The celebration continues with Funko releasing a new Darth Vader Funko Pop! to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of Walt Disney Studios. Star Wars, one of Disney’s marquee franchises, continues to grow with exciting new projects announced at Star Wars Celebration earlier this month, including three new movies. Darth Vader is one of the most infamous villains in Star Wars.

Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, and Darth Vader’s story and popularity have only grown since. Darth Vader is the perfect character to celebrate Disney’s centennial, with the notorious Sith being one of the most iconic characters in the entire franchise. Funko has released other iconic characters from Disney’s tentpole franchises as part of Disney’s 100th anniversary, including Star Wars’ R2-D2.
