Enfys Nest's helmet

OnACanonArticle

Enfys Nest's helmet[4] was a helmet worn by Enfys Nest, leader of the Cloud-Riders.[1] It was passed down to her by her mother who had previously led the group.[2] The helmet was inscribed with a poem, "Until we reach the last edge, the last opening, the last star, and can go no higher."[1] The inscription used an Aurebesh-like script.[3]

Behind the scenes

Early iterations of Enfys Nest's inscribed battle helmet were inspired by a dolphin skull which was lacquered in black and red by Japanese artists and then decorated in gold powder, while the chrome eyepiece of the helmet was inspired in the mirrored aviator sunglasses worn by Boss "The Man with No Eyes" Godfrey in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke. The helmet went through many prototype designs, with these designs ultimately being used for members of the Cloud-Riders.[5]

In 2019, when Glyn Dillon, a costume designer of Rogue One and Solo, was asked about the alternate font on Twitter, he revealed that it has been developed at the request of director Gareth Edwards, for the film Rogue One, and was re-used for Enfys Nest's helmet in Solo, and said the script had been named "Dishabesh."[6]

They were designed by the art dept graphics team. I was able to use them in any designs that needed text. Dishabesh just seemed to suit Enfys more than the others." (backup link) (screenshot)
