Clone Trooper Helmet - Are You Ready To Be A Member Of Vader's Finest ?

By Ledley Withenshaw

Most people have heard about Star Wars in some way. It's been going since George Lucas put out the first (err...fourth chronologically speaking) movie in'77. That's 32 years ago ! And the stories seem to be getting more and more embellished as new movies, TV series, games and books get released each year. I wonder who makes up all these stories and whether they have to be sanctioned by Lucas before hand.

All that can be said is that the creators of Star Wars have done pretty well for themselves. A fairly new piece of gear that ties in with the Star Wars tales is the Clone Trooper Voice changer helmet. This is essentially a role playing helmet for children to act out their favorite scenes from the Star Wars movies or TV series. Or they can come up with their own adventures.

The clone trooper helmet toy is an accurate reproduction of the helmets worn by the troopers in the Star Wars movies and the TV series about the Clone wars.

The clone wars were basically the start of the end for the republic and the creation of the empire under Palpatine. It was probably the most significant event in the history of the Star Wars galaxy (that we know about anyway). It heralded the destruction of the legendary and influential Jedi Knights and saw the Sith take control of the empire. Things would never be the same until an insignificant young moisture farmer from Tatooine blows up a not so insignificant Death Star (and discovers a few family home truths along the way).

Clones were used to fight in the clone wars after they had been secretly produced from the DNA of mercenary Jango Fett. For kids mad to role play the clone wars with their friends as a Republican stormtrooper, there are a few different types of helmet.

The standard helmet is an all white affair, with a shaded visor. In terms of voice changing, the helmet modulates the wearers voice so that it sounds like the clones you hear in the movies/TV series. There are also many standard phrases in authentic clone voices that can be emitted from the helmet by pushing a few buttons.

Kids will love to put the helmet on and pretend to by attacking Count Dooku or some other villain. Or maybe they can pretend to do Darth Vader's bidding and destroy the Jedis. Let their imagination go into overdrive.

There are other types of helmets that have slight modifications to the original helmet. Notably the 501st Legion clone trooper is a crack, top of the line stormtrooper. Their helmets have a slightly different shape and a blue trim to them. They utter different phrases too. Captain Rex was a leader of the 501 st legion and he wore a red trimmed helmet.
