Vader Costume, New look or Old?

So which do you prefer to see? Vader with a new look in Episode 3, or his classic armor?

As for me, I wouldn't mind seeing a slightly modified version as to what I hear it could be.

I'd like a certain rick mccallum coment involving the relation between vader and grievous to be true.

What sort of relation between Vader and Grievous? Am I missing something? 🙂

mccallum said we'd see elements of the costume in episode 3. there are also rumors that parts of grievous are recycled into vader's body.

Thanx for clearing that up Jello. I didn't hear about that rumor. That would be awesome if some of Grievous' parts are recycled into Vader's body, that would be sort of be a neat twist, not plot wise, but a twist about Vader's components.

it would also add fuel to my theory that the new order galaxy may think grievous and vader are one and the same.

That may be true as well. Oh how anxious I am for Episode 3!!!

I'm hoping for a slightly modified Vader suit, as long as the helmet is the same or more McQuarrie-esque I'm happy, the change the helmet and that'll be the biggest mistake of the century.

Vader will be the Vader we all know, blinking lights and all.

I think even George Lucas doesn't have delusions of grandure so bad that he would change Vader even REMOTELY at the risk of being mauled by a herd of Star Wars nerds.

Maybe you're right, but there has been news that Vader's look will be modified from the OT version.

One of the extras on the OT DVD's will be a sneak peek at Episode3, which will have a first glimpse at the new Vader costume. I think it would be cool if it would in incorporate elements from Grevious, ANH Vader and a samurai style.

I'm hoping he's classic Vader all the way. Same suit, same everything - it's what we've all been waiting for...........

I doubt it will be the same exact suit.

1. Some of the intrique would be missing if we simply see the same old suit. They won't completey change it, but I don't believe it will be a carbon copy.

2. It makes sense that during the Jedi Purge and the 21 years between episode III and IV; Vader would have made certain upgrades and or would have sustained minor injuries that would have warranted a change and/or additions to his suit.

Man its 21 years?

Lucas really screwed up on making his prequels as consistent as the OT didnt he?

I don't think it will be blatantly like grievous, I meant that under the glove, parts of grievous' arm frame might be used or something like that. on of the hyperspace pics does show hayden's stunt double out of focus in the vader suit, it looks somewhat similar but it's hard to tell

Yeah thats why I think it will be classic Vader

If bits of grievous are used to form vaders skeleton that would be sweet.

It would be like Adam and Eve:

Vader:"Aww man I lost a rib, Grievous give me one of yours"

Grievous: "What? No you can't just do th.....OWWW!"

Vader: "There we go, good as new."

Yeah, we all knew Vader was God.

but how does he eat, he cant take of his mask or he'll die so how does he survive?

i'm guessing intravenously, using a catheter and colostomy to fullfill the other part of his alimentary canal

I think that it would be terrible if parts of grievous ended up in vader
I think that would take away from the thought of him being so powerful and it would always taint the image of vader... to have to think about grievous everytime seeing vader in the OT ... and to give anyone the idea that vader would not be as strong without these parts, that would be horrible

I think Vader could take off his mask in a hyperbaric chamber, ala ESB. He would have to wash and have whats left of his original body examined periodicaly, probably by droids.
