$18,000 Darth Vader Bronze Statue


If you can’t get enough of Darth Vader and you have $18,000 burning in your pocket, this limited edition 4 feet tall and 150 lbs. heavy Darth Vader bronze statue by Lawrence Noble might be just what you’re looking for.

Like the now famous Yoda bronze adorning the Presidio fountain as well as Big Rock Ranch’s garden court entrance, the half-scale Darth Vader bronze is also being made available to the public in extremely limited quantities–30–exclusively through StarWarsShop.

The inspiration for this Vader bronze, which was modeled after the Dark Lord’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, ironically came from a source usually associated with the Star Wars prequels — the planet Coruscant.

“For me, the idea was to do the kind of statue we would see in honor and tribute to Lord Vader on the planet of Coruscant,” says Noble. “So if you were walking around the city on Coruscant and saw a statue of Darth Vader, it would hopefully be something along the lines of what we produced.”

The $18,000 Limited Edition Darth Vader Bronze Statue by Lawrence Noble is available from the official Star Wars webshop.
