The Most Impressive 'Star Wars' Creations to Celebrate May the 4th

May 4 aka Star Wars Day is upon us and whether you’re a fan of the popular franchise or not, you’ll surely get a kick out of the pun, “May the Fourth be with you.” The phrase apparently dates back to 1979, which was around the time that Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back premiered on the big screen. Now, it’s become an annual event-slash-awesome excuse for die-hard devotees to throw galactic parties, dress like Ewoks, and engage in intricately choreographed lightsaber battles. Not to mention, George Lucas’ birthday lands on this month as well.

To commemorate Star Wars Day, we rounded up several of the most impressive fan-made creations. From a Darth Vader helmet constructed out of 24-karat solid gold to a Millennium Falcon meticulously made of cardboard, check out our list below and let us know any other wild examples you’ve come across. Conclusively, look out for Star Wars: The Last Jedi to hit theaters on December 15.

24-Karat Darth Vader Mask Worth a Whopping $1.4 Million USD

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.

Additionally, a set of three commemorative gold coins featuring the notorious galaxy villain will also be sold for approximately $11,000 USD each on May 4.

Death Star Made of 4,000+ LEGO Pieces

Millenium Falcon Crafted out of Cardboard Boxes

Japanese artist Monomi Ohno has a real talent for creating elaborate 3D sculptures using only cardboard. Ohno’s striking creations first started when she attended Osaka University of the Arts. She studied 3D animation, but according to BoredPanda, didn’t have enough money to pay for the needed software. Instead, she practiced on a slew of empty Amazon boxes which immediately turned into an ongoing project consisting of intricately crafted tanks, mainstream cartoons, food as well as rifles.

Real-Life Lightsaber That Actually Burns

Last December, electrical engineer Allen Pan created a lightsaber that is capable of burning real-life objects. The quirky craftsman fitted the lethal device with a nichrome ignition starter that spews a fuel and propellant mixture of methanol, acetone, and butane. Additionally, Pan added a sound FX feature that triggers the iconic humming sound once you trigger the valve control. Watch Pan slay stormtrooper balloons and a Jar Jar Binks paper-cut-out in the video above.

Animal-Inspired Stormtrooper Helmets

NYC-based designer Blank William reimagined the iconic stormtrooper helmet as animal-inspired variants. The animals in question consist of armored-out hippo, elephant and rhino renditions. William created the series to pay tribute to the Star Wars: The Force Awakens film which launched in 2015.
