Has @DINVADER said, there is a short featurette about Darth Vader here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ZHjiyUoWY
And here are some exclusive screen grabs ^^ :
It seems that there were plans to see Vader walking off his ship in the movie ... I hope we'll get a lot of cutscenes

Is it me, or does the costume look better in those behind the scenes shots than it looked in the actual movie?

So is the consensus that they actually did CGI the inner robe over his chest armor? Do angry fanboys really make that much of an impact? Is Disney here now? Can we has more Darth Vader movies, plz?

Come on, fellas. Are we really going to say this is worse than ROTS? Completely redesigned helmet and armor, with no offsetting benefit? ('Nooooooo') versus R1 with a bad cod(only visible in stills), actors without the chest measurements required, and inconsistent armor over/under robes? At least R1 redeems any issues with the slaughter scene none of us would have dared imagine. I'm still completely jazzed about the film and the upcoming DVD release.

And Bob Anderson didn't have a big chest either. People seem to forget about him in the original trilogy. Kermit Ellner wore the Vader suit in most of the publicity Stills for a new hope and I never had any idea it was him and not Prowse. And Kermit did not have a bodybuilders body or chest.
I'm no Vader expert, and I know the costume ain't perfect, but if I owned the R1 costume, I'd be happy as ****. Just my two cents.

Agreed...a decent chunk of ESB featured this version of Vader [emoji23]

That is a weird thing. Maybe they made the suit, and while shooting the movie they realized they were mistaking about the inner robe.
I don't know if it was an error from the CostumeDepartment or if it was a request from Edwards that occurred to change in post prod.
You're right, it looks closer to the ESB/ROTJ than anything else.
Something looks weird with the emitter shroud, though. Maybe it's just the pic. So much black, it's hard to tell what's what.

The emitter is heavily rusted. No proof the saber on the R1 visual dictionary is screen used. BUT the VD saber does have a weathered emitter... it seems the letter standings are missing though

I guess I can no longer live in denial!
The TRIED to match the prop... but they picked the wrong one. I'll take it over the MOM/ROTJ, but still... ONE TRIP TO THE RPF AND THEY'D KNOW BETTER.

I'd prefer and suggest we discuss the MPP based lightsaber in above thread and leave the rest of the Rogue One costume here ... any objections?

No it doesn't.
This is a cheap polyester costume cape with no weight and no drape...
My Rubies Vader put in the same setup as RO Vader.
