Star Wars: The Complete Vader Hardcover – October 18, 2011

Great pictures and articles on the history of the Vader suit, and the Vader character a must for any Star Wars aficionado.

The media could not be loaded.  I didn't think I would like "The Complete Vader" and never intended to buy it until I browsed it in the bookstore. It is not what I expected. There are replica posters, stickers, and script pages throughout. It reminds me of the "Star Wars Vault," though less extensive.The story of Vader includes his initial incarnations, the evolultion of his character, and the casting and development of the young Anakin. It even includes the backstory behind the ostracization of David Prowse. Until now, I've only read innuendos.Included are details about merchandising and toys, but that did not interest me nearly as much as the photos, inserts, and Vader's story itself.This is a book that is sure to please the adult Star Wars fan. I am happy to add it to my collection.

when i saw this book on here, my jaw dropped and i had to have it. waited by the door and it finally came. it is a big book, nice hardcover with vader from front to back. just amazing pictures and details of how vader was born and up til today. the concept photos and background of how he began is amazing. totally changes your outlook on star wars as a whole. plus amazing extras such as hand written script of luke i am your father scene, pop out posters, just too many extras to write down. if you love star wars and the dark lord then you must have this. who cares what the price is, just click order and wait by the door til it comes. thank you for your time and may the force be with you.......

If this book being about the Dark lord didnt catch your attention already it really is a diamond in the rough. First of all the book is massive, Its ideal for a coffee table book. The Photos and pictures in the book are as crisp as can be. One thing I want to point out however is this is a book about the filming and merchandising of Darth Vader. This is not a book on the history of Darth Vader himself. Its a great addition to any Vader fan's collection.

The Complete Vader is a great read for any Star Wars fan. Authors Ryder Windham and Pete Vilmur did a great job of keeping the book fun to read and avoiding a dry historical account. The book has lots of fun facts about Vader and Star Wars. Yet there is a lot more to the book than the story when you take into account the tons of beautiful artwork and photos that are included. From Ralph McQuarrie prints and sketches, to behind-the-scenes pictures of the actors and Vader promotional shoots, there is a lot to enjoy. For collectors, a lot of Vader merchandise is also covered. On top of it all, there's also a lot of fun interactive elements such as fold out pictures, hidden pockets with loose articles, and even copies of film cells. Definitely a book that's worth the money.

A MUST HAVE for any DARTH VADER fans!!! This book goes beyond DARTH VADER HAHA... from how it all began, in terms of his character till the EU.. a must buy!!! :)

Who will ever forget the first time they saw Darth Vader. Having grown up in the 70's as a child, Star Wars was the ultimate movie experience, and Vader was the ultimate villain. I was lucky enough to pre-order this book and receive the slipcased version of this hardcover masterpiece!!!Once you get a hand on this book its almost impossible to put it down... the pictures that illustrate the souns are fantastic and the binding for such a large book is impressive!!! If you love Star Wars, you will love this book!This hardcover book is full of interesting facts and information on this hated enemy of the Rebel alliance. This is a must have collectable and rare find of a book!!! If you can afford a copy, snag one of these! You won't regret it!!!!

I ordered this for my 10 year-old son who loves Star Wars, and naturally Vader is his favorite character. I'm glad it came promptly, because before I wrap it up, I'm going to take a few nights and read it myself! It's big - a 'coffee table' sized book, with some really incredible reading about not just the character of Darth Vader, but the making of Star Wars, including the 3 newer movies. Fantastic sketches and photos. Awesome, awesome book.

Un must have per tutti gli amanti di Darth Vader e del brand di Guerre Stellari.Un bellissimo approfondimento non solo del personaggio, ma del merchandising e del dietro le quinte dei 6 film di Lucas.

Es un excelente libro para saber mas respecto de la historia y creación del personaje, así como publicidad y de demás detalles comerciales respecto de Darth Vader. En pasta dura se ve increíble y no se diga su peso, la calidad de la impresión y hojas es buena, su tamaño es grande y se ve increíble junto a la demás colección de libros que uno se puede ir allegando.

Amazing book about the main character of Star Wars. A real must have for any Star Wars fan. Complete view. Recommended 100%

A4 sized comprehensive guide to one of the definitive bad guys, very thick as well. Absolutely massive amount of information that I had never heard before, including a lot of background information from the making of the films. Oddly enough one of the books most often taken off the shelf by visitors to my home, especially if they are from around my age group. Kids also seem attracted to it, presumably due to release of the newer films. Enormously pleased with this book.
