About the MPCC
In 2020, Ola Raas decided to form a new Star Wars costuming club focusing on the Mandalorian culture as presented in Star Wars media and merchandise.
This club was to be run by fans for fans with no unnecessary bureaucracy, no oppressive rules, no drama.
Under the provisional name of The Cuy’val Dar (Mandalorian for “those who no longer exist”), the unofficial title for the group of Mandalorian instructors for the Clone army on Kamino, she created a group for possible members on Facebook and after a core of members were assembled, brought the club to the attention of Lucasfilm Ltd who welcomed us with open arms.
When the membership expanded, a voting pertaining to the final name of the Club was initiated. The members decided that the new name would be The Mandalorian Protectors Costume Club.
Since then The Mandalorian Protectors have attended various Star Wars-themed events across the United States as well as in Europe.
The goal of the Club is to give fans of the Mandalorian culture a home, support each other in the celebration of their mutual interest in Star Wars, and ultimately spend time together at Conventions and other events, specifically those focusing on causes that benefit gravely or terminally ill children.
Between events, much of the communication is flowing in the Facebook Group and the Club’s Discord.
The Mandalorian Protectors Costume Club is an LFL recognized costume club and thus we are able to troop all the same fun and exciting troops as the other costume clubs.
