Vader's Look in Episode III

Started by Member.4 pages

He was able to move in the OT. And GL will have a hard time making the Vader suit look rougher since the technology they have now looks so much more advanced than the OT.

for Dart Jello it aint all that hard
[spoiler]Episode II is going to be called 'Attack of the Clones'![/spoiler]

This would appear as:

Spoiler:
Episode II is going to be called 'Attack of the Clones'!

remember the / before the word spoiler in the last one

thanks, I don't think the idea of a new suit is necesary all bad as long as it looks gross. Back when I believed the hype, in my head I pictured the same basic shaped mask only gold, no helmet, and smooth gold body armor with visible joints, kind of like C-3PO only More battle worthy, flexible, and cool looking. The shoulders, elbows, and knees would have spikes on them and those cables on vaders back that you see during palpatine's lightning attack in ANH would be on the outside. also two thick breath going from either side of his face. to the same area as the tubes in his back.

Unless Anakin is totally messed up, then your idea won't work.

he is, again, look at the lightning in ROJ, No arms, no legs, broken neck, damaged lungs and organs, burns

The lightening scene is no indication of what he's going to look like. It was already fading when we got a good look at him, it didn't cover enough of him to make any sort of assumptions. Its not like it was some nice clear x-ray from Dr. 21-B's office now.

The suit has to be the same suit. Nothing different apart from it being light so whoevers in the costume(if not Hayden Christianson)can move easier. If its different, GL would be betraying the OT. He says there will be links between the PT and the OT. But there has to be one direct link - Vaders suit.

The suit should be basicaly the same. Would you want to be the one to transplant Vader into another suit and be the one to F' it up?

I agree.

go to TFN for enhancements of the lightning shots, they're pretty detailed and match both the old rumors and the new spoilers pretty well

but there are tricks of animation, tricks of the eye, the camera, possible mistakes. Its just not anything I would trust since, if it wasn't blatantly obvious on film, Lucas can change it because no one except for whoever had that much spare time to go over that skeleton like that would ever notice.

cables, and prosthetic shadows are there. force lightning seems to hurt people by primarily superheating the bones. therefore, anything that's isn't glowing or any black sillouettes must be mechanical parts

or just areas the lightening isn't hitting, as I pointed out it was fading by the time that shot is shown, Palpatine is on his way to splatty land and the lightening goes with him.

btw, if you look at ep 4 and ep 5, especially the helmet, vader does have a new suit between those two

I’m pretty confident that Vader will be in the film with the same suit we all know and love. I know a key reason why Lucas should go for this is if it was an alternate costume or an earlier version , we would have to read books and other EU explaining how the suit came to be. Lucas knows that there is a variety of audience some big fans and some who only know the movie . So I hope he will try to keep things fresh and still show signs of the OT. If he’s going to do anything that will make the Vader suit look different , I suggest that he not use a cape or have some sort of long cloth something like darth maul and his flaps over his pants. But hopefully not , I hope to see the cape and all. We should still realize that Anakin is still young , and the Vader suit could look youthful in a sense. He’s not yet a man of power and a figure of imperial control.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't Anakin turn to the dark side after he had to start using the armor? Also, didn't he get his various mechanical components over time, not all in the same accident?

well there is his arm... and he got lots of scars in the clone wars...but he was already a sith adept when he became mechanical

yeah, I always assumed he was Sith first, and that the fight would be the result of Obi-wan trying to get him back. In ROJ when Vader and Luke speak on Endor, Luke says he feels the good in him and for Vader to let go of his hate, to which Vader replies, "Obi-wan once thought as you do, you don't know the power of the dark side". Which for me means, Obi-wan tried to talk Anakin out of it at some point, or else Vader wouldn't know that Obi-wan felt that way. Its most likely the reason for the fight. And from what we've heard in the spoilers (if they are in fact true) he is most likely Sith before the fight, but, whether or not he's actually called Vader before or after the suit is yet to be seen. I got the new Insider in the mail this week, there's a shot of Ewan and Hayden fighting (in street clothes for practice) and Hayden is using a red one, Ewan blue. That may or may not mean something. In episode 1, the blades were all red or green for the real saber the actors held, but in II, they actually used the color the character would have. if that has held true, then it is likely Anakin has already switched to the red crystal before the fight.

Darth Jello--There are even subtle differences in the helmet between 5 and 6, the mouth piece slopes in more and there are some other very obscure changes. He also wore his robes differently between 4 and 5. They did show his suit slightly upgraded (through the helmet) in the OT, so it stands to reason the suit will be slightly different. i'd personally like to see some exposed cables and tubes, to make it look more low tech than the (already low tech looking) OT version. But the helmet's overall design will most definetly look the same, maybe they'll use some of the concept art of him to give the viewer a sense of his suit evolving, since it will be from how the designs evolved on their own, naturally.

Heres a question , You know asajj ventress she was more endulged in the dark side then anakin was, practically a dark jedi. She says she is a sith but dooku begs to differ by saying sith have no fear and therefore you are not a sith. But anakin is a full on jedi and with in a short amount of time is promoted to sith like nothing. How can this be anyone know , is it just Palpatines already strong interest in Anakins potential or is there something more. Something to make him a sithlord rapidly , perhaps the slaying of Count Dooku and thus prooving himself?

ok, first mephisto- if you read the ROJ novilezation, Vader had already turned but obi-wan didn't think he was beyond redemption. His injuries forever burned the dark side into him. anakin died and vader was born.

and for the Assajj question- I kind of like to think of Dark Jedi as Sith wannabees. Sith is not a rank you reach, it is just knowledge of the dark side more extensively and the knowledge of unique techniques through teachings of both the sithlords and the original magic of the sith race. It also involves complete control of your fear. so anakin was a sith from the beginning because he was palpatine's apprentice. Assajj simply knew how to tap into the dark side and didn't know of the sith practices, also she was originally trained by a jedi master who was marooned and died. therefore, she is a self-taught Rogue/Dark Jedi
