darth vader History & Costumes

One of the most feared screen villains and Lords of the Sith alike, Darth Vader has cut a menacing swath through many a Jedi knight and Rebel Force in a galaxy far, far away. For those who lean towards the Dark Side, you can costume yourself as the tormented and eventually redeemed Darth Vader.

In a variety of sizes to fit kids and adults, there are even more options to choose from should you elect to turn to the Dark Side of the Force this Halloween and costume yourself as Lord Vader. Not only in a range of sizes, there are several different styles as well.

For the hardcore fan for whom money is no object, the Supreme Collector's Edition Darth Vader Costume retails for approximately $800. You get what you pay for, however, and this costume is close to the cinematic wardrobe quality of the Darth Vader from George Lucas' trilogies. Truly an awe-inspiring costume or a great gift for a die-hard star wars fan.

Fear not if your Force budget doesn't allow for major purchases and costuming commitments of that caliber! The inexpensively priced Deluxe Darth Vader costume is highly detailed and of tremendous quality. Fully equipped with a one-piece black jumpsuit, belt, and chest piece instrumental in creating Darth Vader's "respirator" that allowed him to live, also included in this costume kit is the Sith Lord's trailing black cape, boot tops, and of course, Vader's infamous mask that concealed his hideously scarred visage of the man who was once anakin skywalker.

No star wars costume is complete without a lightsaber to accessorize with. Choose from a variety of colors including red, blue, green. Each lightsaber actually lights up with the Power of the Force or 3 AA batteries and the blade retracts and extends into the handgrip. Truly a necessity for any aspiring Jedi or their costume! (Batteries not included). Recommended for Vader's costume is the red saber.
