Is Darth Vader really taller than Mewtwo?
Darth Vader measures 2.02 m (6.63 ft) from the ground up, and Mewtwo measures 2 m (6.56 ft) from the ground up. Darth Vader leads by 2 cm (0.8 in), 1%, which is too little to see until the two share a ground line. Put the other way round, Mewtwo covers 99% of Darth Vader on the axis both are judged on. Darth Vader and Mewtwo are both written in single metres, and the 1% between them is the whole of the difference.
| Object | Real size | Axis measured | What the figure covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darth Vader | 2.02 m 6.63 ft |
Height | Star Wars |
| Mewtwo | 2 m 6.56 ft |
Height | Ground to highest point |
Both figures, Darth Vader and Mewtwo, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which is exactly why the 1% between Darth Vader and Mewtwo slips past: at this size the eye compares whole outlines, and the figures above compare one axis. A gap of 1% is invisible without a shared baseline: on the ground line above, Mewtwo stops 2 cm (0.8 in) short of Darth Vader.
What each figure covers
Darth Vader. The figure is the character in armour, which is the only way he is ever seen. The armour adds several centimetres over the man inside it, a detail the films make a point of.
Mewtwo. Mewtwo is quoted at its official entry height, unchanged since 1996. It is taller than most people remember, because it is almost always drawn crouching.
Darth Vader and Mewtwo are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, Darth Vader at 2.02 m sits within a quarter of Master Chief at 2.18 m, Gandalf at 1.8 m and C-3PO at 1.77 m. Mewtwo at 2 m has Master Chief at 2.18 m and Gandalf at 1.8 m for company, within a tenth. Swapping any of those in for Darth Vader would move its ratio to Mewtwo by less than 25%.
