AFICIONADO STAR WARS MYSTERY: CAPTURING THE MAN IN BLACK!


Here's some intriguing pictures of a US (?) photo shot taken of Darth Vader, the true Dark Lord of the Sith. I think its from at least 1977/78 (presumably thats Kermit Eller in the costume) - note the huge size of the Vader mask: it has to be from A NEW HOPE time.

If anyone knows what the shoot was for, if there's any more images in the set, and where and when it first appeared, please get in touch...

This was either one of the publicity shoots by Bob Seidemann or the "hologram" Vader shoot for the Making of Star Wars documentary (when Vader appears in the droid control room)

Thank you for that. I forgot all about Vader's MAKING OF STAR WARS appearance...
