Lord Buckethead is an interstellar villain resembling Darth Vader, created by American filmmaker Todd Durham for the 1984 science-fiction film Hyperspace. The character was used as a novelty candidate in four British general elections from 1987 to 2019, portrayed by Mike Lee, Jon Harvey, and David Hughes. After Durham asserted ownership following the 2017 election, Hughes returned as the character in 2019 for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
