Stormtrooper ANH hero helmet spotted in ROTJ?

[Stormie1977]

Has anyone ever noticed this trooper in ROTJ? It’s right after the Super Star Destroyer goes down. Is there a chance this is reused footage from ANH?

100% stock footage from ANH

Interesting...at least from a canon perspective it means that different helmet types were in use during the time of ROTJ.

That footage from the Death Star in ROTJ was re-used footage filmed in 1976 for ANH. The only Stormtrooper helmets being used during ROTJ were the known ROTJ helmet style, not the older ANH style.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but why the change in style? The ROTJ helmets look kind of like cheap toys.

IIRC worn out armor, they had to recast and resculpt their own stuff to get more Armors.
