AT-AT Driver Helmets and Costumes


AT-AT / Walker Driver Helmets, Armor and Costumes
	SW Movies Character Appeared in - ESB
	Brief Prop and Costume History The AT-AT Driver's one and only appearance was in The Empire Strikes Back, although there were glimpses of what would have been its precursor in Revenge of the Sith CG-made several decades later in 2004. So for the production of ESB in 1979, the Costuming team/Art Department simply took two of the black TIE Pilot Helmets used in ANH and then sprayed them grey. Following the addition of a few unique parts, such as the side hangers and tusks a new character was born. Replicas: Seen as a peripheral Imperial character there have been limited opportunities for AT-AT fans to collect a 1:1 scale replica. From a licensed perspective only Altmann's made "Lucasfilm Approved" helmet - although unfortunately fans have been far less approving of what was a very inaccurate collectible. That has therefore left the way for some of the smaller "fan-made" providers to step in, with Laws' Archive version an extremely nice and accurate kit. Its possible that some of the newer Licensees such as E-FX, Sideshow or Museum Replicas may look at this character over the coming years. At least we can hope!
