Darth Vader's helmet type hot air balloon with Lucasfilm's full cooperation

Speaking of Darth VaderWashington Cathedral has a Darth Vader statueAlthough it is about as popular character, it seems that the project to make hot air balloon of the dozen Vader type started this time. I am making fans of Star Wars, but I heard that he got permission from Lucas Film properly.

Details are as follows.

I will make it as a helmet of Darth Vader if it is chikyu.


It seems that Lucasfilm sent a dozen Vader helmet to make it a reference for production.


The finish is like this.


The size is 26 m in height, 21 m in width, 24 m in depth, including gondolas on which people ride. A flight test was carried out in March and it seems that he corrected it in detail so as to be as close as possible to the shape of the Vader helmet. I am looking forward to coming out in the future such as fan events.
