VeVe and Lucasfilm Unveil AR Trooper Helmets Digital Collectibles for Star Wars™ May the 4th Campaign

In celebration of the iconic May the 4thStar Wars™ fan holiday, VeVe is proud to announce the release of the Star Wars™: Trooper Helmets 3D digital collectible series, created in close collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. This latest drop offers fans an immersive and visually impressive look at the armor of the Empire’s elite forces, delivered in Augmented Reality (AR)

From classic Stormtroopers to rare variants like the Shadow Trooper, Mimban Trooper, and Crimson Stormtrooper, each helmet in the series tells a deeper story of combat, survival, and legacy in the Star Wars galaxy. But what makes this collection truly unique is that fans can take a look inside a stormtrooper helmet. These highly detailed digital collectibles don’t just showcase the iconic exterior design; they offer a view into the interior of Imperial armor, revealing the inner workings of the gear that defines the might of the Galactic Empire. It’s a completely way to experience the legacy of these iconic characters.

"Our goal was to bring storytelling into every detail," said Dan Crothers, COO and Co-founder at VeVe. "Each helmet was designed not just as a visual artifact, but as a narrative piece—battle-scarred, weathered, and rich with lore. And with AR, we’ve given fans the chance to bring those stories into their worlds in the most immersive way possible."

This collaboration represents a landmark moment in the fusion of digital collecting, immersive technology, and beloved storytelling. Working alongside Lucasfilm, VeVe’s creative and 3D modeling teams meticulously crafted every texture, shadow, and effect, from blaster grazes and claw gouges to lightsaber damage and animated cross-sections.

"Lucasfilm has been an extraordinary creative partner throughout this process," added Crothers. "Their commitment to authenticity, design integrity, and fan experience elevated every stage of production."

Each collectible in the Trooper Helmets series is fully viewable in augmented reality via the VeVe app. Collectors can explore every angle, scale and place the helmets in real-world environments, and capture photo and video content to share across social media—making these digital pieces as immersive as they are iconic.

Featured Trooper Helmets:

• Stormtrooper Helmet (Standard, Blasted, Gouged, Cut, Cross Section)
• Shadow Trooper Helmet
• Mimban Trooper Helmet
• Crimson Stormtrooper Helmet
• Night Trooper Helmet
• Stabbed Helmet (with Darth Vader’s lightsaber still piercing the armor)

Each item in the drop offers a unique narrative—from the ominous scorch marks of Sith weaponry to the haunting gold-repaired fractures of the Night Trooper’s mask. The Night Trooper Helmet in particular stands out, not just for its eerie aesthetic, but for its deeper story. These troopers are, in fact, undead soldiers, reanimated through dark forces, which explains the fragmented, cracked armor repaired with streaks of gold. The result is a chilling visual that blends decay and elegance—an embodiment of death and duty.

Available on VeVe

The Star Wars™: Trooper Helmets digital collectible series will be available through the VeVe app, available on iOS, Android, and web.

This drop continues VeVe’s mission to expand the possibilities of digital collecting, blending world-class storytelling with next-generation AR experiences.
