Jez Hill, Star Wars Helmets, special guest. This is the fourth ‘Prop Talk’ podcast, a new regular feature for the Original Prop Blog. This is an effort to use old and new technology to bring a richer and more informative and entertaining experience to the site. Jez has really provided a great service to fans with his study of helmets and masks used in the Star Wars films by researching and memorializing information on his “Star Wars Helmets” website for many years.
This article hosts the next in a regular ongoing series of full-length audio podcasts featuring one on one interviews with interesting people who participate in and/or affect the hobby of collecting and preserving original movie props, costumes, and other assets. The fourth guest of this program is Jez Hill of Star Wars Helmets.
