The Legacy of the Helmet

Darth Vader’s helmet is one of the most iconic symbols of villainy in cinematic history, designed based on concept sketches by Ralph McQuarrie. While it is unknown how many helmets were created for the production of Star Wars: A New Hope, archival evidence suggests only one helmet was used during filming.

At the end of production in England, the complete Vader costume, including the helmet, was sent to the USA, where Rick Baker cast new molds for the 1977 promotional tour costumes. These molds became the foundation for the master patterns used by EFX, giving this replica a direct lineage to the original screen-used helmet.
