eFx Collectables is producing some very cool Lucas licensed Star Wars replicas. The above Darth Vader helmet is part of their Art of Star Wars series which is based on the work of the conceptual artists behind the original trilogy. The Vader mask is a more accurate representation of Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept art for A New Hope (see concept art below). The helmet is expected to be released in December 2008.

I never liked Darth Vader’s Helmet actually, but the helmet on the second picture looks awesome.

Ralph McQuarrie is the fucking man. That’s one of the other reasons why the new films sucked. He didn’t work on them.

I like this helmet better than the original. I agree, without Ralph McQuarrie you had a bunch of nothing. Star Wars wouldn’t have existed without this guy. His take on Boba Fett was better than what they finished with as well.

The more I see darker versions of Star Wars (video games, animated series, concept art), I’m beginning to think that all 6 films need to be re-shot.
