Artist Ryan Flowers has brought the iconic armor worn by Boba Fett to life through a recent project under the name of “Galactic Tactical” aka. “Galac-Tac” (a proper name suited for such a project). 

The Mandalorian armor has been a major figure of the Star Wars franchise since its debut in episode 5 “The Empire Strikes Back”, and remains to be a pop culture icon to this very day. 

However, this is not the first recreation of the infamous Mandalorian casque it is one of the most unique, featuring modern military hardware mounts across its frame. Additionally upon closer inspection, the frame of the helmet seems be modeled off of a modern military helmet variant (MICH 2001/FAST Helmet). 

While the armor may look like it can take a bullet or two, it has been clearly stated that the current models are not ballistic resistant. That being said, it would not be recommended to go hunting bounties in this gear. Nonetheless the room for actual application of the armor remains within realistic bounds and could theoretically provide adequate face protection from projectiles, making excellent equipment for heavy response teams in law enforcement. Who wouldn’t want to kick down doors geared up in Mandalorian battle garb?
