Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker; the Republic’s Only Hope; Luke’s Father; the Emperor’s Apprentice; and One of the Most Recognizable Characters in all of Pop Culture.
Darth Vader made us appreciate the power of the force, and gave us reason to cheer on the good guys. He made us sad when we saw how he came to be, and angry at how people pretend to be him at Halloween.
Darth Vader is an icon. And it’s apparent by the massive amounts of toys, posters, art, figurines, videos, and more that people make/build/design of him. However, some people get it all wrong.
Some are cute, some are funny, some are cool, and some are just plain wrong. In no particular order, here’s the The 50 Most Unique Representations Of Darth Vader to show how much the world “appreciates” and “respects” him. Enjoy!

How could you forget Dark Helmet from Spaceballs?
It really is a shame to see crappy blog posts like this that make NO effort to come up with something original, nor any effort to SHOW CITATION for the works that OTHER PEOPLE spent their time to create. “Top Ten Whatever” Lists should be banned. Admins of sites that don’t cite, should be shot.
Luke, Come to the “DARTH side” of commercialism!
This list is great. Some of the things were really funny.
[…“Top Ten Whatever” Lists should be banned. Admins of sites that don’t cite, should be shot.]
Wow, good thing this guy isn’t “the decider” hahah. Blogger with a day job at the RIAA maybe?
#31 is life size, so to speak, and can be found in the NE corner of the second floor of F.A.O. Schwartz in NYC.
You forgot Darth Vader the lousy actor….”Nooooooooooooooo!”
All this Star Wars stuff is crap. What kind of loser keeps putting on this Halloween costume dink crap.
How about coming up with something a little more original if youre gonna always be stuck in childhood.
“Star Wars….Nothing but Star Wars. Who’s sick of Star Wars… I sure am.
26. Darth Vader Step Art – Art on a step… only question is what building approved this?

Mel Brook’s Space Balls version?
I actually used to have one of those watches, it was made of metal, sharp as hell and never kept accurate time. Woulda been good in a fight though

The cat at the end cracked me up. Wasn’t there a pic of a guy in a vader costume following some nuns? That would have been a good one.
