Badampum.. we’ll be here all week. Tip your server.

But it’s true! Darth Vader is totally full of hot air, if you’re in Bristol. Can you imagine looking up into the sky and seeing Vader looking down on you? Creepy.

The Daily Mail reports,

Balloonist and Star Wars fan Benoit Lambert, 26, took his 100ft-tall balloon, shaped like evil Sith Lord Darth Vader, out for a test flight over Bristol before flying the £50,000 design all the way home to Belgium.

Balloon maker Don Cameron from Bristol said: “It’s quite a sight. If you were in a plane and suddenly saw Darth Vader it would be quite a shock.”

Watch the video of Darth readying for take off!!

It looks even creepier in the fog
