1977 Darth Vader Necklace

Posted to Flickr on 01 March 2010. Part of the JD's House of Miscellany series.

For Christmas in 1977 my Aunt Janice and Uncle Phil gave me the coolest bit of jewelry you could give a boy that year: a Darth Vader necklace! It’s banged up from years of love, but I still think it’s pretty cool.

Submitted to the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting.

This is one of many curious items collected in JD’s House of Miscellany.

Darth Vader

Darth Vader is the central character in the Star Wars universe. Created by George Lucas, the character was the primary villain in the original trilogy Star Wars (1977), Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983), but he was one of the heroes in the prequel trilogy Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). His story is one of tragedy as the young Anakin Skywalker is lured away from his Jedi mentors to the Dark Side of the Force by Emperor Palpatine and eventually betrays everyone he ever cared for. In the original trilogy Darth Vader was played primarily by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones. Anakin Skywalker was played by Jake Lloyd and Hayden Christensen in the prequel trilogy. Darth Vader is a powerful character and perhaps the most iconic figure in the Star Wars saga.
