For the moment Im just scavenging parts and trinkets for a new episode III reveal helmet project, and Im really stuck on what to do with the neckbrace.
The episode III reveal mask for the movie had only 6 splitplugs and barely anything else, while the episode V - VI neckbrace had 8 splitplugs and lots of other parts on there.
So, Imagine this, the episode IV helmet is in reality just a two piece helmet with no parts, but in "Movie world" its meant to be a four part reveal helmet with all sorts of parts and devices. The chestboxes are just some black boxes with nothing more than lights inside, but in "Movie world" again, they are meant to be parts of a mobile life support system...
So if you see where Im going with this, my question is:
The episode III reveal prop had only 6 splitplugs, and all you get to see in the movie are the 4 splitplugs at the side. The episode V - VI neckbraces were fully revealed and had lots and lots of parts on them...
And having in mind the differences between real world and movie world, did the episode III neckbrace have less parts just because there were no point in making a really neat looking neckbrace when all you see is..nothing by the side splitplugs, but does in movie world have all the same parts as the other neckbraces?
Or is this the way it is meant to be in "Movie world" being an early stage of the neckbrace with less parts?
And notice in real life, the reveal mask has a black block with wires sticking out of it, wrapped together with a piece of green tape, but in "Movie world" that aint even there.
So, tell me all your opinions - Early stage neckbrace or less parts due to no visibillity of the neckbrace in the first place?
