Freakin' awesome. How much would you love to see this 86-foot high Vader noggin creeping through the fog in your neighborhood? The loveable dorks over at the 501st Legion FanWars Garrison in Belgium (I swear I'm not making that up) came up with the idea and Lucasfilm gave their royal approval. From the StarWars.com article:
When the Belgian 501st Legion FanWars Garrison first suggested that one of its members, Benoît Lambert, create a Death Star-shaped PVC helium balloon, he was not only thrilled but already envisioning a chance to show off his artistic talents as well as his love for Star Wars--and his skills as a hot-air balloonist.
What a beautiful spectacle. I think the folks over at CP+B should do one for the King. Some heads deserve a balloon. Others, not so much. Can you imagine a Rachel Ray head at your state fair? Scary. But when it's the right one, bam. Something creepy and magical about an oversized levitating decapitated icon.
Only slightly less spectacular but pretty cool nonetheless is the R2D2 Mailbox initiative, via Morgan.
