This Darth Vader hot-air balloon is 86-feet tall, commissioned by Benoit and Michel Lambert from Cameron Balloons  after receiving the official Lucasfilm go-ahead. (See what I did there?)

The Lamberts now show the balloon off  all over the world. It will be featured at the Great Reno Balloon Race, September 9-11, 2011.
