2 Question's original ANH Vader 'vanishing'

[HAL9000]

Thanks GH.

I guess 1980 would have been a good time to
whip the mask away as there would have been
the ESB masks by that time. So it wouldn't have
been the one and only.

And don't forget that the original costume was shot for the ESB promotional photos. I'm only guessing that was the last time the ANH suit was used for promo pics??? GH???

Well the suit in those pics is not the same one. The helmet is different, the chestbox is (painted) different, the belt buckle is different, gloves are different.

There were also ANH pieces used in some RotJ beach pictures... with Carrie Fisher, an Ewok and a Jabba pig guard.

Is the Disney/MGM backstage studio suit --- does it have ANY screen used pieces on it?
