Ripley’sMay the Fourth be with you.✨ Made for Anthony Daniels to be worn in the Empire Strikes Back, this injection-molded plastic C-3PO head was too small for him to actually wear! Daniels had complained about the weight and discomfort of the original fiberglass head used in the first film and had approved this new model, but unfortunately no one foresaw the plastic shrinking during the molding process. The head was used for close-ups and special effects shots throughout the film, and is now considered one of the best preserved of several C-3PO heads used in the films. @bretta #Ripleys #BION #RipleysBelieveItorNot #maythefourth #starwarsday
