Supreme Darth Vader Costume is for Die-Hard Fans

As far as bad guys go, Darth Vader is one of the best villains of all time. The voice, the mask, and the shocking twist to his relationship to Luke Skywalker – all these made Vader a villain everyone could love to hate in the original Star Wars trilogies. The revelation of his entire sad, twisted fall to the Dark Side in Revenge of the Sith only served to cement his standing as one of the greatest bad guys ever to appear on screen.

So it’s not surprising that young and old still love to dress up as the Dark Sith Lord every Halloween. Darth Vader is cool – even if he is evil. But you have to be a Supreme Star Wars fan to choose the Supreme Darth Vader costume for Halloween. Why? Because it will set you back about $700 or more. And that doesn’t even include the light saber. Unless you're independently wealthy, you'll probably want to check out the Supreme Darth Vader costume price comparisons on BizRate before you plunk down your cash.

It’s a testament to the strength of the Star Wars franchise that such pricey Halloween costumes even exist. What other movie could entice fans to shell out that kind of money? And the Supreme Darth Vader costume isn’t the only pricey Star Wars outfit you can grab for Halloween. This year you can also enjoy the Stormtrooper Supreme costume or the Boba Fett Supreme costume if you’re willing to plunk down the bucks. Or, if you’re looking for something a little cheaper – say, around $500 (LOL) – you could always opt for the collector’s edition Chewbacca costume instead.

Authenticity ain’t cheap.

If that's what you want, however, that's what you'll get with these Supreme Star Wars costumes. The Darth Vader costume doesn’t come with the signature black boots or red light saber, and the helmet won’t change your voice to sound more like James Earl Jones. But the heavy duty injection molded plastic armor was cast from the original Lucas Studio molds. This isn’t some cheap knockoff designed in China. This is the real deal.

At this price, however, you sure better hope you win the office costume party.
