eFX: Luke Skywalker ANH X-Wing
Pilot Helmet:
"In Star Wars Episode IV: A New
Hope, Luke Skywalker was assigned the wing position of Red Five and flew his
X-wing starfighter in the Battle of Yavin against the Empire's mightiest weapon,
the dreaded Death Star. Using all his skills as a bush pilot in Beggar's Canyon
on Tatooine, and with the Force now as his ally, Luke maneuvered down the Death
Star's trench, evading enemy fire and even Darth Vader, to deliver the final
devastating blow and became an unlikely hero of the Rebellion.
The original helmet was made from an APH-6B Vietnam era flight helmet used by
the US Navy, circa 1969. This helmet included the dual visor cover. A ridge was
also added over the top from front to back. The helmet was then cast in halves
to make the master pattern and the X-wing pilot helmets were then vacuum formed
from these patterns. Upon assembly, a strip of ABS was added to hide the parting
line of the two halves.
The microphone is from a Racal Minilite headset. This is the same headset that
Luke and Han wore when fighting the TIE Fighters in their escape from the Death
Star.
The eFX X-wing pilot helmet is a faithful recreation of the iconic helmet that
Luke Skywalker wore in the exciting Death Star trench run in the epic battle of
Yavin. Utilizing a digital scan of an original X-wing helmet in the Lucasfilm
archive and an actual APH-6B helmet, castings of an original visor and chin cup,
eFX’s engineers, model-makers and artists painstakingly constructed the master
patterns to produce this prop replica."
