I have been under the impression that the helmet and armor was fixed up and later to become ESB Helmet and Armor?

But curious to know where the rest of it is.

This is a very old thread. A lot has happened since then and yes, it is very likely the screen used ANH helmet and armor was refurbished for ESB. The hunt is still on regarding actually finding the helmet in its current state.

So what is the story behind that face mask pictured ? I've never seen that photograph before.

Sorry to revive an old thread guys, having been out of the loop for a while but was it ever confirmed that the Vader mask in the objets du mythe book was in fact the original screen used mask?

Cheers,

Kris.

Hi Kris,

The overwhelming consensus is that, yes, it is the original mask. There is zero doubt in my mind anyway. To many details match up precisely for it to be anything else.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for the reply Dave.

Would be interesting to know how he got hold of this, not to mention his other acquisitions.
I’m really surprised that LFL would have let this go, and I’m assuming it was let go in the 80’s after it was finished with. But that would also be surprising given the height of popularity that Star Wars had reached by then. You would have thought LFL would have wanted to hang onto it given it’s importance, considering it was the very first Vader mask and Lucas kept a lot of other costumes one could argue were less important?

One last thing, was the helmet in question repainted? The paint scheme looks different to other a new hope images I’ve seen. Has more black areas like on the right tubes and left cheek?

Kris.
