Samurai Vader
The Darth Vader design is a cheat? Stolen from history? It can't be!
Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved the way that our favorite bad guy looked like a Samurai knight. During a recent visit to a weapons museum, I spotted a Samurai helmet that almost had me joining the dark side! (yes Darth, we can rule the galaxy as father and son!!!)

Half Samurai and half Rocketeer... I wonder which was first on the latter...

Lucas interviewed on Darth Vader. The helmet is mentioned a couple times.
