Life-Size Animated Darth Vader Decoration Coming to Home Depot For Star Wars Day 2024

The Home Depot has become a go-to retailer for elaborate and enormous holiday decorations in recent years, particularly for Halloween. Being that Star Wars Day aka May the 4th falls right around the halfway point for Halloween, it’s fitting that they plan to deliver something special for fans – something like a 7-foot tall animated, LED Darth Vader that includes accessories for Halloween, Christmas, and everyday display. 

The Darth Vader will feature classic soundbites and sounds, lifelike animatronic movements, and interchangeable accessories for multiple holidays, including a red light saber, Death Star jack-O-lantern, candy cane light saber and a Death Star ornament. 

At the time of writing, Home Depot hasn’t provided a specific launch time and location for the Darth Vader decoration, but it’s expected to drop at some point “early Saturday” on Star Wars Day / May the 4th priced at $299. Honestly, that seems like a pretty fantastic deal for something like this. For example, Sideshow’s life-size Darth Vader figure costs almost $9000 and it doesn’t even come with a candy cane lightsaber! That said, expect The Home Depot Darth Vader to sell out quickly, leaving lots of angry fans in its wake. UPDATE: Home Depot has launched a product page for the Darth Vader that will go live in the morning on May 4th. We suggest that you check in on the link early and often as it appears that even Home Depot doesn’t know exactly when it will go on sale.
