Darth Vader from Portugal: Dressing up my Darth Vader Episode 3 costume... Quite a complicated and elaborate task, I'm afraid.
Available for apearences in thematic events.

F.A.Q:

Q: How tall are you?
A: I'm 1,76m which is about 5ft9.

Q: Aren't you a little short to impersonate Vader?
A: The actor who played Vader in the Original Trilogy was around 2m tall. Most people are not that tall... Not even the actor who played Vader in Episode III ROTS. However Christopher Reeve who played Superman was also more than 1,90m tall and I don't see anyone wondering whether someone needs to be that tall to dress as Superman. The answer is no! No one is to short to impersonate Vader, but the Armors manufacturers haven't so far made a resized version of Vader's armor. Available armors are the same size of the armor of the movies. This makes them look weird on anyone shorter than 2m tall.

Q: Is this the "Supreme Edition" Darth Vader costume?
A: No it is not!.. The Supreme Edition is a mass produced costume, made in factories. The materials of the "Supreme Edition" are cheaper and not movie accurate. This costume is a movie replica in true Argentinian leather and Fiberglass. The "Supreme Edition" is in plastic and faux-leather. The "Supreme Edition" costs around $750. This one cost around $3000 and was purchased from several different private props makers. True movie replicas artists.

Q: How much did your costume cost?
A: Around $3000 which includes the voice changer (not the voice changer in this video, the one in other videos I have).

Q: Are you a 501st Legion Member?
A: Yes, my ID is SL-9151, but I decided to change my status to "Inactive", since like any other big organization, the internal politics and intrigues inside the 501st Legion are really starting to smell bad, and not worth wasting one's time. Reminds of why I also had to resign from Environmental organizations in the past. when you spend more time arguing about internal intrigue, than working for the organization's original purpose... It's time to leave.
