The final helmet and costume of the Armorer, designed by concept artist Brian Matyas, represents a balance between ancient, ceremonial Mandalorian armor and practical blacksmithing design elements. Barn owl-shaped eyes on Mandalorian helmets first appeared in the 2012 Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "A Friend In Need."

Nevarro, the volcanic home of the Mandalorian covert, was inspired by the dry and hard-packed lava flows of Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii and the stone streets and archways of the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii, Italy. The Lucasfilm art department also referenced the architecture and colorful marketplaces of Morocco in North Africa and the Middle East, which influenced the design of Batuu’s marketplace for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Concept artist Brian Matyas was influenced by the Brutalist and geometric shapes of the Art Deco and German Expressionist movement for the angular helmet of the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian, Paz Vizsla. The Gatling gun-type blaster cannon that Paz Vizsla wields was a nod to the M56 Smartgun from James Cameron’s science fiction film Aliens.

The symbol Doctor Pershing has on the right shoulder of his Imperial scientist uniform was inspired by the emblem seen on the Kamino-based clone soldiers in 2002's Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. And the uniform itself resembles the livery worn by Death Star scientist Galen Erso and his colleagues in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Recognize that camtono case? The prop was based on an item carried by Willrow Hood during the evacuation of Cloud City in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
