditional imperial armor. So happy to see such a passionate person come full circle!
Just amazing! Finally! Thank's for sharing!
Ace...Ur a Star!
the improvements from BOBF to Kenobis/Andors Clones is amazing
especially in such a short amount of time
Oh my God I remember Alea vividly. She was a huge inspiration for me to get my own Stormtrooper armor ❤
It must have been an honour for Adam to meet Ace Cosplay… a true artist with a talent that meets her passion.
OMG AceCosplay!!!!!! I’ve followed her for YEARS and now she’s here!! This is so heartwarming 💙
The "Correction" at 3:50 is wrong. She is correct. She was referring to Storm Troopers. They are Vacuum formed due to the fact they are made from sheets of plastic and not a resin that is cast using vacuum. The second "Correction" was needed. She only flubbed once, not twice.
Good on Ace! I remember the 501st cosplay group giving her a hard time. The tides have turned methinks
I recall her saying in a video in June 2015 she would never join the 501st because of issues with the UK garrison and started her own club-Imperial Outlanders. Glad to see she resolved the problems and is now "a card carrying member"
No one gave her a hard time. There was a miscommunication and she made a mountain out of a molehill, she is also not a 501st member.
props to the clone trooper for remaining completely still during these 8 minutes, good soldiers follow orders
Fans who worked on the movies/shows are always an amazing asset for the producers and us viewers!
Hell yeah two of my favourite UA-camrs and cosplayers
Holy cow she really nailed the proportions which not everyone seems to be able to do. Just perfect! 😙👌
My favourite has always been Ace's Zombie Death Trooper cosplay.
Brings a tear to my eye, looks awesome and I’m a big fan of anything clones.
Man would it be a treat to see the making of some of these movie famous costumes. Given the time crunch movies and TV are usually under I doubt that will happen. This is the next best thing. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Incredible to see.
I always wondered if they actually made the clone suits for that Order 66 scene in obiwan since it was so short. Glad to see it was!
Really awe inspiring too to see the care they've been made with to ensure they are good to wear for longer periods like convention cosplays.
One can only dream of getting an undersuit like that one with the details and breathable materials.
Ace Cosplay the GOAT,a lot of my stuff has been bought on her reviews alone
I used to watch Ace Cosplay when I was just getting started! Her tusken raider head video was excellent!
Oh my god I remember her ! She came a long way and now she made a mark in the films wow 😮
I remember watching Ace on youtube building their stormtrooper armor. Great to see them years later doing fantastic work! Also love the detail about seams. It's the part I'm struggling with the most on my stormtrooper armor
She* her(
I was so hyped when these showed up on screen. Was not a prequel fan but the clone wars series is probably one of the best Star Wars thing
One of my favorite recent moments in any of the recent Star Wars shows
This is crazy I used to watch her channel back in the 2010s, good to see her going way higher!
I thought I recognized her from somewhere. More than a decade ago I was also interested in a few quirks of stormtrooper Armor. Especially the comm system. Glad to hear she is doing so great!
No matter what I will always appreciate Obi Wan for having the first live action Clone armor. Was pleasantly shocked seeing the Clone veteran, didn't expect to see full suits. Also love Alea's "I am an Imperial stormtrooper".
What an amazing job. The armour looks clean. Ace seems pretty proud of it.
so cool to see Ace Cosplay with Adam Savage! she's come a long way
When adam was commenting on her facial expression at the end at 7:55 like a proud parent and she responds “I would have too many and I’m not Jango Fett”😂🙏🏻love it, a true Star Wars fan
Adam, I just recently found your channel and love everything you do. I always enjoyed you on MythBusters, but had no idea you used to work at ILM. How awesome must that have been! My favorites so far are your visits to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and making your lightsaber. The one-day builds are cool too. I love the look of your workshop too and I find myself focusing on the background quite often during your videos. Please keep up the terrific work.
Been watching Ace for a decade. Glad to see work recognized
That is how star wars should be produced...by proud fans whose dream is to bring certain props, characters and great stories to life.
As someone who built their first foam clone trooper cosplay. Small details from this was really helpful and my god that looks so cool.
To quote Director Krennic: “It’s Beautiful!”
Ace wow it's been years . Great to see this move . Wow! From rain to work awesome.
Absolutely love the passion here !
Thanks to all of these close-ups, I can't wait to see the new listings in the 501st CRL for the Kenobi version of the armor!
I think people would prefer to call it Andor clone armor because beside it also being used there and on much greater scale (Andor had 36 clones if you count them and do the math, a proper platoon), Andor is leagues ahead of Kenobi which was riddled with problems and many people don’t like.
@@lembitmoislane. they had far less screen time
YEEEEES I was really hoping you would take a look at this one! Saw it in the background of the Vader Suit Video🤘 Adam I think you need to tackle a clone trooper outfit at some point 😂😎
I LOVE WATCHING ACE!! Been followings ace’s channel for a long while! Awesome to see her taking o and helping with these projects!! Congrats!!!
Congrats Ace!! So proud of you. Have been following you forever. Dream come true
"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
I got quite offended when Adam said that clones are bad shooters
If they were good shooters they'd be no cast left for the film ☠️
I used to watch Ace back in the day when I was making my Stormtrooper. Well done her! Living the dream!
I recognised Ace right away! Their work is always fantastic, I had no idea they were involved!
I hope every 501st member that disrespected or mistreated Alea (or any other fan and non-501st cosplayer) see's this, and is seething with envy. She's the best example of a true fan and proof that perseverance pays off when you work hard because you love something. Congrats Alea! Well deserved success!
We’ll said Sir 😄
Yess, I knew it. This armor set was used for the mandalorian season 3,thats why the dark blue and more weathering. People conplained about the light blue and lack of battle damage in the kenobi series, so they listened and improved it
I have 4 different Clone Trooper Helmets (Phase I, Phase II, Phase I Cartoon, Republic Commando "Boss") and I love them all dearly. But seeing good Clone Trooper Cosplay and this glorious "real" clone trooper armor always amazes me. Man this is so cool.
Very cool! I loved the look and that must have been fun for Adam to see. I wonder how long it will take before he makes one of his own for cosplay?
I didn’t notice that it was an actual suit in the show. That’s how you know that you did a good job replicating a CG thing IRL or vice versa
They definitely did an amazing job
I didn't notice they were CG in the original star wars in the up close shots where the clones were interacting with the main character (obviously I could tell in the zoomed out battle/army shots) but I was quite young when I originally saw it, now looking at it I can clearly see the CG suits. I think the reason it works so well is because so much of the scenes are CG and basically the only real thing is the actors themselves. If you had everything real and then stuck a CG character in it would be much more obvious that it isn't real.
This is awesome, Looks amazing!
Wow that has to be the best looking amour I’ve seen
So happy to see Ace! She is such a nice women. I have meet her at Stat Wars Celebration. She is also a fellow member of the 501st Legion with me.
For the republic!
Ace is a great cosplayer who i’ve known on instagram for awhile. Both heroes in one room, it never gets old. Adam and Ace you both are legendary.
Man, work like this almost makes me want to be a cosplayer myself. Can just imagine donning this armour and feeling totally badass!
This is so cool and I love it
A beautiful 501st costume.
This looks amazing!!! My only problem is the missing 2 lines on the chest but it is so beautiful 😩
Yeah that’s the hashmark, only animated clone renditions are supposed to be missing it. Realistic movie style it’s supposed to be there.
Yay Alea!! Imperial Outlanders!💪 She definitely knows her troopers.
Thats cool, mental how far you have come, Ace! All that hard work has certainly paid off!
As a fellow (First Order) Stormtrooper, I remember watching Ace’s TK armor and various Imperial Officer uniform videos. Nice to see her now working with an FX group that’s contracting with LucasFilm.
This armor is stellar and I'm glad for all the modifications that allow it to now look more natural when fitting real people.
I have one small tinnnnyyy nitpick though bc I had to compare this with the original for a class assignment: this version is missing the two little dashes on the chest plate. Very small not a big deal lol, but i noticed it and now I can't unsee it lol
It was honestly really exciting to see the Clone Troopers brought to life the same way the Storm Troopers have always been.
Absolutely fantastic bravo the work was beautiful.
Love the 501st blue, but i'm hoping we'll get to see a specific unique suit of clone armour at some point.
Are you thinking of Ahsoka's clone unit?
@@NuclearFridge1 Mainly thinking of Rex.
I really hope someone can contrive a way for Ace to voice a Kaminoan armourer some day.
This was such an interesting watch. The rubber straps on the knees and elbows is just genius, really didn't look like rubber until she pulled at it
She's really cool. I'm glad it was here that was involved!
ACE MADE THIS?!? Been following them for a long time on UA-cam!
