INTRODUCTION
Luke Skywalker dreamed of escaping the dry, barren desert world of Tatooine for a life of adventure. A chance encounter with two rebellious droids and an aged Jedi Knight led him on a mission to rescue a captive princess and earned him the reward of a commission in the Rebel Alliance.

Assigned the wing position of Red Five, Luke flew his starfighter in the battle of Yavin against the Empire's mightiest weapon, the dreaded Death Star.

After Gold group and then Red Leader failed in their attempts to target the vulnerable thermal exhaust port, the only known weakness of the panet-sized battle station, Luke began his attack run. Using all his skills as a bush pilot in Beggar's Canyon back home, and with the Force now as his ally, Luke maneuvered down the Death Star's trench, evading enemy fire and even Darth Vader, to deliver the final devastating blow.

Crafted from quality materials and using reference materials from the Lucasfilm archives, Master Replicas is proud to offer this faithful reproduction of this young hero's pilot helmet.
