Darth Vader new suit

So I read somewhere a while back (don't remember where I saw it) that apparently around the time of ROTJ a new suit was being made for Vader that was more advanced and would give him more mobility, but he never got it because he died before it was finished. Does anyone know if this is true?

Legends or Canon?

Not sure, I don't even remember where I saw this it was a couple weeks ago. Just thought of it now for some reason.

Well in Legends, they were going to give him a new suit but they would have to disconnect his prosthetics and turn off his life support, so Vader opted not to do it. Sorry, don't know what source is that from, I just vaguely remember it.

Yeah you're right. He didn't want to take the risk that he'd be killed while helpless.

They should make him blue and white and give him lightning powers.


The creation and construction of the suit had been perforce hasty, since the maimed and burned thing that had been Anakin Skywalker was dying, and would not have survived for long even in a bacta tank. There had been no time to tailor all the life-support systems specifically to his needs. Many of the suit's features were adapted from earlier technology, such as had been designed for the cyborg droid General Grievous over two decades before. It was hardly state-of-the-art. It could, Vader knew, be rebuilt now and made infinitely better, more comfortable, and more powerful. There was only one problem with doing so: to be completely excised, even temporarily, from the suit would kill him. Not even the safety of the hyperbaric chamber-indeed, not even his command of the dark side-could ensure his protection during such a procedure.

Like it or not, the suit and he were one, now and forever.

There ya go, although I find it kinda bull he wouldn't survive the operation, but /shrug.

Haha weak @$$ Vader.

Interesting. Good looks
