NOOOOOOOO!  Trans-red.  I must be trans-red if it is done like the Boba Fett

Uh... I've seen the costume.  Up close.  Had my picture taken with it.
The "visors" are black.  The Magic of the Myth... it was awesome, I suggest
you see it.  If the heads are made trans red it might look ok, but it'll be
better (IMO) if the heads are black.

Huh?
Every scene in ESB and ROTJ has the visors as Trans-red.  The 50 US$ helment
for sale at Halloween has a trans-red visor.  I just looked it up the the
Star Wars: Behind the Magic CD-Rom and all the pics show trans-red visors. The
only thing I have ever seen give the Royal Gaurd a black visor was the Kenner
action figure and it looks awful IMO. I would rather see it as it is in the
movie, with Trans-red.

Where have you seen the costume with a black visor?  I mentally picture that
and it looks totally wrong to me.

(...) The "visors" are black in ROTJ... as for ESB, the Royal Guards aren't in the original, they might be in SE, I dunno 'cause I haven't watched it much.
