How to Vader-ize your JBL speakers
September 22, 2006
Everybody says how much the JBL Creature II speakers look like Darth Vader.
So here’s how to do it for real.
MATERIALS
- Vader mask image (I used this one.)
- Printer
- Scissors
- Roll of tape
INSTRUCTIONS
Print out the Vader image and then follow the diagram below.
RECOMMEND USAGE
- Don’t own these speakers? Try pranking a friend or office buddy.
- Try playing Star Wars music or Vader sound clips — Vader on Vader!
- Print out “little Vaders” for the satellite speakers
CREDITS
- Thanks to Eric Miller for being my first victim
- The Vader image is from an auction on eBay.

Awesometown. I like the effect.
How big did you print the image? What were its dimensions on the paper?

I’ve never seen those speakers before, but that is so necessary. (I didn’t realize the mask image you used was a stock thing; I should have.)

The original image is 600 x 631 pixels.
When I print it out on my Mac using Safari, it winds up filling a standard letter-size piece of paper. Once printed (but before cutting), the full mask graphic should be 8 by 8.5 inches.

For a more polished look, you could cut the image out of white contact paper and apply it to the speaker.

I found this prank to be totally awesome! Try remote triggering Star Wars .wav clips from the command line using the unix asciiplayer on macosx. It really steps this up to the next level.

Kewl.
For owners of the white Creature speakers, just invert the image before printing, and you get Anti-Vader.
May the Force be with you, always.
