What will be left of Anakin/Vader after The Duel?

Hmmm, yes he did. Marquand directed the shoots (the thing Lucas doesn't like) but Lucas was in charge of the post-production. He said that many times. The skeleton is clearly post-production work.

Didn't Kershner or somebody say that Lucas actually directed much of that?
The movie, I mean.

Anyway, most of Anakin is in the suit, he just isn't in great shape after being
broasted by volcanic heat......

Good point queeq.

It's true. Lucas hates the fiming itself, he likes pre-production and post-production, but not the filming. The reason he does it now because it's too personal for him to let other do the work he doesn't like. PLus with all the digital stuff he can alter anything he didn't like during the shoot, even facial expressions.

That's kind of creepy when you think about it.....

Yes it is... makes you think... and worry.

Just think if he could apply that to the OT.....

Or if he would. He might you know.

He has a respirator of some sort, and those pics on that site were never meant to be examined that closely. As for Lucas demanding detail, again, he probably never envisioned a bunch of geeks wasting their time with that.
Those hinges don't stand out when watching the film: I've seen it enough times.....
It didn't need to be realistic to look good in that scene.

OK, now you all need to sit back and think about this

2 words JANGO FETT

only by watching 3 frames, thats right!!! 3 frames
can you see that his head fell out of the helmet.
i never noticed till i watched the scene frame by frame.

GL puts details in every frame, and sometimes he puts
too much detail in to few a frame. another example would be
quigon/obiwan's force-running....way to quick. you blink, you miss it.

plus, too much detail is in the mech parts, it makes no sence.
the skull is COMPLETELY realistic, almost looking like they robbed a
real head from the morgue. why would he put so much detail in the skull and
bolt it on with parts from straus auto????

think again

maybe lucas has changed his mind since then,
but when rotj came out, those metal parts and tubes were meant to
be there.

Oh yes!

YEAH!!! YEAH!!!!!! 😛

i don't mind the specifics, as long as he's right royally f****d up.....

but the pic everyone's seen has a torso (albeit scarred beyond recognition)....to me it seems it's mainly about missing limbs....there's no point looking for too much logic, we're playing under star wars rules here....does anyone really know what a bacta tank can do?....

and that was a retorical question.....if i come back tomorrow and there's 16 pages here on how bacta tanks work.....

well, you see guiro, the way a bacta tank works is that it........ahhh never mind 😛

Ah the great Bacta Wars J/K

I think we've already seen what's going to left of Anakin.
Maybe those cheap, non-bionic looking parts were supposed to be there but it looks like one of those classroom skeletons to me. Those pics weren't meant tolooked at that close and the people at Force.net need a life....

Looking at those pictures again, I think the mechanical parts are the parts holding the fake skeleton together. In 1982, Lucas didn't count on a group of nerds at Force.net going to the extreme that Trek fans are known for....

dude, your point is taken.
(no offense intended, but its a debate)

Um, yeah, I noticed its a debate. I was debating.....
What can be seen on that skeleton doesn't look like bionic parts to me, that's all.
We're getting off-topic somewhat. Most of Anakin's body is apparently still there just in bad shape, minus more limbs according to Lucas.

can you post that quote?

No, it was a while back, but he said something about both legs being bionic, an arm. Can't remember where, though. Sorry. I've got to dig through my Insiders and make notes, I guess.
