Star Wars may be 46 years old - but Screen Rant can exclusively reveal Darth Vader is the franchise's most popular cosplay even after all this time!
Star Wars has expanded a great deal over the last 46 years, but Darth Vader is still the most popular cosplay character. Darth Vader and his iconic suit made a lasting impression on audiences back in 1977, and he remains one of the more recognizable figures in fiction among both fans of the franchise and casual movie viewers alike. There's something unforgettable about the dark, imposing armor and the Sith Lord's rasping breathing.
Online card game Solitaire Bliss has analyzed the number of Google searches of 209 Star Wars characters alongside terms such as "cosplay," "clothes," and "outfit." Their analysis confirmed Darth Vader is the most-researched costume. Solitaire Bliss has exclusively confirmed to Screen Rant that 30,485 Google searches every month are focused on improving Darth Vader's costume.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Darth Vader's Popularity Is Unmatched Darth Vader's popularity is all the more remarkable given the continued expansion of Star Wars over the decades. Darth Vader was Star Wars' first villain, but he remains the most memorable. It helps that he's been developed into an unusually three-dimensional character, complex and tragic rather than simply a powerful villain.
Darth Vader's outfit is, of course, instantly recognizable. It's easy to purchase licensed versions of the Vader costume online, but there are also countless homemade designs that attempt to recreate Vader's helmet, breathing apparatus and sweeping cloak. The costume is, of course, entirely incomplete without Darth Vader's iconic blood-red Sith lightsaber, which allows any cosplayers to feel truly menacing as they bring the Sith Lord to life.
