Well surprisngly enough the actor behind the mask was infact not scarred and maimed No doubt the scarring was thought up in the last 5 seconds before shooting by George anyhow
The man you saw was David Prowse, the actor who portrayed Darth Vader in the suit for all three of the OT movies.
Vader's makeup and effects were only somewhat realized in the dome-scene in ESB, and even then, Lucas hadn't fully developed what he would look like under the mask.
Plus, the movie was made quite cheaply, you have to remember, so the helmet's eyes were probably made of some flimsy, see-through material.
Plus, the suit was originally just supposed to protect Vader as he boarded the Rebel Blockade Runner.
Yep. Vader was supposed to be the guy who killed Luke's daddy.
Vader's suit was just a space suit really, designed purely because the first scene with Vader in it would be a boarding ship-to-ship scene where the boarding party would need space suts of some sort.
It was only by ESB did they decide to make him into a robot dude who NEEDED the suit at all times, and actually turned him into Lukes father.
You are all wrong. The minor points (such as Vaders suit) might have been made as he went along, but GL had the main plot of the entire saga (Ot and PT) thought out before he made the movies.

GL deffinately planned Vader to be Luke's father. Watch Owen and Beru's scene in IV when Beru says "He has too much of his father in him." .. and then Owen says "That's what I'm afraid of."
Also, Vader wasn't supposed to be a robot... in IV, Obi-Wan says "He's more machine now than MAN."

This is true...we knew before rotj came out that darth vader had fallen into a burning mess, and that hegot totally screwed up...
No, you are wrong. Find one of the many sites with the original script on them, and read it.
GL is a good bullsh!tter, because his movies would have sucked the way he originally envisioned them....
When Owen said that, it was to back up Obi-Wan's statement of following Ben on a "damn fool-idealistic crusade like your father did".
And Ben said that in RotJ, the last film....
No. GL made that comment after RotJ, but he "always had it in his head". Originally, the final battle in RotJ was supposed to take place on a lava-world.
