How tall is Darth Vader?
The bad boy of Star Wars has always been elusive – but how tall is Darth Vader? Here’s everything you need to know.
Even for non-Star Warsfans, the sounds of heavy breathing through an all-encompassing black mask are synonymous with the franchise and its most famous antagonist –Darth Vader.
First introduced in 1977’sStar Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope, the villain is known for being incredibly heartless and stoic, yet wise in his decisions.
While he keeps those he comes into contact with at arm’s length, how tall is Darth Vader? Here’s what you need to know.
Darth Vader is 6 feet 8 inches – or2.03 m– tall.
Considering that the average human height for a male is around 5 feet 9 inches,Darth Vaderis exceptionally taller than most of his foes.
However, according to fan speculation, this isn’t entirely accurate. Without his helmet and boots, Darth Vader is more likely to be 6 feet 6 inches, with some even arguing that he is smaller at 6 feet 5 inches.
“I’ve always thought Vader’s height in the OT looked more like 6’5 with his helmet more or less, rather than the 6’8 height that is listed as canon. To me, Rebels has portrayed his height more accurately (although he may be a bit taller due to his helmet because Kanan is listed as 6’3),” one fanpostedon Reddit.
“Being excited about Vader’s appearance in RO, I asked Pablo on Twitter about a month ago if his height will resemble more of his 6’8 -6’10 height as it is in Rebels, rather than the 6’5 height in the OT.”

Anotherargued: “He is 6’8″ in the Original Trilogy, taking into account the boots and the helmet. Without them, Darth Vader was 6’6″. He was not 6’5″ with a helmet and boots. Source: David Prowse, the man in the suit (most of the time anyway) is 6’6″.”
For context,Luke Skywalkeris around 5 feet 6 inches, with the likes ofJar Jar Binksbeing 6 feet 5 inches.
