Brief Prop and Costume History
Designed by Nilo Rodis-Jamero for Return of the Jedi in
1981/82, the Biker/Scout Trooper Armor and Helmets were made from ABS plastic which
was vacuum-formed, assembled, filled and painted. For the production of the costumes, they
were both designed, manufactured and assembled by ILM staff in California.

Replicas:
There have been some excellent Licensed Biker Scout replicas made over the
years, with the Altmanns ABS Helmet leading the field - although the more
commonplace Don Post vinyl helmet still serves as a good start point for
costumers. EFX is releasing two versions of these in late 2014, the
weathered uber-accurate "Legend Edition" in ABS plastic as well as an an
additional "Limited Edition" version in Fiberglass
A number of fan-made vendors have also produced quality
helmets in both ABS and Fiberglass - with some offering full armour as
well. We'll be adding more to this area in due course. |
