Here's a sneak peek at the helmet that Alex Alva created for the project at The New Wookiee Workshop with assistance from Philip Wise. You can see more submissions on the As You Wish
Facebook page, or check out Dave Myatt's
photo gallery from SDCC.
The
As You Wish Project is a charity art event featuring reimagined Boba Fett and Clone Trooper helmets which will be exhibited at
Star Wars: Celebration VI and then sold on eBay with all proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
This project is sponsored by The Dented Helmet, eFX Collectibles and the 501st.

Star Wars: Celebration VI: They will be displaying all of the helmets in the Dented Helmet booth / As You wish Exhibit at
Star Wars: Celebration VI in Orlando, FL between August 23-26, 2012.
The Auction:After the exhibit at Star Wars: Celebration VI, they will be handing the helmets over to the Make-A-Wish Foundation who will be auctioning the helmets off, early in Sept 2012 on eBay. As soon as they have a confirmed date for the start of the auction, we will post it here.
The Money:100% of the proceeds from this project are going to Make-A-Wish. In fact, they will never even touch any money as Make-A-Wish will handle the auctioning of the helmets themselves, so the money will go directly to them and never pass through their hands.
