i thought his hand and arms looked totally wrong in the trailer.
too damn scrawny

This is likely to be the bones of it......
He had minute little hands in the trailer shot and plenty of people noticed it on the net and were not shy in making their objections known..
..myself included... Now it could've been that the feedback reached 'em at ILM, or they weren't happy with it themselves or a combo of both...

But Im so glad they changed it..... 🙂

I think it was just a situation where there was absolutely no reason for his arms to be held up in the air. He was laying down when all of this transpired and one of his arms was chopped off... how would you fit the new mechanical arm on him with his elbow bent??? Anakin was unconscious and completely at rest.

It is also much more dramatic to see his hands come up into the air when he breaks loose than to have them come down. 😉

Yeah I guess so. I guess he did look more like a prisoner.

Heh, prisoner. Maybe they thought it looked cool, until they got the fan reaction. Should've showed that "nooooo" beforehand, maybe that could've been a grown 😛

yep, that's whati was thinking as well. He looked well too scrawny in the shot. Not to mention it would make absolutely no sense to put his robotic arms on bend in that position.

I wanted to see the "arms up" in the movie because I really wanted to know if they were fake arms or not. They look bent in the middle. Especially the right (his left) arm.

I think Christensen should have bulked up for this role. David Prowse was a bodybuilder, this Vader was a bit too scrawny.

This is exactly what i was thinking. And i don't mean he had to be like David Prowse, but even Ray Park seemed more buffed than him IMO...
