14 Iconic Pieces of Star Wars Head Gear To Carry Your Blue Milk In

November 07, 2022

If there is one thing the multiple aliens, androids, robots and force ghosts of the Star Wars universe understand it's safety. You won't catch any bounty hunter getting a concussion, and even the most powerful and feared sith don't leave home without their custom made headgear. Perhaps this society in a galaxy far, far away learned their lesson from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy injuries in Death Ball or whatever they played a long time ago, or they just have a flare for fashion and helmets are their version of handbags and if you're caught with last season's style you get shunned by the Gorlacks or whatever.

If The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett taught us anything, it’s that all you need to make an impression is a badass helmet. Star Wars has it wealth of iconic headgear, from sith masks to cyborg headgear and beyond. Here are some of our favorite brain buckets from across the galaxy.

Lobot's Construct

CRACKED LOBOT'S AJ^6 CYBORG CONSTRUCT An assistant to Lando Calrissian, Lobot's famous cybernetic headgear (earmuffs, maybe?) was one of the most fascinating parts of Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back. Lobot originally had lines, but the filmmakers decided to keep him mute to maintain the mystique. — CBR

13

Classic Stormtrooper

CRACKED STORMTROOPER HELMET Nothing beats the classic stormtrooper helmet, which made its grimacing debut in the opening minutes of A New Hope. It's inspired countless other sci-fi headgear, but was also the inspiration for Apple's headphones, according to the verge. — The verge

Star Wars

CRACKED REBEL PILOT HELMET This helmet, like much of the aesthetics of the Rebel Alliance in the original trilogy, are heavily inspired by the Allied service members of World War II. The cramped cockpits and baggy flight suits seen in the films are a direct homage to Allied fighter pilots. — Smithsonian Mag / Star Wars

11

Tusken Raider

CRACKED TUSKEN RAIDER MASK The cloth mask and robes worn by Tattooin's bantha-riding Tuskens were inspired by the Bedouin and Arab nomadic cultures of the Middle East. — Forbes

10

Darth Revan

CRACKED --UNTIL THE MANDALORIANS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED ONCE AND FOR ALL. SO SWEARS... REVAN! WE BEGAN WITH NOTHING BUT A LEADER AND A PURPOSE -- DARTH REVAN'S MASK A fan favorite Sith Lord who first appeared in BioWare's Knights of the Old Republic video games, Darth Revan notably sported a mandalorian mask, which he found while still a jedi fighting in the mandalorian wars. Considering how interested Star Wars has been in the mandalorian side of the lore, an appearance by the beloved sith might not be far off. — Source

9

Rebel Fleet

CRACKED REBEL FLEET TROOPER HELMET If A New Hope and Rogue One taught us anything, it's to not expect anyone wearing this helmet to last very long. Fleet troopers were tasked with defending Rebel vessels from boarding parties, a task they often failed. — CinemaBlend / Rebel Legion

8

Pyke Syndicate

CRACKED PYKE SYNDICATE HELMET The insectoid criminal gang, which made its debut in The Clone Wars TV series, were the main baddies of The Book of Boba Fett. Their exaggerated animated designs were streamlined into the boxy helmet seen in their live action appearances. — ScreenRant / Looper

7

First Order Trooper

CRACKED FIRST ORDER STORMTROOPER HELMET Disney's take on the trooper helmet is a cleaner upgrade of the original Stormtrooper scowl. The look of the First Order's foot soldiers was reportedly inspired by Apple products which, ironically, were inspired by the original Stormtrooper designs. As George Lucas once said It's like poetry, they rhyme. — Sideshow / Star Wars

6

Scout Trooper

CRACKED LA SCOUT TROOPER HELMET These stormtroopers were tasked with reconnaissance, infiltration and, when the situation called for, ramming their speeder bikes into trees at full speed. Hinges on the sides of the helmet allow the front visor to be lifted up. — Star Wars

5

Clone Trooper Phase II

CRACKED PHASE II CLONE TROOPER HELMET This helmet marks the Galactic Republic's transition into the Galactic Empire by blending elements of the Phase 1 Clone Trooper Helmet and the Imperial Stormtrooper helmet. In universe, Phase II armor was more comfortable and offered better protection than its predecessor. — CBR

4

Clone Troopers

CRACKED PHASE I CLONE TROOPER HELMET When the clones made their screen debut in Attack of Clones, audiences knew exactly what the white-armor clad soldiers had in store for the jedi. Their armor was inspired by that of Jango Fett's, who was used as the clone template. — CBR

3

Leia's Disguise

CRACKED LEIA'S BOUSHH HELMET The helmet and armor Leia uses to sneak into Jabba's palace originally belonged to the bounty hunter Boushh. Leia acquired the armor after the Ubese bounty hunter was knocked unconscious in a skirmish. — ScreenRant / Star Wars

2

Darth Vader

CRACKED DARTH VADER'S HELMET Like much of the original trilogy's aesthetics, Darth Vader was designed by legendary artist Ralph McQuarrie from a concept by George Lucas. Lucas was inspired partially by the armor worn by Japanese samurai for Vader. — ScreenRant

1

Boba Fett

CRACKED BOBA FETT'S HELMET Designers Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie were originally tasked with creating the costume for a new type of imperial trooper. Due to budget constraints, the trooper idea was scrapped. Not wanting to ditch the design, the costume was reworked for a new character called Boba Fett. — Star Wars
