UNANSWERED QUESTION ABOUT VADER

well i am sure he could have survived without the suit. he would have just had to wheel an oxygen tank around. first i dont think sidious thought he would be cery threatening with that on. second, it would have been hard to chase down rebel scum with it being wheeled behind him. the opted to go with the suit. it seems pretty ovious to me why.

I'm probably going to investigate this further... just because... but I can tell you that, upon my last viewing of the building scene, you can hear Vader wheezing just before the mask fits into place. I would also speculate that the reason he can't breathe on his own is because he breathed in while he was on fire. Fire feeds on oxygen, and breathing fire into your lungs will cause it to burn them from the inside. Still, I may seek out some more info on this soon. His screaming on the table wasn't as full of breath as it could've been. I figure that, at that point, his lungs were failing & would soon deteriorate to the point where he couldn't breathe at all, so before that happened, he was fitted with the suit that breathes for him.

OK from a truely madical point of veiw.. i worked in an ER for animals for about a year.. I saw a few cats and dogs that had been in fires.. some badly burned and some from smoke inhaltion.. and all of them could still wimper, moan, bark, and meow!.. and some of the same died shortly after. The problem is that the lungs can't heal themselves.. Once damage is done it is done and it gets worse with impurities etc.. also look at the fact that Anakin laid there for a while. constantly breathing in all that smoke around him (causing further damage to his lungs), and if you look at his chest he is breathing and heaving heavely.

Yea. He probably could'nt survive any prolonged period of time without his suit. Besides, he would just look plain ugly without anyways.

thanks kremzike and p skywalker , its a bit clearer now

Whats more annoying is why didn´t vader ask Palpatine to heal him, especially after hinting he learned some secret life creating technique from his master who he killed in his sleep.

If you look when he is being brought into the lab he has an oxygen mask on, so i think it is pretty obvious that he needs it for extened periods of time, and if he did not have the Vader mask he would definitly die in a short while.
Another stupid thread.

He inhaled the hot ash/fire and it damanged his lungs.

He can still breathe, but it's very hard, and after a while, he will die.

Vader, without some breathing equipment, suffers from one huge asthma attack. He can live without it for a while, but after a while he'll just choke.

WHY DO YOU CARE IF IT IS A BAD THREAD OR NOT ., I JUST WANT AN ANSWER . and i think you only said this to impress other members or something . who gives a crap if i start a thread , its not the end of the world .and if you ask me its a good question ,obviously i didnt know the answer ,so i asked , big deal its only a thread,.............

He wasn´t that good looking after getting all burnt up, I´d wear a mask if I was that ugly.

Mind you considering the technoloical level of the star wars galaxy, cloning going on and all that plus Sidious´s boast about "creating life" they should have been able to replace a few limbs and stick some bum skin on his face. And with breathing, well look at the robots, they could have surely put an artificial lung in him.

Best not forget its not real, just a movie

The suit he is in probably does a lot more then help his breathing also. It probably is an air purifier also to clean the air he breaths, and also probably has more features.

Consider the technology in star wars times. Mechanical limbs that function as well as real limbs, death stars, lightsabers, etc... The suit isn't what is keeping him alive. The suit just makes him regain the strength he had before the accident and makes him able to rule the empire still. Vader is a lot like Grevious in that sense. More machine then metal, but still functional killers.

Think of the suit more as helping him become stronger then he was before through advanced technology, rather then the suit keeping him alive.

but he is screaming his lungs out. that alone is really a sign of his breathing.

Your not seriously going to try and introduce logic into a star wars movie are you?

Precisely. Its not real.......

Sidious shoulda just given him a bacta bath.
