The Princess Leia helmet might be the strangest Lego Star Wars helmet to release so far – but in a way, that makes us like it even more.
Unlike Darth Vader’s helmet or Boba Fett’s, it’s not an immediately iconic design: it’s simply a disguise worn by Princess Leia in a particular sequence in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi – when she’s infiltrating Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Because of that, it may be more likely to only appeal to die-hard Star Wars fans. Don’t be put off if you don’t instantly recognize the Boushh helmet, though: this is a fantastic build that you’ll have a great time putting together.
What instantly stands out about the Princes Leia Helmet is that standard Lego helmet construction has gone out of the window. If you’ve built several of these before, you’ll be used to a pretty formulaic process: build a basic square for the head, attach it to the base, then build around it. Not here. It seems that Lego has put a lot of work in to ensure its helmets are more varied and interesting builds, and it really shows in the Lego Star Wars Princess Leia Helmet.
Affixing the stand is actually one of the last stages of constructing the helmet. It caused a little concern that it wouldn’t be as structurally sound as other Lego helmets, where the helmet is builtthe stand. It isn’t an issue, however: the helmet and stand connect together very well, and there are no concerns at all on the model’s stability.
