Though Entertainment Weekly stops short of confirming Vader’s return in the text of its new Rogue One story, the magazine’s cover makes a big promise: “Darth Vader is Back!” Vader’s famous (albeit melted) helmet was also a centerpiece of the ad campaign for The Force Awakens and, according to The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a Force ghost version of Anakin Skywalker (as played by Hayden Christensen) was part of an early concept of the film. How could the movie not use him? But now that it’s been confirmed that Vader will, in fact, “loom” over the plot of Rogue One, it’s worth wondering if Star Wars will ever escape the shadow of its most iconic villain. After all, it’s set just before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, when Lord Vader is at the height of his powers. From these molds, the final fiberglass cast helmets and armor were produced.Even before fans thought they heard the whisper of Darth Vader’s asthmatic breathing in the Rogue One trailer, there were rumors that the Skywalker villain would make an appearance in the next Star Wars film. Plaster molds were made of the sculpted clay face, helmet dome and armor. He also sculpted around the “head cast” and produced Darth Vader’s distinctive face, based on Ralph McQuarrie’s design work. Using clay, artist Brian Muir sculpted the helmet and hard costume pieces. In 1976, production designer John Barry and costume designer John Mollo were responsible for creating a suit for Darth Vader based on the McQuarrie concept. In the earliest concepts of the uber-villain Darth Vader, George Lucas told artist Ralph McQuarrie he wanted him to look like a "dark lord riding on the wind" with black flowing robes, a large helmet like that of the Japanese Samurai, and a silk mask covering his face. In the summer of 1975, artist Ralph McQuarrie and George Lucas worked together to invent some of the key Star Wars™ characters.
Perhaps more than any other character, Vader’s iconic costume is synonymous with his identity. Those images helped George Lucas successfully promote his ideas and sell the film to 20th Century Fox executives in 1975. Based on George Lucas's concept of the dark villain, artist and designer Ralph McQuarrie produced the first glimpse of Darth Vader in what are now famous sketches and paintings.
Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader, the former Anakin Skywalker, has endured as the villainous focal point for the Star Wars saga from its inception.
