The Mandalorian Standard Sidearm
Wookieepedia describes the WESTAR-35 as a pistol Mandalorians very often dual-wield, with a sealed, low-maintenance build. It first appears in The Clone Wars episode "The Mandalore Plot" (2010) in the hands of Death Watch, the faction Bo-Katan served before leading her own people.
Bo-Katan arrived two years later in "A Friend in Need" (2012), voiced by Katee Sackhoff, and the twin WESTAR-35s became part of her silhouette from that point on.
From Animation to Live Action
Sackhoff played the role in person for The Mandalorian Chapter 11, "The Heiress" (2020), and the twin-pistol loadout came with her. The armor, which in-universe has been in Clan Kryze for three generations, was realized by costume designer Shawna Trpcic.
For collectors, the pair is the point. Twin WESTAR-35s look strongest mirrored on a wall or crossed in a shadow box beside a blue-and-gray helmet display.
Building a Bo-Katan Kit
Bo-Katan's armor is blue and gray, and her pistols ride in holsters on both hips. Matching finishes on the pair matter more than any single detail, so buy both replicas at the same time if you can. For display, a vertical layout with the helmet on top and the pistols mirrored below it reads cleanly, and colored finishes such as graphite or gold let you match a specific clan scheme.
Owning a Replica
A Bo-Katan kit needs two pistols, so plan holsters and display space for a matched pair. The Bo-Katan WESTAR-35 blaster replica at Destiny Guns is a non-firing, fan-made display piece with no moving parts, built for cosplay kits, shelves, and wall mounts. For other options, browse the Star Wars blaster pistol and sidearm replicas, and keep any convention build within your event's prop rules.
