Vader Costume, New look or Old?

his chestplate offers constant diagnostics as to the function of his pulmonary, adrenal, and nervous systems (those 3 main lights). Lucas has said that he's 3/4th's mechanical without specefying how that's distributed. his heart and lungs are obviously still there though i'm sure a majority of his other organs have been replaced due to concussive organ failure from his massive fall (he doesn't exactly fall IN to the molten rock). and aside from the other prosthetic stuff that i've mentioned a billion times on this forum, I'm pretty sure that his eardrums and some of his teeth have been replaced after a head injury like that. other than that, his entire head, most of his spine, and the organs within his rib cage should have been fine for the most part.

Old vader all the way

with the rattly breath-box too

if he comes on dressed in leather or spandex or any other 'il just change this' thing...i will eat lucas

I'm sure the voice of Vader won't change, but the costume will. I think it makes total sense to have a modified costume. It is highly unlikely he will have sustained the same costume (armor) for 21 years without injuries or other casualties as someone mentioned earlier.

this is rumored to be the first image of a new Vader... many sites showed it up, with the news about a VADER FEATURETTE on the OT DVD

Nice photo. Haven't seen that one yet.

One thing they have done well in the Prequels is costume design, I think. Look at the Mandalorian armor update. Jango's suit is way sicker than Boba's(It helped that a bulkier actor was in the suit too). Not only did it look good, but it made sense. Boba Fett's armor was scavenged and old, but Jango's was in good shape since it was however many years earlier.

I think the same will be true with Vader's armor. In the OT, Vader had been wearing that armor for like over 30 years, so its gonna be a bit worn. For Ep 3 I think the armor will be immediately recognizable but it will look brand spankin new and bada$$. I hope the mechanical hand is used in the design, rather than covering it up with a glove or something.

Once the helmet is on, will it be Hayden inside, or a bigger actor?

hayden, as said somewhere else

Hayden Christensan is living so many peoples dreams - he gets to play Darth Vader for real.

LUCKY SOB.

actually, just being in a star wars movie is enough already 😉

If I had even two seconds of screentime in a Star Wars movie I would be the happiest guy in the world. Star Wars doesn't get bigger than that.
