Rebel Pilot and Trooper Helmets, Armor and Costumes
 

  

SW Movies Character Appeared in - ANH, ESB, RotJ  
Brief Prop and Costume History:
Based around the design of a real-life US Pilots helmet, the rebel X/Y-Wing fighter pilots used in ANH were fabricated by Shepperton Design Studios in London, then sent to Elstree for painting and detailing. The helmets were subsequently used for ESB and RotJ although its possible some new helmets were also produced. The Rebel Fleet Trooper helmets were derivatives of a couple of the Imperial Helmets (Gunner and Imp Fleet) using some of the same swoops and curves- again these were produced by Ainsworth at Shepperton Design Studios.

For RotJ new Y, B and A-Wing designs were created by Nilo Rodis-Jamero - including the full-face Y-Wing helmet, which encompassed the entire head

Replicas:

Several fan-made/non-licensed helmets have been produced including Shepperton Design Studios and Richies Armor. From 2018, RS Prop Masters started to produce a great range of completed/painted X-Wing helmets including Luke, Biggs and Wedge.
