This review of the Galaxy’s Edge Temple Guard Mask will go over the accuracy of the mask, it’s measurements, and it’s ability to be used as a mask. This guide reviews the mask based off the one seen in the Andor series.
This is not a sponsored review, the photos used in the review portion are of the mask I purchased for myself.
First Impressions and Unboxing Experience
The Mask comes in a huge cardboard box from Disney. If you get the chance to purchase one, be on top of the delivery as it would be irresistible for porch pirates.
The mask’s box measures to 16 in (40.6cm) width, 9 in (22.8cm) length, and 15 in (38 cm) height. Its design is nothing particularly special as it’s following the same design as other Galaxy’s Edge merchandise
When you open the box on top, it’ll look as if there’s another box inside. Do not try to shake it out, it’s actually not a box but a piece of protective cardboard right above the mask.
This can result in the mask being damaged depending on the height and type of surface it may fall upon. It can be tricky to pull out at first so perhaps opening it on a soft surface such as a bed would be a good idea.
Inside is the mask wrapped in plastic in a cardboard insert. Beneath that will be the stand that’s also wrapped in plastic.
At first glance, it looks nice and it’s noticeable that this has a “mass produced” feel to it. There are no lenses covering the eyes within the mask. You will be able to see the wearer’s eyes, so you will to install a black film beneath the eye slots if you want to retain anonymity for cosplay purposes.
Mask and Stand Measurements
The mask is about 13 in/33 cm in length, 9 in/22.8 cm in width, and 8 in/20.3 cm in depth. The stand’s base is an oval shape with a width of 7.25 in/18.4 cm in width and 8 in/20.3 cm in length, and stands 14.5 in/36.8 cm tall. Adding the mask to the stand increases the height slightly by 0.375 in/0.95 cm.
At the back of the mask are two elastic straps held together by a plastic disc. At the top of the ears and above, the plastic gets 0.375 in/0.95 cm thicker with some thin and stiff padding on the top of the mask and at the chin. The rest of the mask is 1/8th of an inch or 0.3 cm thick.
On the left and top sides of the elastic straps is some velcro you can use to adjust the size. Though the amount of extra space these straps grant isn’t that much.
Material Quality
It feels rather cheap overall, particularly the stand. The stand looks nice but you can just feel the brittleness of the plastic it’s made of. It’s one particularly bad fall from snapping apart. It is best placed somewhere that’ll be secure with little to no hands touching it.
The padding is so thin and lacks cushion, it at most provides a somewhat soft surface to place your face upon. The elastic feels fairly solid and with it’s width, it’s unlikely that this can be snapped from a tight fit. Unfortunately, the mention of a tight fit leads perfectly into the next topic…
Wearing the Mask
Going in, I knew that this mask would most likely not fit me. My hat size is 2 XL and I’ve had luck with a fan made version of the mask I got from Etsy. Unfortunately, this thing hurts my head to even lightly put on due to it’s small width relative to my head.
The worst part about wearing it? It hurts your temples a LOT. Ironic… it should be guarding the temples, not hurting them. It doesn’t help that this plastic is very stiff and offers no flexibility.
I had two friends try it on who have a small sized and medium sized head. It didn’t fit my friend with the small head as it was too big. While it fit more comfortably on a medium head, my friend said it was hurting their temples as well.
Flaws and comparison to Andor
For a frame of reference, the following image shows a closeup of the Jedi Temple Guard mask seen in Andor (which this particular mask is based upon). You’ll notice how the gold is rich in color and appears like antique gold. The masks also appears aged with some very light flaking on the surface.
One of the most obvious flaws is the texture on the mask. The best way I can describe it is as if someone had a low res JPEG image, expanded it without any enhancements, but in 3D.
The color of the gold is less rich and less saturated than the Andor counterpart, and it lacks the dark edges around the gold decorations. The texture of the gold portions a is trying to mimic the texture seen on the Andor version of the mask, but it isn’t as fine.
The ear pieces do not have the gold squares along the circular edge that was seen in Star Wars Rebels. This was also the case with the prop in Andor, so this was likely an oversight on the prop designer’s end.
Adding these and having them make depressions in the ear piece would give the mask a bit more depth.
Cost
Obviously we weren’t going to get movie prop quality masks from the Disney store at this price range. However it’d be nice to be able to have a bit more effort with the mask’s construction for the price being paid by the fans.
This mask became available at the Disney Store website on May 4th, 2026. It has a cost of $99.99 USD. Shipping and Handling was $14.95 and Sales Tax was $10.00 (may vary by location). Altogether, the mask cost $124.94 USD.
Is it worth the price? Only if you’re a collector of Star Wars merchandise. If it was $20 to $40 cheaper, then it may be more of a fair price for official merchandise of this quality.
Conclusion
If I had to give this a rating between 1 through 10, I’d give it a 5/10. It’s solid but it pales in comparison to what it can be. It really hurts to wear it, the textures are poor, but it still makes a good display piece for a desk, mantle, or shelf.
If you want something higher quality, you’ll likely need to go with a fan-made variant which you can build and customize yourself.
I had one from Etsy but it was in an outdoor storage and has since warped slightly. Once that’s repaired, I’ll likely replace the Disney mask with the fan-made mask.
Am I happy I got it? Yes, but only because Jedi Temple Guards are my absolute favorite Jedi. I’m rather nit picky with how they’re portrayed as you can see in my Jedi Temple Guard Black Series Figure Review. It’ll look nice on top of my desk’s hutch next to my custom made Jedi Temple Guard Pike.
