THE DARK SIDE IS COMING TO CHTARWARS V… 

We are incredibly excited to finally announce…

DMITRIOUS BISTREVSKY IS COMING TO CHTARWARS V! 

On 7 & 8 November 2026 in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, get ready to meet one of the men behind the armour of the Dark Lord of the Sith in the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi series!

Dmitrious Bistrevsky helped bring Darth Vader to life physically on screen, alongside Hayden Christensen and stunt performer Tom O’Connell. With his impressive stature — standing nearly 2 metres tall — Dmitrious wore the iconic armour for numerous full-body shots, helping give Vader his imposing silhouette and unmistakable presence.

Taking on such an iconic character required considerable physical preparation. Dmitrious underwent months of intensive training, working on the posture, movements and physicality needed to embody one of the most legendary characters in cinema history.

And his journey in a galaxy far, far away didn’t begin with Darth Vader! 

Eagle-eyed fans may also have spotted Dmitrious in The Mandalorian, where he appeared as a Quarren in the very first episode of the series.

Beyond Star Wars, Dmitrious is an accomplished physical performer with a truly unique background. An actor, stunt performer and circus artist, his career has taken him through theatre, breakdancing, gymnastics and circus arts. His experience also includes working with prestigious companies such as Cirque du Soleil, before continuing his journey in film and television.
