Shouldnt Vader look less cool in EP3?

wouldnt it be more logical to have a less flashy looking vader suit in ep3?
most of the pics we have seen, although none confirmed as authentic, make vader look cooler and more modern and i feel that is the plan of lucas. i mean its a prequel so techonology should be less advanced if anything?
i know this isnt what the fans want to see but i think they could make it kool by having half of anakins burnt face showing when he first goes into the suit, and perhaps sideous offering the promise of a more advanced suit in the future.
or i suppose these idea could be totally discounted by a theory that the vader suit originally looked abit better but faded with age.
over to you guys

now I totally agree with you on this point.......in many ways TO ME it seems like the prequels are more advanced technology wised, and it should be the other way around I would think

I'm with you guys but according to GL it is to show the decay of the Galaxy under Palpatine... In one of the preview screenshots of the opening sequence of Ep 3 they show a large spaceship that looks very close to an Ep 4 Ship except it has painted symbols on it... hopefully Ep 3 will have a closer feel to the OT

i totally agree with u duffy, but like u sed, fans would hate it....i wouldnt giv a damn, i jus want to see the anikan vs obi1 fight 😉 , n also, c'mon it wuz the 70's. everything looks alot better now cuz of the technology of movie making (cgi, green screen, cameras etc etc), even if it wuz a prequel. gl wznt purposely gunna make TPM crappy becuase of the OT looked crappy

It what ways? Yeah so the little roller droids have force fields on them so what. I think what possibly could be making you believe the OT looks less technologically advanced is probably stuff like: Computer screens, the display thing on yaven 4, death star plans. I would'nt worry about man. For three reasons: 1) these things have probably been changed for the ot dvd, or will sometime in the future. 2) the galaxy turned to ass crack, and the Empire gets all of the cool toys while every one else gets to scrounge around with primitive technology. 3) George just felt like doing it that way, and your going to like it anyway because you love Star Wars too much to not watch it anymore. 😄

i think it makes alot of sense to have the prequels LOOK more tech. advanced, its kinda like what happened to the polish countries during WWII.

well now I wouldnt say that! I was there for the debut of ANH and it was awesome.......for that time..

Yeah I'm sure it was awesome at the time, but compared to now, if he made TPM look that way it wouldn't seem modern, but It'd bring back the old feel I guess. 😉

the OT has the effects of 20 years of tiranny and civil war. That's why the PT seems to be more shinny and bright than the OT

I never thought of that! good point 😉

I'm just looking forward to darth I don't care about the way he is going to look all I know it is going to be great.

I agree that the rebels having crappy tech isn't a problem, and they do show the the Empire has the nice hologram and larger, cleaner ships. Also, when things are made for military purposes, there's less of a need for aesthetics. Just look at what happened to the humvey, it went from being a mean metal looking jeep thing to a prissy shinny fashion statement for rich people. Lucas' original idea to make the Empire be the evil of "industrialization" still stands even with the PT because the empire is less interested in artistic designs. They want ruthless efficiency. But Vader should DEFINETLY look more low tech because the put him together so fast. He should maybe have some wires visible or something. And in ANH, he wore his robes OVER his chestplate. Something they don't seem to be doing this time around from the glimpses we see. (just a little annoyance for me, feel free to ignore it). But Lucas is showing some of the stuff as more low tech. LIke Anakin's droid arm is just that, where as Luke had a nice realistic looking hand. He only wore a glove over it after he got a hole shot in the skin of it on Jabba's sail barge. Anakin seems to be wearing the glove to cover up the fact that his arm now looks like 3PO without his coverings. It does all seem a little inconsistent. You almost have to stretch explainations a little to make the PT okay. I understand the decay of art for industrialization but some things shouldn't be so advanced.

Even though I guess it makes more sense to have the Vader outfit not as good-looking, I dont really care. I want to see the Vader outfit from ESB, which had more of a shine to it on the helmet. The one from A new hope looked like it was made of clay, even though, dont get me wrong, it was still cool. Im just soooo glad that the Ep3 Vader looks similar to the OT Vader. I thought that they were going to mess it up big time and it would ruin Vader's menacing visuals....

Well, there was a pic of someone sculpturing the costume or something along those lines, and it appears that Vader looks similar to the OT, but you never know what they might do with it once they put all the finishing touches on.

it would be cool if he didint even have the helmet to start off with , kills some jedi get injurded again and gets the helmet , thats just what i think though..

True, they could chrome plate Vader's costume if they wanted to.

Or maybe something in nice pastel colors, a la Miami Vice?

all it is is an excuse to show off the advanced special effects technology 😬
