Which ROTS helmet is that?

I'm not certain if they're screenused or not, but they are part of the ROTS exhibit displays.

I honestly don't know the story behind this exhibit mask. These "Reveal" masks are very elaborate, but it makes sense that they make more than one increase the screen-used breaks. Perhaps this is a production mask that was never used on-screen.

Structurally, it's going to be difficult to distinguish an exhibit mask from the screen-used since the screen-used had so little screen time. We'd have to rely on the colors of parts - like the mesh - to see if they conform to what we actually did get to see.

What I marvel about is how some of us study every detail on the original trilogy masks so painstakingly, and when it comes to ROTS, we're like "Whuh?" "Duh..." "Guh...!" :toothy

Nice work...ya this is from the "Where Science Meets Imagination" exhibit. It is the screen-used reveal helmet, of which there was only one.

Thanks for the info! Nice to know. Do you know how many were made?

Well the guy who made the helmets for ROTS told me that there was just the one pull for the hero helmet and then there would be this reveal helmet that was shown at the exhibit.
