I had heard about these helmets! For fight and action sequences in low light, special Vader helmets were constructed that utilized tinted transparent faces so the stuntman had freer range of vision when being all stunty. One sold at an auction not long ago, but I had only seen one picture that was included in the auction catalog, so seeing this was exciting! There was also Hayden Christensen's Darth Vader costume from Episode III, and while it was nice to see, I would have liked to have seen David Prowse's massive (and original) costume instead.
