WORLDWIDE EDITION SIZE: 400 ARTIST PROOFS: 15 Genetically engineered on the storm drenched world of Kamino, the first generations of clone trooper were grown from genetic material taken from the skilled bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Identical in form, physical prowess, stamina and mental capacity, each clone trooper was fully encased in hard white armor, their identical faces concealed behind a t-shaped visor. The discovery of their secret existence came as the Confederacy of Independent Systems were gearing for war, and as such the clone army was desperately needed to protect the sanctity and stability of the Republic. The Supreme Chancellor was granted emergency powers, and as his first act, he activated the clone troopers as the grand army of the Republic. Far superior to the battle droid armies of the era, clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's military initiative against the Separatist forces, so much so that the wars they fought in came to be named after them. • Recreated from digital files supplied by the Lucasfilm Archives • Fiberglass construction • Fully padded interior • LED reflector in fin* • Smoked T-shaped visor • Display Stand • Matt and weathered finish with unique Clone Captain rank coloring. • Numbered Plaque with Plaque Stand • Certificate of Authenticity • Worldwide Edition Size - 400 *Requires 2 AAA (LR03) batteries - not supplied When Attack of the Clones was in pre-production George Lucas took the bold decision to have all of the clone troopers seen in the movie created in ILM’s computers. This afforded greater flexibility while shooting, limiting the arduous, time-consuming task of co-ordinating and directing hundreds of expensive extras in take after take. It also allowed more creativity and control over the clone trooper shots. So, for the first time ever on a Star Wars film, the Empire’s nascent foot soldiers never actually existed as physical, three dimensional helmets or costumes. Instead they were created entirely within the confines of the ILM hard drives. To denote the different ranks within the Clone army, different colored helmet paint treatments and details were added to distinguish ranking officers from the foot soldiers. In Attack of the Clones the deep color red denotes the rank of Captain. Using digital files supplied by the Lucasfilm Archives, our engineers created an exact 3-D model of the “digital” clone trooper helmet, which we output as a SLA (Stereolithography) model and sent to our factory in China. This was used as the mold master for all of the production helmets ensuring that all of the Clones would look the same. |
