This is the tutorial for the chest box from the Darth Vader costume in Star Wars.

This chest box is based on the one Darth Vader had in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (the buttons on the one from A New Hope are a little different).

I simplified the chest box a bit, and changed the white to black on the brackets holding the side cylinders, just so it’d show up a bit more from far away.

You can always change the colors back if you want to be more accurate or if you’re doing the Star Wars A New Hope Darth Vader costume. You can get the finger lights I used here on Amazon.

Check out the next part in the Darth Vader costume series: The belt and codpiece here.
