Sith lords everywhere, rejoice. Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka has recently crafted a 24-karat gold Darth Vader helmet to honor the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise which coincides with the label’s 125th anniversary. The life-size helmet is valued at the immense amount of approximately $1.4 million USD and weighs roughly 33 pounds. In case you’re wondering, the golden mask is “too heavy” to put on—sorry, mask off. Additionally, a set of three commemorative gold coins featuring the notorious galaxy villain will also be sold for approximately $11,000 USD each.

Will you be The Chosen One? If you have great Imperial Credit—ahem— money to purchase, then you can try nabbing the helmet on May the fourth at Ginza Tanaka’s flagship store in Tokyo, Japan. Moreover, look out for Star Wars: The Last Jedi to premiere this December.
