Darth Vader
It’s not just that Darth Vader has remained number one for forty-nine years; not just in film history or in pop-cultural endurance. We mean that Vader has remained cool, absolute limitless cool, for four decades. The helmet. The breathing. The voice. The way he enters a room knowing he is the single most interesting thing in that room. You never stop loving Darth Vader. Sure you might scoff at him for a few years in a stride but then someone pops his theme on in a shopping centre and you know it. Instantly.
Buying Vader merch is easy. Finding good Vader merch is much harder. There is a lot of Vader merch and pretty as this stuff often looks it. Amounts of it are also complete garbage. You know it. We know it. Anyone who has received a cardboard yoga sheriff for Vadermas knows it. What follows is not Vader mugs. Plastic statue keyrings or bobbleheads you won’t actually display. It’s stuff that understands the man in black as more than a ‘selling point’. Products that were clearly made by people who cared about what they were making.
For anyone.
When we picked our list of gifts for Vader fans we thought about everyone. From hardcore fans who can recite every line from Revenge of the Sith to more casual fans who recognise good design when they see it. Our list contains gifts for them all. Because Vader is the best and our Vader fans deserve only the best.
