Five minutes out of the package, a piece fell off the light saber handle and had to be glued back on. One week later the light no longer works and it's not the batteries, but the connection with the switch. All in all, everything feels chintzy and cheap and I'm embarrassed I spent the money that I did on it.

My 9 year old son was very excited to be Darth Vader for Halloween. He thought the light saber was great, until the base of the battery compartment fell off during his Halloween parade at school. We couldn't find it anywhere, and the light won't work unless you have the base attached. Big bummer, as the light was going to be very important while trick-or-treating in the dark. It caused a lot of drama on Halloween, and I wouldn't recommend this product if you want quality.

The costume was very cheaply made. The facemask was all plastic with a velcro strap and the suit was a foam pullover. The light saber broke within the first day of having it. Unimpressed with this purchase.

My son loved his costume and was the cutest thing I have ever seen. It was not the best looking one I have seen but for a four year old it worked. Next year I may go with something a little more advanced than this one. It is very basic. I did need a little filing on the inside of the mask cause there where a few sharp pieces of plastic and I did not know that when my son put it on the first time. So it hurt him and right away I took it and felt around to find the pieces and grabbed a trusty nail file and went too it. So that would be my only piece of advice to someone buying it. Just check the mask and you'll be all good to go!

We bought this for our 3-year-old son, who had to have a Vader mask. He had lot's of room to grow into this suit, since it's meant for kids a bit older. While the rest of the costume is surprisingly high-quality(the upper body suit and cape along with the light saber that does light up), the mask is terrible and quite uncomfortable for my son since it pinches the nose a bit too much. It left imprints after a couple of minutes. The main issue is that the eyes are so blurry he can't see where he's going. He's had it for a month, but still doesn't like it as much as the cheap batman suit we bought him for halloween, since they feel more like pajamas and have a soft mask.

Pros: The suit/cape and sword are high quality
Cons: The mask is poorly made, difficult to see out of and can pinch the upper nose

If you have a die-hard Star Wars fan who will care, then buy the costume separately and find a better mask if possible. Look around and you'll see they typically come individually.

If you have a Star Wars lover in your house then this is a great buy! I bought this for my 5-year old son and he got so much use out of it! The great part was that he could put it on by himself! The seams have all held up very well and the light saber, though basic really completes the costume. The mask gets a little hot but lifts up easily since it's only a face mask. Hours and hours of pretend play!
