Kenobi TV series Darth Vader armor and helmet

I'm not a big fan of Disney star wars but this has been seen before in the force unleashed he was absolutley wrecked and in the Lost command comics he didn't even have his breathing appartus in the last comic, and when he was getting his limbs attached, the thing I will have a go at Disney for is the fact that It took a smashed chest box and cut helmet to defeat him yet in legends nearly his entire suit was destroyed and he still kept on fighting, he had his entire helmet (neck brace included) gone and still carrys on fighting, he burried himself alive and yet willed himself back from the dead, as for the helmets importance it is still important because some ancient sith from the old republic were so disgusted by the humanity on there natural faces (this also applied to aliens) so they covered them with masks like 'Tulak Hord'

And this is why the EU, in any form, is terrible. ;)
 
Don't know if you are joking or not but EU is Expanded Universe in Star Wars circles
Yes, I know and yes it was a joke. I live in the UK so I guess if it really stood for European Union then we would have probably voted to leave Star Wars as well... *sigh*
 
Not sure if I saw these here or not. FBFX posted them on their Facebook page along with descriptions about making them for the show.

6'7" Dmitrious Bistrevsky plays Vader in shots when they want Vader's full height. He's actually slightly taller than Prowse, though he doesn't have the same proportions that Prowse did (dude was wide).
6'4" Tom O’Connell (pictured) is our new Bob Anderson. He's the primary performer for Vader's saber fights in Kenobi.
Meanwhile it seems Hayden Christensen may do Vader in shots that aren't full body, and obviously if the face is exposed.
All three of them wore the suit at times throughout production, similar to how Mando is also three different actors in the suit.
I specifically remember an online written interview with Bob Anderson, where Bob stated he was 6'1" and wore lifts as Vader, in some of the ESB/ROTJ behind the scenes photos he looked to have at least 2" lifts on his boots. Of course pretty much all of his scenes were with Hamill, who was about 5'8" at most. So it was easy to still "tower" over him even though he wasn't quite Prowse's height.
 
Something new from FBFX about the damaged Vader helmet.
