Veggie Sith Lords

Learn to Carve Your Very Own Carrot Darth Vader

A carved-out vegetable normally entails a fancy flower, a phoenix or a bird, but none of these designs will ever come close to the epicness that is the Carrot Darth Vader.

A Japanese sushi chef by the name of Oki has decided to put a sci-fi spin on culinary presentation by creating the Carrot Darth Vader. The details are all there, from the helmet to the uniform to the belt. Each piece was individually hand-carved, so you can definitely appreciate the time and craftsmanship that went behind transforming a normal carrot into one of the most iconic villains of all time. The cape is made from seaweed and the epic smoke effect you see is dry ice.

If you've got a bit of time on your hands, head over to Oki's page, grab a carrot and carve your very own Darth Vader now!
