Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader Statue - 1/5 (Sideshow)

“When words could not convey my ideas, I could always point to one of Ralph’s fabulous illustrations and say, ‘Do it like this.’ ” – George Lucas

Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual drawings and paintings were instrumental in bringing George Lucas’ epic space saga to the big screen, envisioning the vast worlds of fantastic heroes, villains, vehicles and aliens that would come to be known as Star Wars!

Sideshow artists spend a lot of time creating 3D representations of some of the most recognizable pop-culture icons in the world and, for that reason, Sideshow honored to present the Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader Statue – part of the Concept Artist Series.

Ralph McQuarrie is the man who gave the design and visual representation of Darth Vader, and the statue has been created based on his original illustrations featuring an alternate concept helmet.

Standing just under two feet tall, this polystone piece is the homage to the man who gave one of the most amazing characters to ever take the screen.
