Rogue One Vader costume
- Thread starter Bryancd
- Start date
This went from Vader's Suit discussion to Roast Session quickly[emoji38]
The action in R1 from vader at the end was what we expected from ROTS but never got. To see him like this is in R1 put a large grin on my face.
I was actually about to ask you about that. I didn't even know that Bob Anderson did Vader. Very ashamed of not knowing that..[emoji22] .
Thanks for the info![emoji106]

John Knoll said he has a theory that Vader has multiple suits. When going into battle in ANH, he put on an old beater suit. When he goes see the Emperor, he puts on a newer suit.
We saw him out of his suit, so it seems plausible that he could put on different suits.
As far as the voice in R1 compared to ANH, maybe he gets more frustrated and angry by the time of ANH. He isn't exactly a patient guy.

And he was pretty mad at the fact that he had to go through the trouble he did in R1 to finally get to the Tantive.
Much like Tarkin, I thought Darth Vader was as good as we could expect. I really had no issue with the costume or the actor in the suit but he didn't 'move' like Vader in his first scene and that broke the illusion for me. The mask was really sharp and the gunmetal was crazy noticible when the helmet should 'look black'. When I watch the OT, even knowing the helmet as well as I do it 'looks black' on-screen. Plus I think all the shots of Vader in that scene were too close-up. They should have shot from behind Krennic looking upward to make Vader look like he was towering over Krennic.
I didn't mind the red lenses but what did bother me was the super-crazy high-end polished optical glass lenses they used. It looked like Vader was wearing googles over his mask.
The second Vader scene was perfect in every way. The only way to make it better would be to make it longer.

So, is everyone just gonna keep dancing around the issue, or will somebody just tell us flat out that their fan-made, replica Darth Vader costume is actually "better" than the actual screen-used R1 prop? :lol
But you still need one James Earl Jones. Time and time again it's been proven he is the only one who can sound like Vader. With so many people being able to impersonate a lot of celebrity voices, and SO many people on this planet, finding one who can pull off a good JEJ impersonation shouldn't be THAT damn difficult.

Hey all, when watching the movie did anyone else notice that the vader helmet had red tinted eye lens? Or was that just me?
Granted, my full size display Vader is a Frankenstein's monster of parts and armor. It's mostly ESB but with ROTS helmet (don't hate me, please!)
A few things I noted:
1) Vader's torso in the bacta tank; what we DID get to see of it (and the prop seen in the previous picture post), he doesn't seem to have any burn damage. He's only missing limbs and hair. Even the large scalp scar isn't prominent (like we see in ROTS, ESB, and ROTJ). Didn't know bacta was THAT good (I'm a physician in real life by the way, and I've taken care of burn patients in my training)
2) The R1 suit was an amalgam; they digitally put the inner robe OVER the chest armor after the fact (ala ANH), but used an ESB pain scheme for the breast plate. The chest box computer and belt boxes / belt are ANH. The cape is different. It looks like the body suit is similar to ANH. Could not see the saber hilt at all.
3) The R1 helmet, a new sculpt by Brian Muir, looked a little "wide" to me in the lower face and neck. It's like the ANH and ESB helmets had a baby.

They were red.
