DARTH VADER

This is my costume as it appears today. All the armor pieces were painted using the VaderPainter process. I use a CyberAmps voice modifier that has breathing and light saber effect built in. I use two original Heiland Syncronars for my lightsaber. One is nonfunctional, the other I modified with a PlasmaBlade to light up like a lightsaber. For more details on my costume go to my FAQ page.

Hi Robert, This is one of the most emotional pieces I've ever done, it was a hard piece to complete and if it wasn't for your excellent costume reference my idea for the composition wouldn't have turned out so successfully. -Joe Corroney

DARTH VADER

from the offical Star Wars Website

Standing two meters tall, dressed in flowing black robes and black body armor, Darth Vader is a tangibly evil symbol of the Emperor's doctrine of rule through fear and terror. With the Emperor's favor Vader has risen through the Imperial ranks to become a fearsome and dreaded military commander, now one of the most highly placed individuals in the New Order.

His face locked behind a hideous metal breath screen, Vader cannot survive without the artificial support of his suit, which functions like a walking "iron lung," breathing for his crushed lungs and keeping his shattered body alive. In spite of these injuries, Vader is a powerful and dangerous figure. Ruthlessly employing torture and brutal violence to achieve his objectives, Darth Vader commands fear within his own troops as well as among his Rebel enemies.

While there are those within the military who despise his weird "sorcerer's ways" and his eccentric and dramatic behavior, as Vader's power has grown these objections have become fewer.

Once a Jedi Knight, Vader was formerly the pupil of Obi Wan Kenobi in the days of the Old Republic, learning the ways of the Force for the purpose of defending truth and justice throughout the galaxy. Impatient with Obi-Wan's teachings, Vader chose a different way of using the Force, and followed the temptations of the dark side of this power. Corrupted and turned evil, he betrayed his mentor and helped the Emperor hunt down and destroy the Jedi, leaving the terrible regime of the New Order unopposed.

Humble Beginnings: This is my first Darth Vader costume I created in 1977. It is hard to believe I have been costuming as Darth Vader for over 27 years...

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my custom storage box for my Darth Vader costume. It was built from my own design by Georgia Case Company especially for my Darth Vader costume. It features a seperate padded compartment for my helmet with a removable display stand that holds the helmet secure while in transit. It also features a removable upper tray for the saber hilt, belt boxes and chest box and a lined compartment for the armor and costume accessories. It has 2 sets of handles on the right side with hidden casters on the left for easy transport.

These quality boxes can be purchased through me for your Darth Vader Armor, Stormtrooper Armor or any other costume you want to safely transport and store.
