Lot Essay

As with the Stormtrooper helmet in Lot 156, this one can be identifed to a specific scene in the film and was used for the sequences shot in Tunisia, as well as the sound stage at Elstree. This particular Stormtrooper, or Sandtrooper as they sometimes referred to, is the one who questions the informant Garinden, and orders his squad to Docking Bay 94 where they try and stop the Millennium Falcon from leaving Tatooine, he shouts ..."Stop that ship, blast him!", as Han Solo opens fire and makes good his escape.
