Then they creatively found new ways to translate the essence of each one into a piece that would still meet the specific design standards to suit Citizen’s 100-year tradition of high-end craftsmanship and innovation. “I really wanted to take subtle cues from the different characters,” Hutson tells StarWars.com. “But we want to make sure and have all of the elements that would excite a Star Wars fan. So we had to take some risks in terms of putting certain [things] in there.” In the movies, Vader next appeared in Rogue One. Despite Vader's best efforts, Rogue One details how the Rebel Alliance and Princess Leia successfully managed to get their hands on the Death Star schematics.

After Rogue One comes A New Hope . Here, Darth Vader defends the Death Star from the growing rebellion and strikes down his former Master Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi (here played by Alec Guinness) in their second and final duel. Nothing has been confirmed now, but we can expect that the life of one of the most powerful Jedi and greatest Sith Lords will be explored in some form in some future Star Wars projects. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place a decade after the events of Revenge of the Sith. In that time, Darth has been placed at the helm of the Inquistorius, an organization of Force-sensitive agents who work for the Dark Side. The Emperor arrives and assures Vader that Luke will seek him out, as he has foreseen they will be able to corrupt the Jedi together. Luke, Leia and co. head to the moon of Endor to deactivate the shield generator on the new Death Star. After befriending the Ewoks, Luke departs the moon to face his father once again.Luke momentarily defeated Darth Vader after tapping into his rage, only for him to decide to spare his father because he was a Jedi. This led to Palpatine blasting Luke with his Force Lightning as the young Jedi didn’t want to join him in the dark side. Vader was overcome with fatherly love and finally became Anakin Skywalker once more as he placed himself in the way of Palpatine’s lightning to kill the emperor and save his son. When approaching the drawing board to create the new Citizen x Star Wars collaboration, watch designer Donell Hutson drew from his own lifelong love of the galaxy far, far away and the characters that captured his childhood imagination. He and the rest of the Citizen team chose the characters that each of the five watches would represent: heroes Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, their antagonists Darth Vader and Boba Fett, and the fearsome Death Star space station. StarWars.com takes a closer look at the limited edition collection paying homage to Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, the Death Star, and more! You won't be too surprised to learn that even some watchmakers have taken on this sci-fi universe as a design theme, using it to inspire everything from affordable watches to some rather high-end, esoteric examples. Maybe you're a serious enthusiast who would wear your fandom on your sleeve in the form of a wristwatch, or maybe you're just curious what a Star Wars watch would look like. In either case, and in the spirit of the season, we present you with a selection of the watch world's contribution to Star Wars fandom on this May 4th.

There have been failures like the Google Glass and Snap Spectacles, and hopeful attempts like Oppo's Air Glass and Apple's secretive project, but the Razer Anzu smart glasses take a different spin on the wearable device by designing them for indoors. While they come with polarized sunglass lenses, their clear lenses are more useful with their blue light filter, which protects your eyes from screen glare to prevent discomfort even after hours of playing video games or working from home. The smart glasses, which also have a built-in omnidirectional microphone and speakers, may also be more comfortable to wear for an extended period of time compared to headsets and headphones. You'll enjoy smooth, stutter-free sound with the Razer Anzu's low latency audio with a 60ms Bluetooth connection.Darth Vader swiftly became key to ensuring the Galactic Empire stayed in power throughout the galaxy, essentially acting as Emperor Palpatine's right-hand man. And each one captures that essential Star Wars element of feeling well-worn and full of stories from previous adventures. “We were going for that slightly distressed kind of look,” Hutson says. “As things age and they start to get that lived-in feel, I think it holds more value to us.” Vader's first major appearance in the series comes in episode three when he follows Reva's lead to Mapuzo. When he landed on the planet, he began wreaking havoc on the local population to draw out Obi-Wan. He eventually confronted Vader whilst Leia and Tala escaped, but Vader easily bested his former Master and used the Force to drag him viciously through some flames, mirroring how Obi-Wan left him to burn on Mustafar and promising even more pain was in store. On Mustafar, Obi-Wan confronted Darth Vader and begged him to abandon the path he was on, but instead he Force-choked Padméto near-death before engaging in a tense lightsaber duel with his former Master on Mustafar.
