I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

It makes zero sense NOT to depict vader wearing a traditional kabuto helmet, after all that’s where Lucas drew inspiration for his helmet.
Also, the word Jedi itself comes from the japanes therm Jidaigeki, which literally translated means period drama, but is often referred to as samurai drama for it’s glorification of the traditional Japanese warriors during the Edo period.
ITは、トラップの！
I have to say. This is pure genius. 🙂

waaah waaah look at me I’m a super nerd and nothing is good enough for me. STFU and appreciate the sheer genius of it.
Going with the Samurai helmet for Vader was the easy way out. I commend that the artist did not go for something obvious.
FNG, you seem to have sand in your vagina, care to remove that and then try communicating like an actual person, not a raging PMS hooker?
Also, I never said the pictures weren’t good – I like them. And no, the easy way out in this case is slapping a generic oni mask and a (and a coffee filter hat?) topknot

Not to get too nerdy, but George Lucas didnt actually come up with the look of Darth Vader. All it said in the script was a “Tall man in black robes.” The concept artist Ralph Mcquarrie came up with it and most of the look of star wars.
