This is where quality makes the difference. There are many cheap flimsy capes and paper thin plastic helmets on the market. But they are not true costumes. A true authentic costume has a power of its own. When you wear it, there is a sense of that character which continues to project, even if others are aware of your true identity.

With this Darth Vader costume, the menace and power is built in, thanks to the molded armor which was made using official licensed Lucas Studio molds. Add the quilted suit and the electronic lights and respirator sounds and people will get the feeling that you have stepped out of the Revenge of Sith movie.

Darth Vader is a great character to portray because of the power of his story. The character was never allowed to be a simple evil villain. The tragedy of Skywalker is like that of Lucifer. And so Halloween is the perfect time for this character to mix and mingle and stir up that splendid mix of shiver and awe.

A little known fact about the Darth Vader Character:

Did you know that George Lucas saw Darth Vader as the central character of the Star Wars mythology? It was his fall and redemption which carried all of the movies along.

Everyone has their own favorite character in the Star Wars films, but the central brooding character was always Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader. I think that this is why the Authentic Darth Vader Halloween Costume still holds such power.
