I disliked that first Vader scene the moment I saw it and haven’t changed my mind since. Doubt we’re the only ones.
I remember thinking he wasn’t filmed from the right angle and James Earl Jones’s voice is not what it used to be. God bless the man, he’s just really old now. Maybe even the stand-in wasn’t very good.
The worst part about that scene though was that it was so gratuitous and unnecessary for the story. It was just a bunch of marketing people mandating Vader HAS to be in the movie somewhere, so here we’ll create some scenes just so we can show him on screen.
I didn’t have a problem with Vader in the last scene though. I liked it when I first saw it, but after reflection, I don’t think it fits in with the original story. Maybe they could have dialed it back a little bit, or somehow thought up the scene a little differently.
