This special first-release edition celebrates the work of Brian Ian Muir, one of the most influential sculptors in film history.
With a career spanning nearly five decades, Brian began his journey as a sculptor at Elstree Film Studios at just 16 years old. His exceptional talent soon led to prestigious commissions, including work for the Crown Court and the London Stock Exchange.
In 1976, Brian returned to Elstree Studios and helped shape cinema history. His creations included the iconic Darth Vader helmet, the original Stormtrooper armour, the Death Star Droid, and finishing work on C-3PO.
Now, for the first time, his signature appears on Base Invader, a 4.2% Pilsner limited-edition collector's beer from The Empire Beer Company. Combining legendary design heritage with great beer, this inaugural release is a must-have for collectors, film fans, and craft beer enthusiasts alike.
