Anyone know why the 8D8 prop from ROTJ was repainted?

[QUOTE="Joe, post: 349359, member: 440"] This is something I should probably know but not being very into this side of Star Wars I rarely read up on anything related to the design/costumes and prop related stuff. This is what he looked like in ROTJ: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BPnX9ZaCMAAPmDx.jpg[/img] [img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080315224934/starwars/images/3/3e/8D8_btm.jpg[/img] You can see the brown/red pattern on the torso was only on one side. Yet the Star Wars wiki page thing has this image: [img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080922121454/starwars/ja/images/9/92/8d8.jpg[/img] If you look closely though you can still see the original shape of the symbol underneath the paint on the left side. The prop that was used in the identities exhibition seems to be the same as the one above but seems to have been repainted/restored at some point: [img]http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/469208971-the-costume-of-character-8d8-from-the-star-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QfQcTd7wkXmlPZnbJBnm5A7bYLmrZMCXvb1qisY1Jh0R5%2FRc0%2BU88DH4vp6q4CTikg%3D%3D[/img] So as per the title of this thread, does anyone know why (and when) he got a repaint that deviated from his original look? I haven't been able to find many pictures of him post ROTJ outside of this one: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3iLXhJIUAAt6eW.jpg[/img] However, you really can't see much of him or his paint scheme in that picture :( Perhaps it's been discussed somewhere on RS or appears in a book - appreciate any info or help!
