Making a Chewbacca Mask
Ever wondered how a Chewbacca mask is made? Or whether you should go with silicone vs EVA foam? In this video, I compare both methods, break down the costs, build time, comfort, and realism, talk about how to style it, and show you the exact mask I wear for events. Perfect for Star Wars cosplay, costuming, and makers deciding on their own Chewbacca build.
