2008 Vader Project

Posted on July 22, 2008 Under Art

No matter how far, far away you are from Skywalker Ranch, one thing will always ring true: fan boys and fan girls alike can’t get enough of the Holy Sextilogy. Over the last several days Star Wars freaks and geeks flocked to Japan’s Star Wars Celebration where they caught a glimpse of 2008 Vader Project. The exhibit was a result of the efforts of some of Japan’s top designers, such as Devil Robots and Mad Barbarians, who, when asked to re-imagine the helmet of the film series’ most infamous character, certainly came through with flying colors. We’re sure the masks made more than a few fans gasp (or however that Darth Vader sound goes). The celebration came to a close yesterday, with no word if, or where, the exhibit might pop up next. We suggest using the force.
