OH like the imperial hat wasn't a dead horse.
Now the freelancer helmet on the other hand...

Personnaly i think its an art issue. If youll notice, the vast majority of helmets in this game are full helmets covering the face, and the ones that arent, only a few species can wear them.
Case in point, the Imperial Hat. How long did it take sony to get that right? And how many character models can acutally wear one? If a the "real" rebel helmet were introduced today, ill bet that it will only fit a male Human or zabrek.
It's not really an art issue, just a lazyness issue. 
Seriously though, yeah it's an art issue, but it's not some uber-hard one for them to solve. They have done plenty of open-faced helmets in the past. As I understand it, they have to make individual models and fit them to each species, and they obiously just don't want to put that extra work in.
But frankly, I still think they should add these helmets instead of such junk as the clone trooper suits of armor. It might be a whole lot more extra work to add the "open-faced" helmets to the game, but the game would be so much more "Star Warsy". *shrug*
/deadhorse
Infact, asking the developers for ANYTHING is a dead horse, or hatching out ideas such as, "wouldnt it be cool if...". its a deadhorse because they developers are just not with us. We can ask for, plead, beg, and hatch ideas all we want, wont make a damn bit of difference. For proof of this, all anyone has to do is look at the pilot forums issues/bug sticky posts, and realize 98% of it, has not been addressed, nor will be addressed anytime this year.. i ll bet you that.

Be that as it may, being quiet about it won't get it fixed either.
Aye, but nobody in this thread is looking for a fix--they're looking for an addition. Important difference.

As far as I'm concerned it's a fix. The Ace Helmet is wrong - they need tofix it.

I like the visor on the SWG one more, but thats just me. The original helmet should be for initiate or teir 2 or something.
I could live with having both, not asking to have the Ace one changed exactly, just the movie one added in addition to it. The old Endor helmet would be nice to have back too, especially if it could be used in place of that horrid Rebel Recon Helmet... but I'm going off topic. Both helmets should be there, the same way the Imperials get theirInitiate helmet and Ace helmet.
the swg rebel flight helmet is only kewl on us mon calz 
but i totally agree, we dont want something from top-gun
when i was a little toddler i could tell the distinct shape of the starwars helmets
but the devs cannot? 
are they starwars fans by any chance?
Anyway, im not holding my breath on either one.

What gets my goat more then the absence of the first rebel helmet is the crappy excuse for a flightsuit they give you.

Heheh, the Rebel Alliance in SWG issues spandex unitards instead of flightsuits!
