Could be old news, but I've not seen it posted before. It's new to me. Props and costumes end up in the strangest places (just ask Gus Lopez)
In this 1977 interview on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Hamill talks about the popularity of "Star Wars" as it was then known. The interesting part to me starts at the 2:07 point.
So now we know where one of the original SW helmets ended up. I couldn't tell if Hamill is saying they SHOWED a ST bucket to Amy while they were visiting the White House, or if the GAVE her one to keep?! I'd go for the latter.... at that time, there was no reason for LF to keep the bucket, and giving one to the President's daughter would be seen as an amazing gesture.
...wonder if Amy Carter still has the bucket? Can you imagine how much it would be worth?
