I know a couple of really good amateur/semi-pro photographers, and we did a quick 10-minute shoot as a response to the original "Stormtrooper Exige" pic that's been going around the internet.  They had come out to one of my tech day parties, and we just whipped these pics up.  You can see more of their stuff at http://kinod.net

I just wore the Vader helmet along with my usual all black outfit, and it all just came together.  The Vader helmet was purchased the day before from a local Halloween/costume store that's open all year round.  It was a fairly cheap mask, costing about $35.

Haha, the comments are great
