Lego darth vader

Darth Vader, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, is the second-in-command of the Empire. He was once a Jedi Knight and expert pilot trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, but his emotions caused him to give in to his anger and aggression and he turned to the Dark Side of the Force. This new path caused him to become a Sith and resulted in a duel with Obi-Wan that resulted in him adopting his body armor and life-support system. This minifigure was one of the first Star Wars minifigures. There are several versions of Darth Vader, but the most common version is the one that LEGO's first version (before the 2009 redesigned torso). As of 2015, Vader's minifigure has a new helmet mold, which has remained the same since the 75093 Death Star Final Duel set.

In accordance to LEGO® Star Wars' 10th anniversary, LEGO produced 10,000 Darth Vaders in shiny paint which were randomly inserted into 2009 Star Wars sets. Contrary to LEGO's 2007 Gold C-3PO promotion for Star War's 30th anniversary, they decided to also include the battle packs in the list of sets that these special minifigures would be randomly inserted into.
