Darth Vader, the iconic villain from the Star Wars franchise, made a memorable appearance in Hinckley back in August 1983. The imposing character paid a visit to Wightmans store, much to the delight of fans young and old. As queues snaked down Castle Street, eager admirers eagerly awaited their chance to meet and greet this beloved yet feared figure. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as the latest Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi, had just hit cinemas worldwide. Darth Vader's presence added an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for those lucky enough to secure his autograph or exchange a few words with him. Mr Nigel Downes from Wightmans revealed that this special event was part of a promotional collaboration with Palitoy - renowned manufacturers of Star Wars characters and toys. It was evident that Darth Vader's dark allure transcended generations as children and adults alike flocked to catch a glimpse of this legendary cinematic icon. Dressed head-to-toe in his menacing black armor, Darth Vader posed for photographs while exuding an air of evil sophistication.
