This Barbie Is A Jedi: Star Wars Cosplay Is The Perfect Crossover-TGN

This galactic Barbie-inspired Star Wars cosplay puts Barbie on the front lines of the Clone Wars, complete with a fabulous new color scheme.

Summary

  • Barbie’s Star Wars cosplay as a Jedi General adds excitement to her many professions, showing what she would look like in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s battle armor.

  • Cosplayer Mads created the cosplay, which includes every detail of Obi-Wan’s outfit from The Clone Wars, turning the robes and armor into pink and white.

  • Another cosplay project featuring “AnaKen Skywalker” is in the works, promising an exciting reveal and a fun new twist on the characters.

Barbie becomes a Jedi General during the Clone Wars in an incredible Star Wars cosplay that adds a new level of excitement to her many professions. Over Barbie’s decades-long career history, she has been many things, but now she can add “Jedi Master” to the list. Taking inspiration from the battle armor worn by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the cosplay creates the perfect look at what the character might look like if the worlds of Barbie and Star Wars were to collide.

Cosplayer Mads posted the creation to Twitter, thanking her followers for their support and love for the costume.

The cosplay takes every detail of Obi-Wan’s outfit from Star Wars: The Clone Wars into account, turning the Jedi’s simple beige robes and armor shades into pink and white. Complete with a Barbie-pink lightsaber and light blonde curls, this Barbie looks ready for a battle with General Grievous.

Barbie-Wan Kenobi Is Only Missing AnaKen Skywalker

Obi-Wan isn’t the only one getting a Barbie-inspired makeover. In her post, Mads mentions that one of her friends is currently working on a cosplay for an “AnaKen Skywalker” project. Though the costume is presumably still in development, the final project is sure to be an exciting reveal. Beyond a similarity in their names, the correlation between Ken and Anakin is a perfect one to capitalize on: just like Ryan Gosling’s Ken, Anakin also struggles to identify what standards he is expected to live up to, ultimately crumbling under the weight of that pressure. Meanwhile, at least in the eyes of Anakin, Obi-Wan is “everything.”

Once the second cosplay is ready to be revealed, the cosplayers will likely post another picture with these new versions of the characters together. Barbie-Wan turned a stoic general into a colorful warrior, and similar treatment for Anakin can only be more amusing. The brilliant blend of Barbie and Star Wars invites audiences to look at Obi-Wan and Anakin in a brand-new way, making new connections to the characters while having a giggle at their light-hearted and fun transformations.
