The idea of the Darth Vader Hot Air Balloon was first conceived in  2005. FanWars wanted its creator to make a Death Star shaped PVC helium balloon.

While discussing with FanWars leader Nicolas Lelong aka TK-9999, the idea of a Darth Vader shaped hot air balloon was introduced. FanWars took it seriously and found the idea wonderful and contacted LucasFilms for approval. TK-9999 spoke of the project with Steve Sansweet of LucasFilm. Soon the green light was given for a Darth Vador’s helmet shaped balloon.

In 2014, the Master Yoda Hot Air Balloon was added to the collection.
