British SAS Testing “Boba Fett” Style Helmets

According to the Daily Mirror, the British SAS are testing a "Star Wars" styled bullet proof helmet. SAS stands for "Special Air Service". It is a corps of elite soldiers within the British Special Forces Command and are most often compared to the American Navy SEALs. It's an imperfect, but sufficient, analogy for our purposes, except the SAS is much better. Whereas the SEALs say "bro", the SAS says "go on then". You can see how the latter is much preferred.

The Daily Mirror goes on to say:

A Star Wars-style helmet that detects enemies and repels flames and bullets is being used by the SAS in the war against terror.

Elite troops have dubbed the futuristic piece of kit the “Boba Fett helmet” after the Star Wars bounty hunter, who wore a very similar-looking one.

"Kit". See, I told you they are better. Now, of course Star Wars fans will quickly notice that the helmet bares zero resemblance to Boba Fett's distinctive t-visor helmet. It's actually much closer Snake Eye's helmet from G.I. Joe. But don't hold that against these SAS nerds. They're just trying to be cool like us Star Wars fans.
