Presented here is screen-worn Stormtrooper helmet from ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’. Production-made and featured in the film, this iconic helmet was crafted from cast white vinyl, taking its cues from the original Star Wars ‘A New Hope’ from 1977.

 

‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ is a thrilling stand-alone film set in the Star Wars universe, bridging the gap between the prequel trilogy and the original ‘A New Hope’. The movie follows a group of unlikely heroes, led by Jyn Erso, who embark on a daring mission to steal the plans for the Empire’s superweapon, the Death Star. Unlike other films in the saga, ‘Rogue One’ explores the gritty reality of war, showcasing the sacrifices made by ordinary people for the greater good. With its stunning visuals, memorable characters, and high-stakes storyline, ‘Rogue One’ delivers a powerful tale of hope and rebellion.

 

The interior features foam padding for comfort, along with a black webbing strap to secure the helmet during filming. This helmet is a direct link to the fearsome soldiers of the Empire, prominently seen throughout ‘Rogue One’, especially aboard Darth Vader’s dreaded Death Star. This is an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and fans alike to own a genuine piece of cinema history.

 

The helmet exhibits minor production wear but is in very good to fine condition.

 

We have thoroughly verified the authenticity of this Rogue One Stormtrooper helmet by consulting with three highly respected collectors in the field. Interested parties will be provided with detailed information from these experts. Additionally, the interior padding, soft materials used for wearer protection, and a specific sticker are all consistent with other known authentic examples.
