The official Celebration VI site just posted an announcement for the “As You Wish” charity art helmet project, which will present scores of artist-designed Boba Fett and Stormtrooper helmets to be auctioned off online after the show.
Art Andrews from The Dented Helmet costuming group, and Chris Romines from the 501st Legion are heading up the effort with support from eFx.
“Some of the artists involved in this project include Joe Johnston (the original designer/painter for Boba Fett and the director of Captain America); Weta Workshop (New Zealand FX Studio: Lord of the Rings and District 9); and Jim Lee (DC Comic Artist),” says Andrews.
Check out the full announcement at the CVI site and get updates on the project at Facebook.

Good afternoon,
A slight correction; The SW CVI As You Wish charity helmet project will feature Fett and CLONE TROOPER (phase I) helmets (donated by eFX.) A few artists from the TK project of 2010 who missed the CV deadline may also be contributing Stormtrooper buckets to this year’s auction.
I am currently working on one of the Clone Trooper helmets for the project;
