Honestly, the whole set-up and idea for the clones is one of my favorite aspects of the prequels. Intertwining the history of the Fetts into the stormtroopers was a fascinating move on Lucas' part, and besides the odd nature of lil' baby Boba, I think it worked out well. My favorite element of AOTC for sure. And the designs are also really nice.

Ryan In the movies. And clone helmets look better than stormies any way.

I'm disappointed, Greedo. Ainsworth did NOT make the helmets. He pulled the plastic, nothing more. Brian Muir and Liz Moore created the sculpt and molds.

I always found Stormtrooper helmets really interesting. They never seemed like other typical henchman uniforms, but just because of the helmet, the rest is relatively normal, but the helmet was really what stood out. It's so unique. And I'd love to get my hands on one.

Liz Moore (RIP) is responsible for designing and sculpting the original Stormtrooper helmet in "A New Hope", not Andrew Ainsworth. She tragically died shortly after "A New Hope" was finished filming, leading many to believe it was Ainsworth that sculpted the helmet, but he indeed did not. Although he did very slightly rework Liz Moore's design which is seen next to George Lucas in this video, that's Liz Moore's very own design and sculpture of the helmet in the photo. Ainsworth's shop did manufacturer the screen used Stormtrooper costumes in the film, but he is only responsible for sculpting the Stormtrooper body armor, not the helmet. All credit for the original Stormtrooper helmet should have always gone to the late great Liz Moore!

Im sick of this Liz Moore BS, it seems the fact she dies tragically people are crediting her with stuff she didnt do. She did not design the stormtrooper helmet, Ralph McQuarrie did, the concept, the design is his work, not Moores. So she did not "design" the helmet. Yes, she sculpted "a" helmet - the famous workshop photo with Lucas. But as the actually producer who vac formed the armour, AA made the moulds, then the helmets - so neither did she sculpt the helmet. Her 3D visualization in clay is just that, the step between the concept (McQuarrie) and production (AA) but Moore herself had zero input into either the concept or the vac forming/mould making.

Great channel, but as mentioned below, Liz Moore (RIP) is the one that sculpted the helmet and deserves that credit for its iconic design.

Christopher Williams i think when he says he sculpted it, he means he sculpted the helmet to that it could be brought to life and buildable. For instance he would have to re-mould the liz moore sculpt into 2 pieces so that it could be made and assembled with what little they had at the time

He never molded the helmet though. The plasterers at elstree studios did that. (They took on most if not all the prop making devision) They didnt have their vacuumformer working so they sent it to a local vacuum forming store to do it. Andrew has made multiple lies and even twisted his own story. At first he said he only had a small image given to him, painted by ralph to sculpt the helmet Then when more info got out, he retracted that and said nick infact sculpted the helmet and that he was close friends with nick, and made the majority of the sculpt when he made the moulds, which is also incorrect. He pulled the plastic and did some patch ups to the buck as it got destroyed because of his lack of experience with thermal plastics damaging the plaster mold. That’s it. He doesn’t have the original molds. They’ve been destroyed for ages due to the nature of the mould (Plaster) His current molds are actually recasts of fan-made/pulled helmets. Most notably AP.

NO SPOILERS I just saw Rogue One and holy shit I've never been more amazed!!! A genuinely breathtaking movie that I'm not sure anyone could dislike. It does such a great job of standing alone and setting up A New Hope. Also, I've never seen a movie with more easter eggs 😁 So yeah, 10/10, 5* etc. etc., look forward to release day everyone!! I've still got 4 tickets for 2 showings!!!! P.S. I tried not to use too many exclamation marks

The stormtrooper helmet wars designed by the late Liz Moore. The armor wars designed by Brian Muir. Andrew Ainsworth had no input on that design what so ever. He did the vaccu forming. That's it.

Actually they only sculpted them, ralph mcquarrie designed everything. However i think its fair to say that everyone involved in the production deserves credit as they all added something to the final result of the design, even ainsworth added a few personal details that contribute to the final result.

Learned more here than I did in grade school.

This entire video should be considered "Legends" material, as Aintworth made almost all of it up. Liz Moore sculpted the helmet, and Brian Muir sculpted the armor. Aintworth vacuum formed it. That was the extent of his involvement. Go to more than one source for research, rather than cribbing a thief's account of things.

Fun Fact: ABS plastic is the same plastic used to make LEGO bricks and pieces. So when you play around with a Lego Stormtrooper. You're technically playing with a tiny Stormtrooper costume.

I love the diversity of videos Hellogreedo presents !

I'm always appreciative of movie magic, and I absolutely love how the props for the OT were made! So I definitely hope to see more of these videos. You should do one about the Graflex Lightsaber soon.

Commenting this before I finish the video, to test my knowledge of Stormtrooper helmets: ANH Empire Stormtroopers had long, gray mouth grilles. ANH "Hero" (Luke and Han's disguises) had short, gray mouth grilles. ESB was the same as the ANH, and ROTJ Troopers had black mouth grilles.

In Rogue One the helmets look too clean and perfect.

Just went and saw rouge one.. I freaking loved it! You will not be disappointed I can assure you!

I really love the stormtrooper helmet design and the one from Rogue one is really me favourit one. It's the final evolution of a design that we all love it's perfectly symmetrical and the details are perfect. It's really what they would ressemble if stormtroopers really existed

This is actually pretty cool!

Hmm. Maybe you should do the First Order helmets next, HelloGreedo! And nice video!

I love you HelloGreedo :)

What happened to Liz Moore and Brian Muir???

love STAR WARS. it's The best one to me. I am super excited about rogue one.

I always loved the wonkiest of storm trooper helmets in the films, each one never really felt like the other, as if each trooper had a helmet specially made just for them.

There's a certain irony to talking about Stormtrooper helmets while wearing one.

I still find it kind of funny that the Storm troopers all seem to have a permanently irritated look molded into their helmets.

Hello greedo love Your vids keep up the good work😝🐢

Maybe do a video about Clone trooper helmets Phase 1 and Phase 2 Even if they are Just CGI in the films.

Please Do a history of the stormtrooper variations like Biker Scouts and Snowtroopers

I was too excited when I saw this in my feed

My favorite is still the Scout Trooper helmet.

HelloGreedo, could you do a video about TIE Pilot helmets?

I love all the helmets but my personal favorites are the phase 2 clone troopers

I prefer the streamlined version of the First Order Stormtrooper helmets, but I do agree that the original helmets have a unique quality to them.

Didn't Ralph McQuarry illustrate the first stormtrooper in his early concept paintings. I believe George asked him to add some "Technology" to a painting he'd done of the cantina scene....so he painted a air conditioning unit and an "armoured police man"....then he did a painting of a stormtrooper holding a light saber on the death star

Greedo I've been curious how you record your voice for each video? Do you have a rough recording of what you saying to the camera and then make a fresh voice recording / overdub? Using the high quality mic I saw by your PC when you did a review on the Rouge One add on for Star wars Battlefront. The reason why I ask is I would have thought it would be difficult to get a clean recording of your voice with your helmet on? Finally, where did you buy your helmet from? Regards from Oxford, England.

What are the differences in the body Armour in the three original films, if any? I'm glad I found this video. I was told on the forum that there are differences in helmets and Armour in the original trilogy, but not what. Now I know the differences in the helmets, at least. Thanks!

I always preferred the ANH helmets, the raised brow just looks better. Lore-wise, it looks like the helmets are manufactured by many different companies across the galaxy to supply the Empire's huge forces, hence the armor's cosmetic inconsistency.

Like the rest of you, I love Star Wars. I have always been a fan since childhood. There has been a question that I never had a chance to ask. What makes a real Star Wars fan? A lot of fans, like yourselves, hate the prequels, and the Special Editions. This is where our differences come in. I have to be honest. I like the prequels, and I don't mind most of the Special Edition changes. Despite a few problems for both, there isn't enough for me to dislike them. The way I see it, Star Wars is Star Wars no matter what. My favorite in the Saga is *not* the obvious one, that being *"The Empire Strikes Back."* That title goes to *"Return of the Jedi."* I know that the majority of Star Wars fans are on the more negative side of these topics, but what category of "fan" am I part of? I was always silent about my opinion for Star Wars. I'm constantly worried that other people (whether they are in person, or online) will accuse me of not being a *"true"* Star Wars fan. I'm literally falling apart with this problem, and I don't know what to do as a someone surrounded by more traditional fans. You are so awesome, that it would mean the world to me if you can shed some light on this situation.

First of all, I want to thank you this video as many others, since I love them. Second, just a question, did they made Darth Vader's costume the same way as they did the stormtroopers' armor?

Hello my helmet is a battle spec screen accurate helmet from Andrew ainsworth design, I had to put alot of foam in my helmet because of the ears inside , can I ask the Helmet,s have to be hand painted why is that, is that it has to be screen accurate

did Ralph Mc Quarrie not have anything to do with the making of the helmets? also am I correct in saying the rest of the armour was made using vacuum moulding?

My question is to you when you're doing videos do you have a recording Microphone within your helmet to pick up your voice or do you do a voiceover after you were record the video I'm just curious?

i admire the stormtrooper helmet and the stormtroopers themselves but to me the Phase 1 Clone trooper helmet are my favorite. the amoral t-visor segments the clone ascetic to me. the strormtrooper helmet kinda makes the stormtroopers a little more evil that how they are used. the clone trooper helmet to me makes the clones seem more human that the stormtroopers that they ever could. which is ironic since most of the stormtroopers are normal humans (except for the 501st legion all of the clones were decommissioned like a few years before the battle of Yavin). Not saying the stormtrooper helmet is bad it's just that i prefer the clone trooper helmet more. also i do like the contrast of the clones in the prequels being all clones of Jango Fett but feeling more human and striving to be more of an individual than the stormtroopers who have a previous identity
