Rehashed Star Wars Helms by ‘As You Wish Helmet Project'
Trenton Millar — August 11, 2012 — Social Good
An inventive and geeky charity project, the ‘As You Wish Helmet Project’ crafts rehashed Star Wars helms to auction off for charity. Each of the helmets is a re-imagining of either the Boba Fett helmet or the storm trooper helmet from the classic Star Wars movies. Each one is completely original and would make a handsome addition to any die-hard Star Wars fan’s collection of memorabilia.
The As You Wish Helmet Project begins auctioning off the helmets online on August 27th with auctions being hosted by eBay. Proceeds go to the Make A Wish Foundation. Over 40 different renditions of the Star Wars helms will be available to bid on. This charity auction should be irresistible for sci-fi fans—buy an object inspired by the most classic sci-fi film ever, and give a gift to charity.
