Star Wars Steampunk – Star Wars has a steampunk aesthetic, it uses a lot of bronze, gold and silver plated metals and gears. This can be seen in clothing, droids, and architecture.
Kotobukiya is releasing this new steampunk Industrial Empire Darth Vader statue in the Star Wars Artist Series. The statue features a redesigned battle-worn suit that is loaded with gauges and metal plates.
Darth Vader
Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains in movie history. His imposing body and symbiotic relationship with the Dark Side makes him an intimidating presence to any Star Wars fan.
This 12.5-inch tall Industrial Empire Darth Vader statue is a great addition to any Kotobukiya Artist Series collection. Made in collaboration with Lucasfilm by renowned artist Adi Granov, this is a fantastic reimagining of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Steampunk is a popular genre that incorporates elements from classic sci-fi films. Usually, the theme is around technology that is advanced for its time.
For example, Han Solo’s fashion in Star Wars fits into this genre. His burnside mustache and copper pipe are classic elements of steampunk. Also, C-3PO’s protocol droid costume brings out some of the more mechanical elements of the genre as well.
Chewbacca
Chewbacca is one of the most famous wookiees in the Star Wars universe, and is a central character in many of the films. He also appears in a few comic books and the new Star Wars Kinect game.
After he was captured by Trandoshan hunters during the Clone Wars, Chewie worked with Ahsoka Tano to lead a revolt against them. They eventually defeated the Trandoshan and returned to their home world.
Later, when Han was frozen in carbonite by Darth Vader after the Battle of Hoth, Chewie and his old friend Lando Calrissian helped to rescue him from Jabba the Hutt. They then worked to find Han across the galaxy until they finally caught up with him in Tattooine, where he was held captive by Jabba.
In The Force Awakens, Chewbacca accompanies Rey and Finn to the planet Ahch-To where they try to help Luke recover from his wounds. Han dies in the Resistance assault on Starkiller Base, and Chewie is left to take care of Rey until Luke returns.
Han Solo
Han Solo is the cocky, smuggler pilot who runs the Millennium Falcon. He is accompanied by his Wookiee partner Chewbacca and they have a long list of enemies to keep at bay.
Throughout the Star Wars series, many characters wear a steampunk aesthetic to their clothing. These include goggles, hats and leather. This is also seen in droids like C-3PO who has gold plating on his weapons and gears that can be seen inside.
Another character that carries this style of clothing is Darth Vader. He combines Eastern European/German military noble with samurai styled armor to create this very distinct look for the dark side of the force.

C-3PO
C-3PO has been a staple of the Star Wars franchise since its inception. He has acted as a protocol droid and has been portrayed by Anthony Daniels throughout the entire series.
He has also been seen without his costume in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In addition to his role in the movies, Daniels has also starred as C-3PO in the Discovery Channel television special The Science of Star Wars with R2-D2.
He has served Senator Padme Amidala on Coruscant for many years, and has been part of the clone army that helped the rebel Alliance defeat the Empire during the Clone Wars. He and R2-D2 have helped Luke Skywalker and his friends on numerous missions, most of which have been in support of the Resistance.
