“All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men.”

–Darth Vader, Star Wars: Vader Down

Star Wars: Vader Down offers a vision of Darth Vader in all his determined, menacing, Sith glory. At one point he finds himself surrounded by a small army of Rebel troopers, and when they tell him to lay down his weapon, he ignites his lightsaber, replying that he is surrounded only by "fear. And dead men."

The scene is chilling. Like the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it reminds us just how fearsome the Dark Lord of the Sith actually is. He inspires not only fear, but awe. And this scene has inspired the prizes for the 2018 Star Wars™: Destiny Regional Championships.

Top 64

Like Darth Vader, when you attend a Star Wars: Destiny Regional Championship, you'll find yourself surrounded by a small army hoping to take you down. Then, if you're taking your cues from the Dark Lord of the Sith, there's no better way to respond to them than to ignite your lightsaber—and you'll be able to do just that with the alternate art version of Darth Vader's Lightsaber awarded to everyone in the Top 64.

Top 16

Darth Vader isn't the only character in the Star Wars galaxy with exceptional talents. The galaxy has seen countless Jedi, Sith, soldiers, smugglers, and bounty hunters, and if you fight your way into the Top 16, and you'll get two of these talented characters—Plo Koon and Mother Talzin—printed back-to-back on a double-sided plastic card.

Top 8

Battle all the way into the Top 8, and you'll earn the right to play your games atop a playmat full of fear. And dead men. With Darth Vader holding his signature lightsaber firmly in the foreground, this is a playmat that should notify your opponents that you're an adversary deserving of their utmost respect.

Top 4

The 2018 Star Wars: Destiny Regional Championships continue to draw inspiration from Star Wars: Vader Down with the Top 4 prize—a set of five acrylic shield tokens in the shape of Darth Vader's helmet. Printed on black, of course.
