Take A Peek Inside Darth Vader's Helmet
Apparently they have Darth Vader's helmet on display in the Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute Science Museum I mentioned in last week's Yoda cookie post. So here it is. I'm glad there are pictures of it because I didn't remember it too well from the movie. Sure I can recall the part in Return of the Jedi when Luke takes it off and all, but I was too enamored with the dried and misshapen turnip that was Darth Vader's head to notice anything about the helmet. You remember that head? It looked awful -- kind of like a conehead, but with serious dents and scars. That shit kept me from sleeping for days. And I still won't eat turnips.
Several more shots of Vader's helmet, including a nice interior view, after the jump. I also included one of his busted-ass head, in case you forgot what it looks like.

This is a series of works created by Star Wars artist Matt Busch in which the original movie posters have been zombified. I like the guts hanging out of the tauntaun, that's a nice touch. And for the record -- I'd still take my chances with Han. So dreamy. To coincide with ... / Continue →
