Who could be the most famous fictional character of all the time? I guess in the Star War’s universe it would be Darth Vader. Who didn’t hear about him? Vader’s name has become a synonym for evil. He was ranked third on American Film Institute’s 100 Heroes and Villains list in June 2003. One of the most iconic villains in film history. The concept of the Darth Vader was first imagined that he would fly through space to enter the ship, thats why a suit and breathing mask was necessitating. His powerful bass voice, coupled with his heavy breathing, is easily recognizable.

Early this year, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first Star Wars film. The celebration was located at the C4 (Star Wars Celebration IV) at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. The celebration offered a record number of celebrities in the autograph hall, multiple exhibitors, a Star Wars art show, Lucasfilm archive exhibits, many fan oriented activities and a Darth Vader helmet. I have listed below some pictures of the 66 Darth Vader Helmets Decorated by Pop Artists for this Celebration IV.

Darth is my role model as the nurturing father of boy-girl twins and his helmet is an icon. The design of a single object captures the fear of the unknown future, the evil of Nazi Germany and the doom of the WWI trenches. Design and direction elevated Star Wars (Episode IV) from space opera to near myth, people will recognize Darth Vader’s helmet for centuries, well - at least a few more decades. Luke, I am your father, now mow the lawn and clean up your room.
