Update: Additional Images of Christie’s Withdrawn “Prototype” Star Wars Stormtrooper Helmet

Christies-Withdrawn-Prototype-Stormtrooper-Helmet-Prop-Star-Wars-A-New-Hope-Andrew-Ainsworth-Auction-Movie-Prop-Questions-Update-x380

This is an update to the article published on Monday (see “Christie’s Withdraws “Prototype” Star Wars Stormtrooper Prop Helmet with Andrew Ainsworth Provenance from Upcoming Auction“).  As mentioned in that prior article, unfortunately, no images were provided of the sides and back of the helmet.  A friend in the UK previewed the upcoming Christie’s auction, and took photos of the “prototype” Storwtrooper prop helmet, which has since been withdrawn from their sale (#5446).  These additional images are important, in that the single image provided in the online lot description/catalog only included one “straight on” style image which did not show whether the lower, back side of the helmet had the “ribbed” decoration (a detail that most other “prototypes” have shared).

Christies-Withdrawn-Prototype-Stormtrooper-Helmet-Prop-Star-Wars-A-New-Hope-Andrew-Ainsworth-Auction-Movie-Prop-Questions-x380

Today Christie’s has withdrawn Lot 136 from their upcoming Sale #5446, a prop attributed to Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and described as a “prototype Imperial Stormtrooper’s helmet“.   There has been ongoing public debate and controversy over movie prop Stormtrooper helmets trading for sale in the marketplace for years, and some of this debate and discussion intersected the legal battles between Lucasfilm and Andrew Ainsworth.  In the auction description, Andrew Ainsworth was named as the source of provenance for the prop withdrawn from the current Christie’s sale.
