Re: Original stormtrooper suit auctioned at Christies
It's a shame the owner removed the tape from each pieces which were annotated with specific film titles....as well as adding velcro and so on.

It should have been left untouched inmo.

Re: Original stormtrooper suit auctioned at Christies
Same here, sounds a little bit like the ESB helmet with Star Wars patch on the back to me...
Thanks for sharing this picture as i wasn´t able to save Christies´s pictures.
Is this the only publicly available picture of the suit?

Could you explain what you mean?

I don't understand which 'tape' or 'velcro' you are talking about

No probs.

As far as I know yes, but Jez /starwarshelmets must have a ton of other pics I assume.

Here is a super blury one of the owner and is friend trying the suits in 1993.

Well from what I can make out in the blurry pic is that it features the ANH cover strip hiding the join unlike the left shin with ROTJ style one side overlapping the other.

Re: Original stormtrooper suit auctioned at Christies
Take a closer look. They are both assembled in the same manner with the overlap rather than butt joined.

Re: Original stormtrooper suit auctioned at Christies
Great pics. Thanks for showing these. I am hoping we get to see a bit more of these items and hear more of the back story.

I would love to see more of the helmet pictured as well.

Cheers Chris
