I remember watching a behind-the-scenes-type show on Star Wars years ago where they dissected and said what everything inside Vader’s helmet did, but this was the first time I’ve ever seen it in person. Looks like a complicated process, huh? I wish this had been an interactive display that showed what every gear and pulley does, but it was still a neat display.
Notice that the insides of the helmet looks surprisingly like hard drive plate-heads.
No wonder Vader’s so evil. That thing looks freakishly uncomfortable! lol
Vader uses his lightsaber as a cane in the big picture :|
what an awesome exhibit, i really enjoyed it.
Thats right Hagai, inside de mask there are over the nose spot a complete Hard Drive head including the electromagnetic coil, and in the sides over the eyes and cheeks also there are just the tip of the HD heads, I notice them back when the show the first Teasers of the Revenge of the Sith.
This exhibit was in Brooklyn in 2002. Here are more shots…
