There are lots of people who are nuts about Star Wars. After all, just look at how many people would line up for days or even weeks before each new movie was released. And if you ever saw one of the movies on opening night, you probably saw some Stormtrooper suits and Darth Vader costumes in the crowd.

Darth Vader costumes tend to be designed for those fans truly obsessed with the world of Star Wars. That's because they are not easy to arrange and tend to be very difficult to both put on and take off.

For the majority of true Star Wars fans, becoming Darth Vader by means of a realistic, high-tech costume has been a childhood fantasy, complete with dreams of battles with light sabers against the Jedi knights.

The imagination may be a little less active these days, but I'd still like to go all out one year for Halloween and splurge for a super-detailed Darth Vader. I've never been one for those nerdy conventions where everybody argues the little details about Star Wars that George Lucas most likely never thought of himself so Halloween is the only time I'd get away with dressing as the Sith Lord.

As Halloween approaches, good Darth Vader costumes get progressively more difficult to locate. If you're planning on dressing as Vader this October, make sure you start looking for your costume early in the year to beat the rush.

Many Internet costume shops offer great Darth Vader costumes and will gladly ship your order until just a few days before Halloween. Waiting until the last moment, however, might mean that your dream costume has been sold out.

The Internet will be the best place to find your costume if there are not professional costume shops in your area. Online shops also have a better selection. Department and drug stores don't offer the high quality costumes that diehard Vader fans are looking for.

Whoever you may be, young or old, male or female; a full body Darth Vader costume can be your ultimate costume. Complete with a mask to hide your identity (if you so choose), great movie quotes, and some creepy breathing sounds, a Darth Vader costume will liven up your Halloween for sure.
