Darth Vader: Star Wars
built 142 days ago
Darth Vader was the first character from the Star Wars mimobot Series released, and fittingly he was ... the first one to reach sold out status! and not coming back. Luckily, now there's Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo, so while you can't have a certified Sith Lord guard your data, you can leave those precious files in the capable hands of a certified Bounty Hunter, Jedi Apprentice, Princess of Alderaan or Spice Smuggler.

Darth Vader is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe. He was portrayed by bodybuilder David Prowse and a series of stunt doubles, most notably Bob Anderson, while his voice was supplied by actor James Earl Jones. The character is one of the most iconic villains in film history and was ranked third on American Film Institute's 100 Heroes and Villains list.[1]
Comments: This smoked-chrome, limited-edition Darth Vader mini bust was available as an incentive to get people to open new MBNA Star WarsT MasterCardR accounts, as well as to just 100 card holders in exchange for 7,500 Galactic Credits. It was delayed endlessly and the program was considered by most Gentle Giant mini-bust collectors to be...well, a bust. There were ... 25 Artist Proofs for this piece, and many of them were sent to collectors who had complained about the way Gentle Giant handled their 2003 summer convention exclusive, the Clone Trooper Lieutenant.

Why did Darth Vader appeal so much? In a time of detente, of nuance, there was a purity about “Star Wars,” and no one was more pure than Darth Vader. He was the biggest baddest man on the biggest baddest ship in the galaxy. He wore black. He was evil, but a cool kind of evil, not like the other men of the Empire, pasty white British guys with bad haircuts and flared nostrils who bickered needlessly and couldn’t pronounce “sorcerer’s ways” correctly. No, Darth got it. The movie was about spirituality over technology, but only three people were really aware of this spirituality enough to control it, and one was wise but old (Obi-wan Kenobi), and one was idealistic but young (Luke Skywalker), while the third, Darth, was just right.

An early conceptual drawing of Darth Vader by Ralph McQuarrie. In the original Star Wars trilogy, Darth Vader is the primary antagonist: a dark, ruthless figure, out to capture, torture, or kill the films's heroes to prevent them from thwarting the Empire. Beginning with The Empire Strikes Back, Vader's leitmotif has been composer John Williams's The Imperial March, which heralded the character's entrances in the mise en scène, underlining his powerful influence and strength.
STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: In this classic installment, Luke Skywalker seeks his destiny as a Jedi knight while evil Darth Vader strikes back against his comrades in the battle to save the galaxy. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams star in the action spectacular. SHOWMOVIES 1 at 22:30 KSA
