Darth Vader chest and shoulder armour from Star Tours. The Disneyland ride opened in 1987 and allowed visitors to explore the forest world of Endor. The armour was created and used in-house at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The armour is made of vacuum-formed black plastic with sections painted in silver. The shoulder pads are connected to the chest plate with two fabric strips and feature elasticated loops, through which the wearer placed their arms. The chest plate features a buckle that once secured it to the performer, and two hooks for attaching the cape. A metal chain loops across the front of the chest. Inside the chest plate is a barcode attached to a label which reads "Walt Disney" in faint text. The armour has some wear from use, including scuffs and scratches. The metal chain has created marks on the plastic, and there are traces of dried adhesive within.

Estimate: £1,000 - 1,500 M
