That chest box has a red rocker switch and looks plastic. I think that's a Halloween/cosplay costume and not the screen-used R1 costume.
I saw this BTS pic and it's all the more baffling why they CGId him when they had the costume and half of the set too. Can't imagine that it wasn't easier and cheaper to build the other half of that set or to simply mirror the set for that one shot and have him walk over the bridge. All other shots are the real costume there.Hayden is the same height and similar build as Bob Anderson whom was in the Vader suit for the duels in 5 and 6, (About 6'1" or close) and they both had on lifts. I don't know what you are talking about him being too short. He towers over the Emperor there.
And here is a still from BTS on the ROTS Star Destroyer Bridge, which was only built in half part in ESB as well.

Anyhoos, probably weering off-topic here, my point was a reaction to the CGI robes debate and that CGI cape looks pretty damn bad.

Here's an excellent question that you all can discuss among yourselves. Why didn't the 6' 1" Bob Anderson just train David Prowse in the sport of Fencing so Dave could've fought Luke in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi?
Yup, George and Prowse did not get along very well, the relationship continually deteriorating throughout the filming of the trilogy. From what I understand, by the time of ROTJ, Prowse' involvement was the bare minimum needed. Body doubles were used for pickup shots, Bob Anderson for the saber fights, and so forth

I still do hold Lucas in high regard because he took all the risks.Ralph McQuarrie and John Williams have more to do with the success of Star Wars than George Lucas ever had and he pretty much stole the idea of The Force off of one of his old college buddies. Needless to say I don't hold Georgie boy in as high of a regard as other Star Wars fans do that's for sure.
Citation needed on the accusation of George stealing the force idea. Also if it weren't for George he wouldn't know Ralph McQuarrie and John Williams involved.
I DID read somewhere that Lucas stole the idea of The Force from a college buddies short film. I can't remember exactly where I read it. Plus even you can't argue that George ripped-off Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress (1958).
Have you watched the documentary "Everything is a Remix"?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWc

I'd like a citation too.Citation needed on the accusation of George stealing the force idea. Also if it weren't for George bringing them we wouldn't know Ralph McQuarrie and John Williams in regards to SW..
"I read it" isn't a citation.I DID read somewhere that Lucas stole the idea of The Force from a college buddies short film. I can't remember exactly where I read it. Plus even you can't argue that George ripped-off Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress (1958).
Now it's a fact? Sheesh! Back it up or you're just drinking your own Kool-aide.As a matter of fact I have watched a few videos by this YouTube channel and they are really good but I've not seen this particular one. But the fact remains that Lucas ripped something off from his college friend's own short film. I just thought that I'd bring it up.
