A Photo of Director Steven Spielberg Dressed Up as Darth Vader Surfaces
Here’s another fun thing that came out of Star Wars Day earlier this week. This is an old photo of director Steven Spielberg dressed up in a Darth Vader costume.
The photo was shared on the official Twitter account of Spielberg’s production company Amblin. The costume he’s wearing is high quality and I wonder if it might be one of the actual Vader costumes that Lucasfilm may have had laying around. It just looks incredibly authentic.
The photo came with the following note: "Despite the clear casting choice right there in @starwars creator George Lucas’s closest circle of friends, The Maker went on to opt for Dave Prowse and James Earl Jones instead. Easy come, easy go, George!"
