Everyone knows that when Mars Mashall released his Darth Vader with bobble-head variation, everyone was thinking "Dark Helmet!" And what Star Wars fan isn't familiar with the infamous Dark Helmet? I'll admit I only saw Spaceballs once... but that's still once. While the bobble-headed nature of the model is what really makes this skin work, the skinning changes are significant in making it not simply look like a bobble-headed Darth Vader.
Some very simple but important changes have been made here to make the skin look like it should. Firstly, the helmet has been changed. Dark Helmet's helmet is significantly different from Darth Vaders. To make it look stupid, I guess, because we wouldn't want him to look like a serious villain. Instead, the somewhat pinched look of the helmet is recreated here. Also the torso and legs have been changed to be more accurate to Dark Helmet. To complete the skin, custom sounds have also been included, in addition to bot support, npc support, and team skins. Definitely worth a download for Spaceballs fans.

*************************** JEDI KNIGHT ACADEMY MODIFICATION *************************** Title :Dark Helmet Modeling :Mars Marshall "NeoMarz1" Skin :Gabriel Canderous E-Mail :[email protected] File Size :1.4 mb Date Released :04/03/2007 Description: 'All rise in the presence of Dark Helmet'. For those of you who don't know Lord Dark Helmet (Rik Moranis) is one of the characters from Mel Brooks' 80s spoof movie: Spaceballs, which lampoons films and shows such as Star Wars and Star Trek. Dark Helmet (Darth Vader) and is in command of the Spaceballs' (Empire) starship: Spaceballs 1. He answers to only President Skrewb (Palpatine) and uses the Down Side of the Schwartz.He despises the mighty Yoghurt (Yoda) and kidnaps Princess Vesper (Leia) and holds her to ransom and threatens to have her nose job reversed unless her father King Rowland gives up the combination to the airlock of planet Druidia. With the combination to the airlock, the Spaceballs can suck all the fresh air from Druidia (the Spaceballs home planet has used all theirs). Spaceballs is one of my favourite spoof movies and I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't already seen it: it is a great movie with some hilarious gags and lampoons the film we all love with obvious affection. ******************************READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING*************************************** Installation: Put the Dark_Helmet.pk3 into the "StarWars JediKnight Jedi Academy/GameData/basefolder". D'UH! Team Support:yes Bot Support: Yes NPC Support: yes Sounds: Yes... but I downloaded them from a fan site, so unfortunately they aren't the best quality. BUGS: None that I know of. The only thing that bothered me is that Dark Helmet is supposed to have a flat front to his helmet (it's only a visor), but the face of this model/skin still has the shape of Vader's helmet. *********** Legal Stuff *********** THIS MODIFICATION IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY ACTIVISION, RAVEN, OR LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LLC.
