SORRY....The no is weak because it is poor delivery and a weakly directed scene. I don't see how that can be rationalized.
I think it's good for one important reason. The concept of Star Wars was always that of the old serials, like Buck Rogers. The OT had a certain aspect of that in it. The PT is very shiny and polished and modern. I didn't realize this until a few hours ago but think about it...
One of the biggest problems with the PT is that the atmosphere and the overall style is so modern compared to the OT so it seems out of place. Starting with the Frankensteiny, "Nooo!" scene, everything seems to go back into a more old-fashioned style. ESPECIALLY with that scene. I think it makes a GREAT transition because of this, and I think that's the point.
I havent read thru this post to see if someone said same but this is my thought on this....not bad for Vaders first mechanical voice and movement...bout what i expected....cmon what would you do if you were in Annies postion...you wouldnt be half as graceful in movement or thought(voice)...I would have busted the cuffs and fell on my face...lol!!!
What's stupid about people's whining and nitpicking is that they fail to see and understand the context of what is being presented in this particular scene.
Vader here is not the same Vader as presented in the OT...to say 'oh I lost all respect for Vader' etc, all while forgetting that he'd just been used like a tool, abused, and been through physical and emotional armageddon, is simply pathetic.

Excellent observation!

People this is when Darth Vader is still human he isnt fully evil until A New Hope come on people.
Actually I think it was at that very moment that Anakin truley becomes Darth Vader, fully accepting his fate. Padme was his last link to the name "Anakin" because that is who he was with her. Notice that when she called him by his name, after Sidious had renamed him, he never corrected her by saying somthing like "That name no longer has any meaning for me".

True, even when fighting Obi-Wan he responds to Anakin.
