Enyafreak, what disk did you see the trailer on?Anyone heard about Darth Vader having a somewhat different costume in episode 3?
As to what I hear, Vader is supposed to have a somewhat modified costume from the OT version. It supposed to be different from the OT's but recognizable. Again, this is what I hear.

Hopefully this is the truth. I wouldn't mind seeing a modified version of Vader, something new to look at, but I don't want it looking far to different (which isn't supposed to be the case). The one thing they have to keep the same no matter what to me is the helmet. Whatever else they do can be modified in my opinion. After all, it's likely that after 20 something years from Episode 3 and 4, Vader would get new armor.
I agree with the above comments. I would think that perhaps he would wear something less clunky than what we see in episode 4. Definately keep the helmet, maybe a slight variation in the facial mask though. Something that did not look as modern as things in the latter episodes. The reason why I say less clunky is that in episode 4, his fighting skills seemed to be substantially slower than what Anakin portrays in episode 2. With the help of The Force, he is still a fast and formidable enemy to all who stand in his way even though he has a mechanical arm. It would be difficult to pull this off with pounds upon pounds of machinery and reinforced armor. He needs to be covered just enough to sustain him and keep his indentity a secret. What do you guys think? I am hoping we see a fast, furious Vader that is every bit as mobile and agile as a healthy Anakin in his prime and not a slow decrepid Vader.
