How Much Would Darth Vader's Suit Cost in Real Life?

HOW MUCH WOULD DARTH VADER'S SUIT COST? Darth Vader is arguably the most memorable character from the Star Wars universe, and his suit is one of the most iconic costumes in film history. But how much would that suit cost in real life? Prosthetic legs and left arm: Augmented reality: Vader's helmet has augmented reality functionality, similar to that of the mounted display of the F-35's helmet. Using a similar functionality would provide Vader with night vision, navigational capability and advanced targeting. In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker has his legs and left arm cut off in a fight with Obi Wan Kenobi. By Return of the Jedi, Vader is able to perform complex movements and walk normally, so he would require top-of-the-line prosthetics. $140,000 for legs ($70,000 each), $40,000 for the left arm $600,000 Base suit: As imperial space fighter cockpits are not pressurised, Vader's suit must be airtight and able to withstand exposure to space. The base suit then would need to be similar to a NASA space suit. Prosthetic maintenance: The lifetime cost of the medical bills and $12 million maintenance of a high-end prosthetic can be as high as $1.8 million. $5.4 million for all three prosthetics Breathing: Vader's mechanical breathing is an iconic part of his character, meaning there's likely to be a heart and lung machine built into the suit. Voice: Vader's voice is clearly modified while wearing the suit. A high-end voice synthesiser is likely included in his suit. $45,000 $1,000 Total suit cost: $18.3 MILLION SOURCES PRODUCED BY shade www.centives.net/S/2015/how-much-would-darth-vaders-suit-cost/ disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:TIE_Fighter_cutaway.jpg science.howstuffworks.com/space-suit.htm www.howmuchisit.org/prosthetic-arm-cost/ biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BI108/2006-108websites/group07HighTechProsthetics/pages/cleg.htm www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/10/474/Blough.html STATION arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/07/magic-helmet-for-f-35-ready-for-delivery/ www.perfusion.com/cgi-bin/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=21&idcategory=23 www.afb.org/ProdBrowseCatResults.asp?CatID=50
