Fett Helmet History

[bobamatt]

Oh, ok.

I get it now!

...Finally! Lol!

Thanks everyone!

 

[Wildabeast]

Truly awesome.

 

[Murphoid]

Very, very cool! Really makes a guy wonder where that lost PrePro1 has gotten to.

 

[MandalorFett]

Great work and thanks for sharing this amazing info.

Very, very cool! Really makes a guy wonder where that lost PrePro1 has gotten to.

I wonder that quite a bit... Did it become the ESB or PP3? Those are the only helmets it could have become because we know that it existed at the same time as the RotJ, Sandy, and PP2. If it did become the ESB or PP3, then there is another helmet out there that we don't know about and haven't seen. It it didn't (and I suspect it didn't and is still the "ears" helmet to this day), I really wonder where it is. The sad truth is, we just have no clue.

AHH HA!!!..I have always thought that.... good stuff.

Awesome work on the Fett family tree Art! Maybe I can send the high res file to my brother (501st member) in Illinois who works as a printer and he can make a few sample posters for us to review.

An absolutely STUNNING lineage & map of Fett helmet history Braks!!! Thank you so much for posting this up....hard to believe all this from one thread on the RPF so many years ago.

Again, thanks bud

Now this finally clears up a whole lot of mis-understanding for me. thanks

 

[Banzai88]

Yes--Art--thanks for compiling this into an easy to follow graphic. Very interesting history.

 

[Vable Boba]

Thanks a lot man. I may now be doing a PP3 instead of the PP2, since it's basically the same thing, with the ESB style paint job on the bucket. AWESOME!!

 

[Art Andrews]

Fact of the matter is, the PP3 is the nicer of the two. I don't know if that is because the ESB took so much damage from handling (and now apparently) being recast, or what, but the PP3 is immaculate and probably one of the BEST preserved helmets.

I am really hoping with a little more info and some comparisons, we can change where your helmet lies and can erase those question marks. At the moment, I tend to think it is most likely a casting of a stunt, but there is also the distint possibility that it is from the same molds as the stunts. Either way, super exciting stuff as we had never really even looked into the history of the stunts until your helmet came along. You made it possible for us to finally nail that whole section of the "family tree" down!

 

[Rogue Studios]

I feel the same. Also thanks for putting this together folks.

Quote:

You know what I have never understood. I hear it called 'cat eyes' all the time on the helmet. And to me, its not 'cat eyes' its 'eagle eyes'

The eyes are eagle shaped, and with the red on the helmet, looks exactly like a beak.

Just thought id throw that out there

 

[DL44 Blaster]

I couldn't agree more Lee....considering the early art for the left shoulder bell clearly depicted a bird skull, I would think that the helmet also was intended along those lines of a "bird of prey"........

 

[Jangos kid]

Ditto on the bird of prey stuff!!!!

Yeah, that history guide is really friggin cool!!!!! Thanx everybody that contributed, and thanx Braks for posting it!!

[Scoutleader]

What a neat read

To think it all started from 6 ,20+ years ago and how many thousands of helmets are out there.
As anyone done research on the history of Jangos helmet and design????
Was there any different "looks"/color scheme for his armor?
Thank you again for all the hard work in putting this history together.

 

[SharkForge]

Wow! Thats so cool! I really enjoyed reading that and seeing how the helms changed and what not. Thanks a lot guys for putting that together, that really helps me out! Does anyone know why some versions are wider than others???

Hey Art,

The "Ye Olde Prop Rumor Mill" urban legend is that the Jango bucket was cast/scanned from a Boba Helmet in the archives.

If true, where would the Jango helmet fit in the helmet lineage? Any leads on which helmet spawned it?

Thanks,
OSK
