Star Wars fanatics come in all shapes and sizes. Opening night of a Star Wars movie at any theater is always a huge event where all kinds of fans come dressed up as their favorite characters. After having waited in line for days just to get into the cinemas, fans don costumes of Darth Vader or Storm Troopers and can easily be spotted in the crowd.

If you’ve ever found yourself dressed up as Darth Vader, you’re probably a bit of a fanatic about the Star Wars movies. After all, the costume is not a simple one to put together, and it’s certainly not easy to slip in and out of.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted a real, high-tech Darth Vader suit. I remember seeing one in a movie memorabilia store back in the 80’s, and my young imagination started picturing me in a heated lightsaber duel with some Jedi Knight.

Although such imaginative fantasies tend to dissipate as fans grow older, they would still probably love to suit up in a fancy, well detailed Vader costume. For fans that don’t make trips to Star Wars conventions, Halloween is the best time and excuse to become Darth Vader.

As Halloween approaches, good Darth Vader costumes get progressively more difficult to locate. If you’re planning on dressing as Vader this October, make sure you start looking for your costume early in the year to beat the rush.

Many Internet costume shops offer great Darth Vader costumes and will gladly ship your order until just a few days before Halloween. Waiting until the last moment, however, might mean that your dream costume has been sold out.

The Internet will be the best place to find your costume if there are not professional costume shops in your area. Online shops also have a better selection. Department and drug stores don’t offer the high quality costumes that diehard Vader fans are looking for.

Whoever you may be, young or old, male or female; a full body Darth Vader costume can be your ultimate costume. Complete with a mask to hide your identity (if you so choose), great movie quotes, and some creepy breathing sounds, a Darth Vader costume will liven up your Halloween for sure.
