5 Mins of voice over dialogue could be lots of on screen time for Anakin in the suit. The trilogoy is about how Anakin becomes Vader not Vader himself. As long as the movie ends with Anakin in the suit for a good 10 mins of screen time then I will be happy. Seeing Anakin make the switch from the good side to the dark side of the force is going to be more fun for most people than seeing him in the suit.
Seeing Vader back on the big screen is the climax of the trilogoy so having him in the suit for more than 10 mins of the final movie would serve no purpose.

Do you ever hang out at the Sweetheart Inn?Anyway - not worth compainin' over this Vader thing yet. Save the complaints for later after the movie's out!
And with any Vader, I'll be happy. As long as Jones gets to voice him. ✅
Spoiler:
THE SOX JUST SCORED 5 RUNS!! 😄
I can't believe after ALL THIS, all we get is 5-10 minutes of Vader suited.
So, lets see, that's about 1% of all the things we would have liked in the Trilogy that actually materialised.
What a waste.
All that anticipation, the constant teasers in the previous episodes posters, and we get 2 minutes of James Earl Jones voice?
It sounds like I'm whining because, well, I am.
I'm sorry, but that sucks, what a screwjob. (my opinion).
the curse of the gambino lives on 😛
not much can be confirmed, but JEJ's quote shoots vader's time far above 2 minutes. GL cuts out superficial scenes. vader is the focus of the film, and well...he's the focus of the whole saga. so i doubt any scenes of lord vader will land on the cutting room floor.
It really would be a bit off in my opinion if after all the hype and years of waiting we only get Vader for a few minutes. Better than nothing of course, but if your going to this sort of length to hype basically what the whole of the prequels are about (how Anakin becomes Vader) it really would be screwing over the fans.
Of course not every scene with Vader in has to have him talking. After all JEJ isn't really needed for the Vader breathing sound......
I suppose what makes me paranoid is if as I fear we only get a short amount of Vader, Lucas will have made a fortune. Remember before the prequels there was no hyperspace etc..... We would probably be still be waiting for the original trilogy to be released on DVD (unless of course piracy got so bad they had no choice) Although piracy was one reason I truly believe that the DVD release was only part of the massive marketing and hype for ROTS.
Damn I just read the above and you can tell I am having a bad day can't you?? PMSL.

This is what gets me, the fact that we are speculating over the fact that Vader may get more than TWO whole minutes of screen time?
Should we be grateful even if he gets five minutes? Ten minutes?
I'd consider 15 minutes to be bloody cheap. After all that, 15 minutes of Darth Vader? Even 15 minutes is bordering on Screwjob City.
The kick in the teeth is the fact we are looking at TWO minutes here. That's a f**cking joke. Jar Jar bloody Binks got more than that.
Do something Lucas, delete all of General Grievous' bits for all I care. I can't believe a creation like General Grievous is likely going to have more screen time than Darth Vader.
Lucas better do a powerful scene, not some corny, cliched CGI filled bluescreen crap where Vader looks like he's been painted onto an operating table of some sort. Gyaaaargh!
Two. Minutes. If this is true I am expecting a world-wide, collective "BUUULLLSHHIIITT!" primal scream to echo across the globe on its premier.
That's it, I'm convinced, Lucas is the REAL Darth Sidious and is turning his loyal followers to the dark side.
