​In “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Kylo Ren, Darth Vader’s grandson from his maternal side keeps the burnt remains of Darth Vader’s helmet in his own private chamber. Kylo appealed to the spirit of the Dark Lord of the Sith for guidance when he needed to do his dark work.

Now the helmet’s replica, which went on sale on November 23 and will be available until January 14, 2018, is the highest quality Darth Vader collectible.

Darth Vader is the main antagonist of the US film saga; he appears in all the episodes, beginning with the first film of the classic trilogy, filmed in 1977.

The next Star Wars film “The Last Jedi” will be released on December 15.
