Stormtrooper

Hi everyone, As promised, here are some pics of an original ROTJ Stormtrooepr costume: The helmet is a background studio helmet which was used for the Death Star II docking bay scenes, filmed at Elstree studios back in 1982. There are 2 other known 'background studio ROTJ' helmets in private collections here in the Uk. Costume is 90% complete, only missing the forearms and handguards - replicas here provided by GINO Having some fun hunting Ewoks *** Standard Disclaimer - this is NOT currently at my house, so no uninvited houseguests please! *** Cheers, John

Sure, I'll post some pics in a new thread, in the ROTJ Stormtroopers section tomorrow (kinda late here) Cheers, John

I don't want to take the thread off-topic everyone, but I have to respond to this. I'm speechless... I have never spoken to you on the phone Matt - either *your* memory is shot, or you are deliberately lying. I've exchanged emails with hundreds of people in the 'replica prop world' over the years but only ever spoken to about 10 or 12 in person or on the phone... so I think I would've remembered. And I'm a bit young for senile dementia at 31 years old! Sorry everyone for the derailment... this thread has the potential for some interesting facts behind the whole movie-cast Stormtrooper armour biz... so long as the info provided is objective and factual. Cheers, John

Matt, I have never spoken to you... either in person or on the telephone. You made several offers for the costume via email. I have had the costume verified by several well-informed members of the screenused prop-collecting community, so I'm comfortable that the costume is an original ROTJ Stormtrooper costume which was likely used for filming at Elstree studios back in 1982, so Matt's opinion is irrelevant to me. Matt - I will ask you only once... stop posting your opinion of my original Stormtrooper costume on public forums. Thank you. John
