The ID-9 has six buttons inside (you lift off part of the top of the droid) so you can record phrases or sounds that play when you press the matching button on the wrist device. This replicates what Seventh Sister’s ID-9 did when it recorded Ezra and replayed it later. Also, when you lift off the panel there is a dial post that you can rotate to change the pitch of its “voice” to very high or very deep, so it can sound more droid like or more true to what you record. The droid is relatively secure when you wear it so long as you don’t make extreme movements or turn your face into it and knock it off (I did that once).

@StarWarsCollected5 ай бұрын
Nice opinion. You can't ignore the unnecessary battery panel on the back and how it could have been hidden, or eliminated. I think the market for these Black Series helmets is mostly collectors looking for display pieces, so I think appearance should come before play features. I don't think accidentally snapping the chin strap in backwards when trying to shoot a video invalidates those points.

@StarWarsCollected5 ай бұрын
I looked up whether that paint scheme was carried over into Kenobi, and it looks like at least some element of the multi-tone was part of production used helmet. The original reason for the variations was for filming purposes, to give it contrast, but I've always been a little unclear as to whether his helmet is multi-tone in-universe. Seems like that tends to disappear when depicted in art where a more idealized version tends to be used.
