Guys,
not sure if this is out in the USofA but I did a real
cartoon double-take in the bookshop last night
when I noticed that Rinzler's "Making of SW" book
is now out in a Paperback Novel size format!

I did the due dilligence of having a look inside, and whist all the text seems ported straight from the Big
hardback - there are definitely a handful of photos
that aren't in the hardback.

One that reall stands out is a nice sharp clear B/W shot of Prowse with the helmet off standing 3/4 to the camera and you get a real nice view of shoulders,
chest armour and box.

Anyway - go have a peek.

I hope you did the right thing and bought it, and you're probably putting it on the scanner as I type this, you're a good man :lol

Here's the cover, I think?

I noticed the OT helmet they used.

This is interesting. The Vader helmet that LFL/Hasbro uses for promoting their Vader toys is based on ROTJ. This is different. DarthvaderV, what do you think? Maybe they used something fanmade?
