Ok, here's an issue that has been bugging me since i first saw general grievous....
GG has no body, look at him. it appears that he lacks any internal organs....he's just a head stuck on a robot.
now, GG has been described as the "prototype vader" right down to a similar "iron lung"...so what does that mean for vader? just how bad will vader be f'd up by the lava? and what will really be left of him when the smoke clears, and he is "more machine than man"?
when we see an unmasked vader in ep6, we only see above his jaw....barely. so whats he got from the jaw down?
i think its quite possible that he has...NOTHING
fact: it is officially explained that darth vader (mech) is 6'4" because of the mech suit...but wait a minute...that means he must have new legs, new arms(to be proportionate) and a new torso it would seem. its not like they just stretcth anakin on a rack, he gets much much bigger when he is vader.
OK....we HAVE seen the makeup test of fried anakin, but one thing cannot be avoided: when flesh is charred to the point which we have seen in that picture, its done for. its cooked well-done, and rendered useless. the force may be able to prevent death, but it cant turn a cooked steak back into a cow...not gonna happen.
i think that pic of anakin will be what he looks like before the repair droids remove 95% of whats human in anakin. point is, i think anakin will end up being nothing more than a.........head.
No, Obi-Wan is just being hyperbolic. Anakin most likely has at least a torso, left arm, and of course, the head. He could also have a good portion of his upper legs. Also Grievous isn't quite just a head. He also has a spinal column to go with it.
BTW, Anakin must also have a spinal column as he would need it, so that helps to support the idea of him having a torso.
ok then, i alter my arguement due to newly aquired knowledge.
i say that anakin/vader will end up being nothing more than a head and spinal column...which oddly IS just like robocop2, except the bad guy in that was just a brain and a spine...but close enough
well, here's what we know from what we see and hear:
-grievous is nothing but a head and spine attached to a robot
-grievous has vader's iron lung (or very similar)
-grievous is the vader prototype
-vader becomes 6'4" because of the suit
it HAS to be at least both legs gone, or vader would walk with a severe limp,
having one leg belonging to a 6'4" and the other 5'10" or however tall hayden is, i dont know (...im sure JP will chime in on that, as well as hayden's natural hair color, blood type, favorite color...etc )
....unless they just made the mech leg the same length as the organic, but then vader would seem to have short stubby legs, right?
What will be left of Anakin/Vader after The Duel?
