StarWars.com takes a facinating dip into some very tangible elements, two metals that play an important part in the Star Wars story – cortosis and beskar. Take a look at the difference between these key metals, their origins (beskar from Tales of the Jedi in the 90’s and cortosis from I, Jedi) and how they work.
Forging a new pauldron to commemorate your recent mudhorn kill like the Mandalorian? Need a spear that can stand up to a lightsaber like Morgan Elsbeth’s? Can’t seem to find the perfect creepy mask for your moody dark side fit ala the Stranger in The Acolyte? Sounds like you may need a little Star Wars metalwork in your life. And right now, nothing says, “I’m here to slay” like the two hottest metals in the galaxy — cortosis and beskar!
But what’s the difference and which one is right for you?
