1980 Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader Boba Fett Glass
$24.00
This 1980 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader and Boba Fett collector glass was made as part of the Burger King and Coca-Cola promotional glass series.
I like this one because the artwork still does the work. Darth Vader and Boba Fett fill the wraparound design, with strong red, blue, black, gold, and white graphics. The opposite side includes printed Darth Vader character text and additional Imperial artwork.

Condition
The glass presents very well. The rim and glass surfaces feel smooth, with no chips or cracks reported. The printed colors remain bright, and there is no reported dishwasher fading or food staining. Light surface wear may be present from handling and age, but there is nothing in the supplied photos that distracts heavily from the artwork.
Collector's Notes
- The glass is dated 1980 and carries the Lucasfilm, Burger King, and Coca-Cola markings. Those markings make the promotional origin easy to identify.
- Darth Vader and Boba Fett share the main artwork. That character pairing gives this design a different look from the other glasses in the Empire Strikes Back promotional series.
- The printed character text remains readable on the reverse. It gives the glass more visual interest than a simple character portrait.
- Bright graphics matter on printed vintage glassware because dishwasher wear can leave the design pale or patchy. This example retains strong color and is better suited to display than one with badly faded artwork.

Disclaimer
All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece, please review them carefully, as they are part of the description.
I do my best to capture colors accurately, but your monitor or device screen may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.
Please Note:
These pieces come from estate collections and have been surface cleaned. You may wish to perform additional cleaning depending on your preference.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
