Jango fett armor material?

[jetpackman]

Hey I was rewatching scenes from Aotc and was wondering if anyone was aware of what material was used for Jangos armor in the kamino fight scene. I'm asking because when watching closely jangos armor seems to be very flexible and actually bends. If anyone has any idea what was used it would be very much appreciated if you could let me know Thanks

That is the stunt suit. The hero armor is cold cast fiberglass. The stunt suit is probably some type of foam so that it didn't hurt the actor. There are many stunt parts including a stunt jet pack that does not have all the detail of the regular pack.

I know the scene your talking about. I was thinking it may be Lexan the same stuff RC Car bodies are made out of (the ones you see in hobby shops). It's easy to vacuum form and can be painted from the inside for a clean smooth metal like appearance. It's very flexible and unless heated or bent at a very sharp angle will spring back to it's original shape. I actually made my first back piece out of this stuff it worked great but not a very good quality probably because I hand formed it due to not having a mold to vacuum from plus I didn't know what the heck I was doing at that time. (still better than Rubies armor). If I can find it I'll post a pic and show how it flexes (I may have thrown it out though).

I believe this is the scene you are talking about.

Unfortunately I threw out that back piece that I made. But I did find a large flat sheet of .042" thick Lexan that I had in my garage. These pics will show how flexible it is without heating it (It can be formed just like Sintra but is much more flexible).
