A First Order stormtrooper helmet from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. First Order stormtroopers wore their helmets throughout the film, now under the command of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), given the fleet on the condition that he find and kill Rey (Daisy Ridley).

 

The appearance of First Order stormtroopers in The Rise of Skywalker was heavily influenced by the design of the original trilogy's Imperial stormtroopers and differs slightly from the uniform seen in The Force Awakens, after aspects of the helmet were modified to produce a more threatening appearance. Changes include the shape of the nose ridge, a thinner mouth, and added 'teeth' detailing.

 

The main body of the helmet is cast in polyurethane, a denser and more battle-appropriate material than the vacuum-formed ABS plastic used to make the original stormtrooper helmets, which were prone to cracking and breakages through use. Multiple vents run down both sides, and the left side of the helmet displays a fitted metal aerator. Clips feature on the dome of the helmet, and several parts of the piece are finished in black, including the acrylic bubble lenses fitted in the eye recesses, the brow line, the mesh grill on the mouth, and the prominent teeth detailing. The inside of the helmet displays several pieces of foam that have been adhered for comfort during wear.

 

The clips are nonfunctional, and the helmet exhibits glue residue on the inside of the aerator. Dimensions: 12.25" x 12" x 11.5" (31 cm x 30 cm x 31 cm)

 

Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
