What if it shifted colors like a mood ring?
Okay, I gave it a shot.
In this edit, the cracks are a dull silver, to match the rest of the helmet, then when he gets pissed off they flare red:
That’s a lot cooler than I expected!
Could you do one where they’re just black? If not, no stress. I hate the return of the helmet. The film wastes valuable screen time showing it be re-formed without any context, besides an f-u to Rian Jonson. The audience can just assume he made a new one or repaired it between films. Currently, years after destroying it, he just decides to get a monkey to fix it?
Also, JJ’s obsession with adding random bits of red to everything infuriates me. 3PO’s arm, the tie fighter, the training remote, Rens helmet.
