Re: Joe Johnston talks "McQuarrie Vader" costume
awesome link... that costume is such a neat sort of "tangential" piece of the SW universe and infinity cool IMO. What a shame that it wound up in the trash!

It may not be new but the pic of the costume on a stand w/death star tiles in the bg is awesome!

Thanks for the link, what a great story.
I agree the death star panel in the background is also really cool to see.

Yeah, too bad he didn't get to design the PT. Would have been cool to see what he came up with.

The Juggernaut or "Turbotank" was his design unless I'm mistaken.


I really like that Vader design. I remember when I was a kid in the early 80s that a friend had a knockoff SW action figure case that had characters that looked something like this Vader and the early McQuarrie designs. I always thought it was from another movie.
