The Emperor (Ian McDiarmid) always traveled with his elite protectors, the Royal Guard, whose signature red robes and helmets added color to scenes in the film that would be very stark without them. This helmet is made out of two pieces of vacuum-formed ABS plastic with a semi-transparent red urethane visor adhered to the inside, two strips on the neck for securing to the wearer's cape, and a loose, adjustable black nylon strap. The helmet is made in several parts that are joined and seamed, and the entire helmet is painted a specific shade of "candy apple" red. It is in good overall condition with minimal wear from handling and age, including scuffing throughout. Dimensions: 14" x 14" x 13" (35.56 cm x 35.56 cm x 33.02 cm) Estimate: $15,000 - 20,000
