Yeah... can't wait for that one. Hope you find a picture of the Vader plaster master for it as well... that'd be super sweet, but I'd buy the book regardless.

If only......................

I'll put you on the waiting list :wink:

Very nice, thanks Brian. :salut

Yes they look like grabs from video footage. It's great to have the date.

The screen knee boxes seem to be half the original height? Maybe they just took those original taller boxes and cut them in half?

In some ways that trooper armor looks a bit more like the McQuarrie...a cleaner look.

WOW just WOW :drool

Brian. Many, many thanks for sharing these screen grabs. A new piece of the puzzle has been added...

Yep these knee boxes are about the same size as the screen belt boxes.

Brian, any idea what these two cylindrical/tube shaped things might be?

I already figured it out myself... :lol

....it's something in the background; not a part of the armor.

The bell at the back of the helmet almost looks like it is separate to the cap/back piece.

Looks like it might be WED 15 Septoid 2:s arms.

Wow, nice screen grabs Brian. Thanks for sharing the pics. If you have the video and need to edit it so we can see a portion of it, let me know. :thumbsup

Did anyone notice there is no "swoop"? :wink:

IN addition it looks like the back of the helmet is made from a different material from the front - unless thats the light reflecting off it.

Otherwise it looks like one of the helmets seen on the street set of pics

I'd love to see that video - movement would really help us understand the shape better.

Cheers

Sweet.

If I find one, I'll be sure to mail it to you! :thumbsup

(just think it's even less likely I'll find it than you finding one :lol

Hi Thomas,

There is a swoop but the detailing on the back of this helmet (that to my knowledge hasn't been seen before) gives the impression there is no swoop.

Yep, Where's the beef...err swoop? The whole cap looks different from top to bottom...
