Cadger Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) While browsing through some old photos I found the ones I took at the Magic of myth (I think) display in Helsinki 2000. This seems to be ROTJ. But I'm not quite sure if this is completely canon... And it is put together kinda sloppy. E.g. the thermal detonater on the side.

Toddo[TK] Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I always like seeing those. Thanks for sharing. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Nice find, why the long face LOL Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 ah... tour suit... ROTJ but in another life became the TE suit! modded to heck! Quote
troopermaster Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Nice pics! I remember seeing this suit at the Barbican Art Exhibition in London, mid 2000. Quote
Cadger Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 I was wrong about the exhibit. It was named "the Art of Star Wars". We visited Finland in late 2001.So Troopermaster saw it first. :-) Quote
bjsavage7[TK] Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Awesome pics. Yeah, the TK wasn't the only costume that was sloppily thrown together for these displays. We have the same thrown-together Imperial Officer exhibit to thank for everybody originally thinking open collars & chalk holders appeared in a Star Wars movie. Just like this exhibit led people to believe that rivets were OK to secure shoulder bridges. lol. Quote
troopermaster Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 I believe the rivets were added after ROTJ was filmed. The movie suits had vac formed ABS shoulder straps that were velcro'd on and probably got lost easily, so they were changed to these vinyl type straps and riveted for security. Quote
troopermaster Posted February 22, 2014 Report Posted February 22, 2014 I also saw this suit about a year later when the Art of Star Wars exhibition was in Bradford close to where I live. It was not displayed in as good a position as it was at the Barbican Museum where I could see around 3/4 of the whole suit. Quote
Cadger Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I had a photo of the back side, and two more also: Edited June 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote

bjsavage7[TK] Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Yep, that's the display with the "not screen-used" code cylinders. At least the collar looks in tact on this one. Quote
Toddo[TK] Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks for posting the officer photo. That shows the color nicely. Quote
