Is it just me or does the new suit look more...streamlined than it was in the OT? Now obviously the suit had to be adapted for Hayden's slimmer build, but in comparison to the original suit it seems to look so much cooler. But this makes you ask why these changes were made from the end of Ep III to the beginning of a New Hope. Someone already stated how the helmet seems straightened and the hints of silver in the face plate, but the other shots show the chest plate which looks much smaller than I remember it being in the OT. Oh well, looks badass to me!
The "ANH" Darth Vader costume:
-Armor looked dull black
-Upper chest plate all black
-Helmet had red lenses
-The cloak went over the upper torso plate
The "ESB & RoTJ" Vader costume:
-Armor looked glossy black
-Upper chest plate striped black and silver
-Helmet had black lenses
-The cloak went under the upper torso pate
If you analyze the "RoTS" Vader suit, you will see that is closer resembles the "ESB & RoTJ" suit than it does the "ANH" suit, which doesn't make sense. Why would he have that suit in "RoTS," make a few changes in "ANH," then change it back in "ESB" and "RoTJ?"
Still, I agree that it does look badass.
I have to agree with there NOT being any continuity with this Vader, It is WAY more ROTJ than even close to ANH,
You also forgot to mention the ANH has a point that comes down the middle on the dome, As well as a smaller bottom vent, ESB and ROTJ cut off the point and made the vent bigger, There was NO red lenses in any of the helmets....
NO continuity what so ever............

dunno if anyone is interested at all, but a small chain called movie gallery will prolly have the OT DVDs available for rental within the next 3 weeks.
How is that possible? Don't get me wrong, that would be way cool, but officially they are not supposed to be released until Sept. Just wondering how they could do that.

I don't think it matters much, no need to be anal on specifics, its the image of Vadar that matters and as far as we know at the moment, we'll only see Vadar in the suit for the very end part of the movie.
Continuity and movie flow IS important, But again Lucas does not like ANH very much so I guess your right it does not matter much to him ...
again don't want to interrupt the flow of topics, but according to the clerk, they have a deal with certain studios to get movies at least one month ahead of time. the chain is called movie gallery. unfortunately, the one i go to (i'm not aware of others in the state) is a formerly independent rental place that used to be called video update and they're still "modernizing" it (ie. selling really great old VHS movies and very slowly replacing everything with DVD, except the porn, they have more porn then anything). so on the one hand, they're current selection is pretty bare, on the other, i can attest to seeing Hellboy there on June 28th (still haven't seen it, debating wether i should). so will they have it? I'll check em out in mid august and report my findings.
ok guys, honestly does it matter THAT much if the suit is glossy, not glossy...I mean really who gives a damn? I find it hard to believe that ANYONE is going to be sitting there watching ROTS and at the moment Vader appears their first reaction is going to be..."well the suits all wrong" 😖
more than likely we are all gonna go OOOOOO COOOOOOOOL! 🙂 🙂
has anyone ever thought that vader has several suits and masks that he changes like clothing, or that he may have changed suits after they were damaged at the end of ANH and ESB? I'm pretty sure that several of the jedi he hunted down got enough good shots in to at least require him to make a few changes and replacements to the suit in the 20 years between episode III and IV.
