- James Hannon (TI-6799) of the NorthEast Remnant Garrison (and Jolly Roger Squadron Detachment) of the 501st Legion shows you how to put on an ANH TIE Pilot costume. I agree its not the most complicated costume out there, but the NER and I are putting out a series of these videos, and we're starting with the ones that are easy to film.... Other costume videos in the series show how to put on Sandtrooper and Biker Scout costumes.. For more information: 501st Legion - 501st.com NorthEast Garrison (NJ division of the 501st) - 501stner.com Jolly Roger Squadron Detachment (TIE Pilots) - www.jrsdetachment501st.org/
Updated with CZcams safe music. Dont buy Public Domain collections kids, they aren't always telling the truth about who owns what!
I'm becoming a tie pilot soon, I'm in New Jersey
Frank very cool - did you connect with the NER yet?
Awesome. I think I like this more than the Stormtrooper. Think I'll be getting this outfit.
The Stormtrooper is great, but never underestimate the benefits of sitting while in costume :)
That is the truth! I have a sandtrooper kit and I cant wait to receive my tie pilot kit. Much more comfortable .
Wow how cool is that a tie pilot pretty cool
TI 7386 (RET) Abran Coval fine armor trooper. Well done
me watching this vid with my 3d printed imperial special forces/tie pilot helmet on trynna figure out how to make my eva chest armor more comfortable and allow for downwards head movement
So how did you get the armor parts
Ignore what I’m saying this is just for where I left off
0:55
Which TIE fighter do you pilot, Standard TIE, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, TIE Defender, or something more exotic (like TIE Prowler/Striker) or experimental (like TIE Advance)?
I'm a staff officer for the Ohio Garrison, recently began putting together my build for the TIE pilot. This is proving to be real helpful, thanks!
Though I have a question- I see some chest plates kind of curve upward at the bottom rim while some are more flat. Are both designs ok for 501st use?
-ID 11201
Glad to be of service! Hmmm that question is a little above my knowledge (it’s been a few years since I did this costume) - have you talked to the jolly Roger folk?
@@JamesHannonAuthor Not yet but that's a good idea lol. I actually just started my TIE yesterday to celebrate my one year of being a 501st member
Maroth Gravois Definitely - the JRS folks really know the TIE costume and the up to date specs for it! And congrats on your anniversary - the TIE is my favorite star wars costume - love to tease the TKs by being able to sit comfortably lol
@@JamesHannonAuthor Thanks! I've actually trooped as a TK prior to joining. Can agree sitting is a pain lol. So going to look forward to being more flexible in armor!
@@MarothGravois My first costume was a TK - I remember armor bites in inconvenient places LOL Once I went to the TI, trooping became a lot more comfortable!
Is the belt pouch for the chatter box custom made or something I may be able to find on line?
It was something I had lying around the house from years earlier - forgot where it came from - probably another costume..
Hello
Are the helmet and chestbox/-armor RS Propmasters or different maker? If RS, it was a great choice. They do amazing stuff for a decent price and offer a great service. Andrea is always answering in short time.
Nope, it was a Dan Laws helmet/chestbox modded by Targ.. After 150+ troops with it, its still going strong
Hi James, great suit! Do you know anyone else that does work on the chestbox for the electronics and fans like Tarq did?
thank you - I personally don’t but have you found the “501st legion Jolly Roger squadron” group on Facebook? Or one of the other jrs groups? They would be a good place that should have current info”
@@JamesHannonAuthor thanks, yes. Been on the boards looking for guidance but haven’t been able to find anyone doing that kind of work so far. I’ll keep looking. Thanks for your reply.
Hi
It’s like it was filmed in 2007
Hi james what size are the gears on the side of the chest piece could you possible give me the dimensions, please.
Hi Jelly, i don't have the chestbox nearby right now, but according to the 501st Jolly Roger page (the experts on the matter), heres what they should be:
"What is pictured here is what is left of the “M.O.M” (Magic of Movies) display. However it does clearly show the two gray gears with approximately 20 teeth and a diameter of 1 7/8ths inch on each of the bottom “donut” sections and hoses and proper dimensions of the TIE Pilot chest box."

TY for taking the time to provide me with the information you had.
Hello James my name is Kevin are you the tie pilot from the A NEW HOPE film
Does anyone know why some TIE Pilot helmets have grey stripes and some don't?
Easy answer - personal preference - they are called Widows Tears and some TIEs have em in the movies
Well I just got approved TI-81172
Thats great - congratulations!!!!
@@JamesHannonAuthor thank you sir
@@Darktoast20 can kids get in, I'm just wondering?
@@lukehiorns2972 if I'm not mistaken there is a kid divison.
@@Darktoast20 thank you, im a real big star wars fan, but I don't know what stuff to buy, because I want it to look realistic, not like any cheap Disney costume!
Did you make the armor pieces armor yourself
Sorry I repeated armor two time
Can you lmk where you got the magnets and how you installed them?
Hi Paul, I had Targ from Targworx do them back when I first got the chest box
@@JamesHannonAuthor thank you sir! Talked to him this morning and ordered up some magnets
@@Paul-gl6xc glad things worked out!
Where did you buy the costume?
From various places - most of whom are no longer making the items... There are plenty of newer vendors tho... Check out your local chapter (garrison) website of the 501st Legion and talk to the people there. They'll gladly help you... Find your local chapter by going to www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php
I'm about to get mine from rspropmasters.com they have just about all suits you would want
Are underarmor Balaclavas allowed?
Absolutely - Been wearing one for 8+ years
As long as it covers your neck and exposed areas without visible logos

I've just got the tie pilot costume I'm almost ready for my approval photos. By the way the costume is a 3 in 1 not a 2 in 1.
Tie pilot.
Reserve tie pilot.
Imperial crewman.
When the original video was posted, the Reserve Pilot wasn't officially approved yet (and I honestly thought it never would be since its pretty much the same as the IC)
I'm now IC, TI 18070 approved 6/5/19
Very cool - congrats!
We’re Did you get the chess box🤔
I got it from the same maker where I got the helmet... sadly he is not in business anymore
I will be joining your ranks....
Just have to send in my pictures to Sebastian....
Woooooooi congrats
