9493 X-Wing: Luke's Helmet Isn't the Right One ...

Rest assured, I'm not crying scandal, as usual ...

I was quietly surfing the internet, looking for some interesting info, and I came across a revelation: What if Luke's minifigure helmet in the set 9493 X-Wing Starfighter was not the correct one?

Or rather if it was in fact one of the countless helmets used in the filming of the saga ...

If you are a Star Wars fundamentalist or just like to educate yourself on everything related to this universe, you owe it to yourself to go to this link.

You will discover, with descriptions and detailed analyzes, everything about the different helmets used by Mark Hamill during the filming of the first two films of the Original Trilogy.

I also can't resist the urge to give you a photo of Jek Porkins alias Red 6 at the controls of his T-65 X-Wing Starfighter, this hero of the Rebellion accompanied by his droid Astromech R5-D8 (in the background on the picture).

The photos of the minifigs are those of Huw millington (Brickset) posted on his flickr gallery.
