Star Wars fans are in their own league when it comes to showing support for their favorite flicks. The Darth Vader hot air balloon, commissioned by a group of obsessed Belgian Force followers, is the perfect example. Standing 86 feet high by 69 feet wide, the Darth Vader balloon was built by Cameron Balloon in the UK and took eight weeks to construct. Before building the balloon, the creators sought and received permission from LucasFilms.

    hi, I am the pilot, the balloon was manufactured by Cameron Balloon (UK) and not by Lindstrand ;-)
    May the fly be with you!
