Awesome Darth Vader

Wisecrack explores the things that drove Anakin to head to the Dark Side, along with the psychological fuel that continued to keep his evil fire burning until his (1983 spoiler alert) ultimate demise.

This hilarious figure from Bandai lets you serve up toothpicks to your dinner guests in the best way possible – as the Dark Lord of the Sith produces tiny wooden toothsabers from inside of his cloak. It’s only about $30 in Japan, but you can find pricey imports on Amazon or eBay.

Currently on exhibit at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in NYC, IKON is a collection of exploded anatomical diagrams of famous celebrities, characters and landmarks by street artist and painter Nychos. It’s on display until 7/23/16.

“You become aroused when you put on that helmet?” “Yes.” Jordan Schlansky talks about his eFx Star Wars: A New Hope Darth Vader Helmet. But this isn’t a product review, more of a preview followed by a very hesitant unboxing.

…aka Darth Vader. Forget about getting gifts. If he were Santa Claus, Christmas would be the worst day of the year, regardless if you were naughty or nice. Wrenthereaper took over for Corridor Digital’s Sam and Niko for this holiday episode. Making-of here.

“Yipeee!” What if Anakin Skywalker kept talking and thinking like a kid all his life? We’d get the sci-fi version of Kung Pow. M. deicke mashed scenes from the original trilogy with the young Anakin’s dialogue from the prequels.

Apparently a lot of people disagreed with how the Super Power Beat Down between Batman and Darth Vader ended, so Bat in the Sun made an alternate version of the short film. If you’ve seen the original, you can skip to 2:55 for the battle.

An unbelievably life-like take on Vader from Star Wars: A New Hope. It comes with 9 different hands and an LED-lit chest panel that activates Vader’s breathing sound effect. It will also come with an interrogation droid figure.

Batman goes to the Death Star to rescue Superman. But before he can do that he has to go through Darth Vader in this snazzy short from Super Power Beat Down. Why don’t the Sith just Force Choke their way through every battle?

(NSFW: Language) The guys at FilmDrunk envision what might have been if Lucas had cast The Arnold for the voice of Darth Vader instead of James Earl Jones. It’s not a toomah! It’s no moon, either.

Holly Wood is a series of computer-generated wooden sculptures from French artists Tony and Emmanuelle Lugand that features some of our most beloved pop culture, media and gaming icons.

Disney has acquired Lucasfilm, owners of the Star Wars franchise. The Sith Lord took time off from his busy schedule to check out his new home. Based on a foreshadowing Disney ad from last year.

It’s not like the Jedi dog who takes down Darth Vader in this street performance is particularly ferocious – perhaps that’s what makes it laughable when the Dark Lord curls up into submission.

The frost is strong in this one. This is still our favorite Star Wars-themed ice cube tray, but this mold of the Sith Lord’s head comes pretty close. Makes up to six Vader heads at once.

Sneaky Studios pays tribute to Star Wars with two clever tees – one is a classical depiction of Darth Vader as a well-known religious figure, and the other a stylized playing card graphic.

Shepard Fairey’s famous Obey poster inspired artist Robert Mangaoang aka Doom CMYK to make this imposing poster of the Sith Lord. Printed on 11″x17″ glossy paper and limited to 50 copies.

The guys from Retina Burn explore how Darth Vader’s image has been used for both good and evil in commercials. But do you really think that putting him silly situations makes him any less evil?

We’ve never heard Darth Vader described as “a bad banana with a greasy black peel,” but One Minute Galactica’s mashup of Dr. Seuss’s holiday classic with scenes of the Dark Lord fits perfectly.

Worlds collide in this awesome cosplay mashup between the Dark Knight and the Dark Side of the Force. We like to imagine that Luke Skywalker is wandering around on Tatooine dressed as Robin.

These portraits were based only on a passage from A New Hope, where the Sith lord is first described as a 7 ft. tall man with a face “obscured by his flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask”.
