Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader ARTFX Statue (Ralph McQuarrie version) Star Wars,
Get Ralph McQuarrie's early concept
illustrations for Star Wars Duel as a 3-D vinyl model
courtesy of the masterful artisans at Kotobukiya.The figure designs inspired
by McQuarrie's 1975 depiction of a duel between Darth Vader
and Luke Skywalker (or rather, "Deak Starkiller") include a more
lupine face mask for Vader and a "breath mask" for
Luke. According to McQuarrie, early versions of the script implied
that the Rebel starship's hull was breached by the Imperials
to board it, releasing the pressurized atmosphere into space. As
a result, both Luke and Vader were required to wear
breath masks for a duel sequence that was later revised
(or rather delayed until Empire). While Luke no longer required
the mask after script rewrites, Vader kept his since the
look so perfectly captured his sinister mystique.The two figures can
be displayed together, locked in the iconic pose made famous
by McQuarrie's classic illustration, or separately. Together, the combined bases
measure approximately 16.5 inches long, with Vader standing about 11
inches tall.
