Off the Rack Rebellion episodes
- Episode 49 | Paradereigner
In this episode of Off the Rack Rebellion, host Billi catches up with fellow Burgundy Squadron member and RainCore creator @paradereigner to talk about his evolving journey of cosplay. Our guest looks back at his DIY origins—from backyard childhood adventures wearing ice cream tubs as helmets to the gritty early days of building fiberglass armor over hockey pads and chasing competitive trophies at conventions. The two break down the burnout of high-stakes competition and commission work, discuss what separates full-on cosplay from Star Wars and Disney bounding, and explore the challenges of learning new fabrication skills like sewing versus modern 3D printing.

In this episode of Off the Rack Rebellion, host Billi sits down with fellow Burgundy Squadron costumer and creator @NoisyMorning for a relaxed, wide-ranging chat about the craft of cosplay. Our guest opens up about his creative roots—from childhood Halloween projects and punk rock subcultures to learning to sew at thrift-machine stitch nights—and breaks down recent builds, including his stunning Canto Bight–inspired Twi'lek gown made from an IKEA duvet cover. The two dive into their mutual love for immersive storytelling, scouting real-world Star Wars photoshoot locations, tackling new fabrication skills like weathering and screen printing, and mapping out upcoming plans for Space Dive and Rebel Scum Con.
