Watercolor adds a bit of class to any image, and that definitely holds true for these paintings of characters from the Star Wars saga. Han, Vader, droids and more look fancy and even more timeless in this style. These paintings were done by Reddit user Terry Cook just for fun and there are some limited prints available if you contact him directly.

You can thank artist K.K. Jordan for this wonderful piece of fan art featuring Darth Vader facing off against the Doctor. It looks like Jordan is giving the edge to the Sonic Screwdriver, but who do you think would win this battle in the end?
Actually, Darth Vader has been picking fights with everyone today. Earlier he was spotted on the subway getting all up in Batman’s face.

I don’t know if I’ve ever used the words dainty and Darth Vader in a sentence together, but this lamp certainly makes me think it. This intricate, beautiful lamp shade is made by a 3D printer from polyamide. It’s a fine powder so the surface has a nice granular appearance and texture that’s perfect for romantic lighting. This Darth Vader lamp will knock the socks off anyone who comes into your home while turning them to the Dark side. Now – who’s going to give me $500 to buy it?

Regular lightbulbs are far too boring. Why choose them when you can have this awesome Darth Vader Lego lamp?! As you would expect, the light source is his lightsaber. You can use batteries to light the room, or you can power the lamp with your computer via a USB cord. The Force might work, too; it’s worth a try. And since the lamp is a basically a 7.5″ Lego figure, it’s poseable! I might have to switch to the Dark side.
This lamp is available next month. Check out a demo video after the break.
What if Darth Vader actually took an active role in his son’s life instead of just being evil? Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown features illustrations showing just what life would be like. Vader would get to do all the normal things dads do like shop for toys, play ball, eat ice cream. I bet the book will be adorable; you’ll be able to take it home on May 4th.
Watch a trailer for the book after the break.
Italian photographer Federico Chiesa imagines what villains would look like in old age. Vader is holding up pretty well, though I’m surprised he’s not on an oxygen tank.

After seeing Malmey Studios’ Darth Vader/Batman armor last year, John Harmon of Mint Condition Customs decided to create an action figure version of the concept:
It’s all part of Vader’s evil plan to harness the power of magic and rainbows for an even bigger, more powerful laser.
This print is part of a series of bizarre pop culture artistic reinterpretations by illustrator Hillary White. Check out more examples after the break.
Darth Vader may win the award for the loudest breather in history. It’s probably the most recognizable breathing pattern in the world. You may not think ten hours of it would be relaxing, but much like the the sound of the Starship Enterprise’s engine idling, it could be just the trick to cure your insomnia.
Check out the video – all ten hours of it – after the break.
