At that time, the huge success of Star Wars had not been anticipated and, according to the vendor, the making of the costumes was very much a process of trial and error. To this end, with a frenetic deadline, they worked around the clock in their design studio from March - June, 1976 whilst filming was being carried out at Pinewood Studios. Star Wars Costume Designer, John Mollo, asked the vendor to work on the film after discovering that the vendor had the equipment needed to make the specialised vacuform plastic. This helmet was made by Shepperton Design Studios (set up by Andrew Ainsworth in 1974) the company responsible for the production of all the helmets and armour (with the exception of Darth Vader) used in Star Wars, 1977. He has voiced countless characters like Embo in Star Wars: Clone Wars, he has been everything from a Stormtrooper to a technician to an Imperial Officer on Star Wars Rebels, and as Bo Keevil in Star Wars Resistance.Original X-wing pilot helmet prototype from Star Wars: Episode IV A New HopeĪ prototype prop X-wing Fighter Pilot's helmet, the unfinished helmet of grey/brown vacu-formed plastic, with ridged top and sides and bolted-on mouthpiece section made for Star Wars in 1976.

But this is not the first time that Filoni has become a part of his films and series, especially his work under the Star Wars franchise, in ways other than being their executive producer, director, writer etc. Wolf and Carson appear once more, towards the end of the episode, doing something that goes completely against their jobs as starfighters and surprising Mando in the process.Īnd as for who plays Trapper Wolf, in case you haven't already recognized the very renowned face, it's The Mandalorian writer, producer and sometimes director Dave Filoni who is reprising his role as the New Republic's X-wing pilot from Season 1. The actor is known for his beloved character of Appa in the CBC Television show Kim's Convenience. It's Trapper Wolf who stops Mando's ship, Razor Crest, from moving forward in the Season 2 episode but this time, he is accompanied by a different, yet another familiar face- Paul Sun-Hyung Lee who plays the starfighter, Captain Carson Teva. The other two fighter pilots on either side of Trapper Wolf were played by Deborah Chow and Rick Famuyiwa- both of them had directed some of The Mandalorian Season 1's episodes. The three pilots who track the homing beacon, left behind by Mando, are Trapper Wolf, Jib Dodger, and Sash Ketter who destroy the gunship before strafing the space station. In Season 1, "The Prisoner," Din Djarin aides in on a daring prison escape, following which his temporary companions try to double-cross only for Mando to one-up them and sets the New Republic's X-wing starfighters on their tails. What happens next is for you to find out yourself but not before you take a glance back at the two fighter pilots as one of them has appeared in The Mandalorian before. But enroute, the Razor Crest is flanked by two X-wing ships, under the New Republic, who enquire about his trip and as the two fighter pilots get updated about Mando's latest heroics as well as past "missions," they attempt to apprehend him. The Mandalorian Season 2 "The Passenger" sees Mando travelling to another planet with Baby Yoda and an alien companion with a precious cargo of her own that need the bounty hunter to travel at sublight speed.
