While many have posted nice HD screen grabs from the movie for reference, I'm very much interested in the behind the scenes photos that people have accumulated or grabbed from making of videos, or just photos of original Stormtrooper ANH armor/helmets. Let's post pics and discuss whatever you want about them. I'll start...

Very interesting, the difference in the neck seals (especially the trooper behind Leia).

Another nice thing about this photo is that establishes Stormtrooper Officers with: belt boxes, equestrian (instead of jack) boots, gloves, and slight jodhpur on the pants.

It depends on what you're used to and how long you'd be doing it. I've been fencing since high school, and don't really notice the weight -- but I probably have better-than-average grip strength by now. Also, for a few minutes between takes, I wouldn't have a problem. Not something I'd do to carry it for any distance, though. *heh*

The trooper you see pointing to the Falcon when being pulled into the Deathstar. Making of says something about that at this time ILM only had one of two suits that they had due to one being stolen, so they just placed Joe Johnston (trooper) in the matte shot there twice, so he looks like two troopers watching the Falcon enter the landing bay.

 

Note: Handplates on wrong hands.

I'm curious, is that Luke arm props at your home? Cause there's no way that helmet is a movie prop right?

Is that your helmet Kirk?

 

Nope, not mine, from a Lucasfilm Archive Exhibit...

 

The caption on the photo at Flickr says:

 

"From the Lucasfilm Archive Exhibit: an original stormtrooper helmet, plus the prosthesis Mark Hamill wore in Empire to simulate his hand replacement."

 

Maybe some experts can weigh in on the origins of it.

That photo is from the exhibit at Celebration IV. The text said, if I remember correctly, that the bucket was from ANH and was a Hero style bucket. Here is a pic of me comparing my bucket to the exibit:

I am about 95% sure about all that, but I reserve the right to be totally off.

That is so weird .. please enlighten me ..

 

All pictures of screen used helmets I've ever seen were missing pieces or with a lot of paint chips and paint runs. While this one looks almost flawless .. super nice paint job, ears cut to actually fit real nice etc ...

 

Am I on crack or this thing looks way too good?!?
