THE MYSTERY OF WHO MADE THE STORMTROOPER HELMET, George Lucas Sued the Creator of the Stormtrooper

In this video, I go over the time George Lucas sued Andrew Ainsworth over the selling of screen accurate star wars stormtrooper helmets. However, are these helmets truly screen accurate, and is Andrew Ainsworth even the person who created the original stormtrooper helmet?

Been rooting for the Imps since ol' 77...
I only recently realized the buckets are supposed to be skulls.

Dude, you're alive!

I've always loved the swooping curviness that the Stormtrooper helmets and armor have. It seems like they are the culmination of retro-futurism aesthetics brought to their fullest potential. You'd expect sci-fi bad guys to have very angular armor like we see constantly these days. And although many bad guy uniforms that follow the prevailing contemporary aesthetic language are cool, they just don't spark the imagination juices in my brain the way that Stormtrooper armor does. There's just something whimsical about it.
I'm curious to know if anyone else feels this way. Some other designs that embody that whimsical Star Wars design language are imperial guard helmets and rebel helmets. I would love to see you do a deep dive into the history of the design of either of these!

Horribly underrated video!
Love this channel

Thank you!

Great video! Perhaps I shouldn't be saying this, but it's so weird this video has so few views.

This is a confused version of events

What Ainsworth is selling is not close to authentic in any way. It’s a pretty bad knock-off in both the helmet and the suit itself. I know because i purchased one and it was bad. Another company based in the UK RS Propmasters do have an exact replica.

Your history of the stormtrooper is off. Talk to Brian Muir

[@vstar7196]

Liz Moore and Brian Muir designed the original Stormtrooper helmet. And Moore was the artist that sculpted it and the C3P0 helmet. Don’t believe me? Google “Liz Moore” and see for yourself. Ainsworth’s involvement was he had a vacuum form machine and could mass produce helmets for the film. But he was never involved in the creative process. Ainsworth is a fraud.
