Interview with Dov Kelemer, curator of The Vader Project which was recently on display at the 5 day Star Wars Celebration IV event in LA to marking the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. Over 60 Darth Vader helmets (retailing at $900 US) were customized.
... Star Wars was getting very nerdy ... and watching it go down the way of Star Trek, and just thinking the words of William Shatner on SNL, you know "get a life." It's SNL and he's at this fake comic convention, and he's like "Get a life, have you ever kissed a girl?" And I'm afraid Star Wars is headed in that direction. So my pitch to Master Replicas was hey, I have a concept here that I can try and make Star Wars cool.
