Insight Editions’ New Darth Vader Book Is Impressive, Most Impressive

This will be a day long remembered. Insight Editions is unleashing a new volume in its Star Wars Icons series dedicated to the Dark Side’s No. 1 Dad, Darth Vader. 

Clocking in at nearly 500 pages, this impressive book unmasks every step of the Sith Lord’s rise to pop-culture domination, from George Lucas’ first drafts of the character to his hundreds of appearances in films, television, novels, comics, video games, and more. Fans can soar behind the scenes with all sorts of never-before-seen content, including early concept art, rare archival photos, and interviews with the cast and crew. Complete with a foreword by Hayden Christensen himself, the title is utterly useless to resist. 

Star Wars Icons: Darth Vader is out of this world in its original form, but don’t underestimate the power of the Collector’s Edition. On top of all the existing collectible inserts, this exclusive version of the book also includes a framed bas relief sculpture of Vader, hand-finished with matte and gloss detailing. Coupled with a die-cast coin of Vader’s helmet embossed onto the spine and a black laser-cut slipcase, this is the drop you’re looking for. 

Make some space on your shelf because Star Wars Icons: Darth Vader is available for preorder now. Fans can Force-grab it online, with shipping slated for Oct. 20.
