The Empire Strikes Back Vader Costume For Sale 167
Now is your chance to own an original Darth Vader costume from the best of the Star Wars movies. Christie's auction house plans on putting it up for sale on Nov. 25 and it would be unwise to underestimate the value of this costume. From the article: "The jet-black helmet, mask and armor worn by the intergalactic villain are expected to sell for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($250,000 and $365,000) at a sale of pop culture memorabilia next month."

Darth Vader was hardly an intergalactic villain. His villainy was strictly limited to one galaxy.

Empire was not the best of the movies. (Score:4, Informative)
I really don't get why people think Empire was the best. It was all connective tissue, with no real story to it, and deliberately ended without a resolution. The first one was self-contained and is rightly deemed one of the greatest movies ever made. The third one resolved the trilogy, but of course...ewoks...so it can't contend.
What? There were three more? Huh. Not part of this series, certainly... No matter.
The point is, Star Wars is the best Star Wars movie. Empire is flashy and necessary to continuing the story, but is still just a sequel and certainly not superior.
Regardless, I will be auctioning my left nut in order to raise funds to bid on this dress. Precisely because I'm rational.

You sure about that?
If I buy it, you can better well bet that I'll try it on at least once. Not that I'll advertise that when it's my turn to auction it off...

Why would he need a costume? He can already force-choke.

But he's also considered a villian HERE, because of his actions as shown in the documentaries.
Also because of his actions robbing our banks [gothamist.com], presumably to pay for his war.
