Really, it's confirmed that that's the case? Usually a production is not going give that much of a shit.

I just like the connection people made about the rebel pilot colors and the prison colors, and I don't know if it was intentional, but if so callbacks like that are the best.

Yeah, there's a Gizmodo article that says, "Andor’s costume designer specifically designed their prison outfits to be too uncomfortable to cosplay," and the words 'designed their prison outfits' is a link, which makes it seem like the link is going to be to an interview in which the costume designer is quoted saying this. But the link is actually just to another Gizmodo article about how uncomfortable the prison costume apparently was.

I read one interview with said costume designer, and he didn't say anything about the costumes being designed to discourage cosplay, and I've read a couple of interviews with the creator who never mentions it either.

It might still be legit info, but if it is then I wish someone who cite the source, because I wasn't able to find it.

oooh that is some creative paraphrasing. the hollywood reported article also quoted doesn't mention anything except that they were uncomfortable for the actors

I likewise would like some citation on this, because in a world where the 501st/Rebel Legion are frequently tapped for official Disney business, I have a hard time believing that anything is done to fuck over cosplayers. Now, if the uniforms look uncomfortable that doesn't mean they are...and this is being marketed to a group that routinely wears head-to-toe ABS plastic in Atlanta in August. I have, shall we say, doubts.

I highly doubt Disney gives enough fucks about cosplayers to think of them at all.

Huh. But that just looks... like some white sweatshirts with some orange tape stuck to it? Not anywhere near the levels of uncomfortable a Stormtrooper armor would be, that's for sure.

Yeah I call bullshit. These are annoying to make due to the seams, but they are actually incredibly comfortable? As someone who made one thats screen accurate.

I know the whole "too uncomfortable to cosplay" thing is a tossed out statement from some fluff-piece article, but I have yet to be able to find an actual source for that info. If anybody has one, I'm all ears.

The actors have said they hated the costumes, because they were some kind of cheap, flimsy, paper-like fabric, designed to look like they were disposable. Also, because they had to wear them day after day. Also, because they didn't get to wear shoes. And also because the set was sterile and white and the costumes were sterile and mostly white and everybody was dressed the same, which made for a kind of monotony and lack of personal identity that was unpleasant over time. Which is to say, they were very well-designed costumes that achieved exactly the effect they were going for.

And of course they're being cosplayed like crazy; they're relatively cheap and easy to make (or buy). Also, a lot of people relish the chance to embody such a great part of such a great show.
