StarWarsHelmets.com Video Review of original ESB Helmet

Star Wars Helmets · **Posted:** Sun Sep 28, 2008 12:08 pm

I took a couple of minutes footage (literally) of the "patch" ESB helmet I authenticated for Christies a few years back. Ive edited it into a "review" of the helmet and included some background info on the history for people less-versed in the background to these helmets.

I've stuck it on Youtube and its in two different resolutions, the upper one is not bad. If people think these are worthwhile then I'll do some more going forward.

Next up will be the original TIE -so if anyone has any decent HD grabs please let me know. I'd like to use clips from the movie but unfortunately my SW DVD's are NTSC but all my footage is PAL (also I'm not sure how you can steal a clip from a DVD.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind comments guys

NHM - thats a lovely thought - give up my job and just concentrate on SW helmets - a nice dream!

Chefhawk - Duh! youre right. Ive got ANH in HD on my drive so thats cool. However I'd also like to add some clips from the movie itself. I may need to buy the PAL version of the DVD as I only have the NTSC presently and I dont think you can convert it.

Cheers

Don't joke Jez - we all know how Steve Sansweet got where he is today. And you are
'the man' when it comes to one-stop-shop SW costume reference.

Very kind of you to say so mate :salut

I've just started on the TIE review, loads of stuff to assemble though - a lot more footage than the ESB trooper
