Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet - Battle Stations Soldier !

By Ledley Withenshaw

Most People know about Star Wars. It's been going since George Lucas put out the first (err...fourth chronologically speaking) movie in'77. That's 32 years ago ! And the story/mythology seems to be going from strength to strength as new movies, books, cartoon, TV series and video games come out. It makes you wonder who thinks up all these stories and if they have to get some kind of approval from Lucas before they are accepted.

All that can be said is that the creators of Star Wars have done a pretty good job. A reasonably new part of the Star Wars merchandise that will appeal to kids is the Clone Trooper Voice changer helmet. This is essentially a role playing helmet for children to act out their favorite scenes from the Star Wars movies or TV series. Or they can create their own adventures.

The clone trooper helmet toy is an accurate reproduction of the helmets worn by the troopers in the Star Wars movies and the TV series about the Clone wars.

The clone wars were basically the start of the end for the republic and the creation of the empire under Palpatine. It was probably the most significant event in the history of the Star Wars galaxy (that we know about anyway). It foreshadowed the systematic destruction of the influential Jedi Knights and allowed the Sith take control of the empire. Things would never be the same until an insignificant young moisture farmer from Tatooine blows up a not so insignificant Death Star (and discovers a few family home truths along the way).

Clones were mass produced based on the DNA of the mercenary/bounty hunter Jango Fett. For children interested in role playing in these clone wars as an imperial stormtrooper, there are a few different types of helmet.

The standard helmet is an all white affair, with a shaded visor. In terms of voice changing, it modulates the wearers voice to make it sound clone like, metallic or robotic with a bit of static before or after the voice (picture a clone speaking in the movies). There are also many standard phrases in authentic clone voices that can be emitted from the helmet by pushing a few buttons.

Kids will love to put the helmet on and pretend to by attacking Count Dooku or some other villain. Or maybe they can pretend to do Darth Vader's bidding and destroy the Jedis. Let their imagination run wild.

There are other types of helmets that have slight modifications to the original helmet. Notably the 501st clone trooper legion is a crack unit of stormtroopers. Their helmets have a slightly different shape and a blue trim to them. They utter different phrases too. Captain Rex was a famous commander in the Legion and sported a red trimmed helmet.
