He's right, we are overthinking it, but somebody posed a question and we discussed. That's the cool thing about Star Wars - lots to think about. Before the prequels, I actually found it quite cool to imagine what the real deal was with Vader, what happened to him, what goes on in his mind, etc.

War does not make one great.

And now that we've seen into the mind of the beast, we wish we hadn't, right?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Guys, you're all overthinking this.

It's his head.


Well, isn't that the nerd calling the geek obsessed? ^_~


Er, no. Not in any way I can figure out. If it helps, I was responding to the original and dominant topic of the "meditation chamber," not the tanget about his cranium.

I was just referring to the point that you usually deeply analyze things (which I generally find very cool), but I didn't mean it in a lambasting way.

No, but he was in pretty good shape for having gone through everything he did at the end of ROTS.
But what I meant was that Anakin was originally going to be much rougher than he was.

I agree that Anakin, in theory, should have been almost unrecognizable. The burns he suffered would have left his face a melted, scarred, horriffic mess to behold. But, I'm pretty sure they pulled back on his appearance in ROTJ because they wanted you to seeAnakin. There had to be some payoff. You wanted to get some sense of who he was and what he looked like. They needed to reveal a human being that the audience could relate to. Had he just looked like some melted ball of wax, it would simply have been yet another mask that gave no real indication of who Anakin was, so they pulled back the make-up so as to show us Anakin's face, while the surrounding scares implied that something horrible had happened to him.

On a related note, one other thing I hate about ROTS is how Anakin's trademark scars about his head and face just suddenly materialize with no apparent reason. Those aren't burn marks, they're deep cuts, and impact wounds. For all the thought that went into the make-up, the wounds should have made more sense.

Its not a medical chamber its a home entertainment center. After a hard day at Sith Industries, Darth takes off his helmet has a beer and watches the Imperial Womprats take on the Tuscan Raiders in the Galatic Bowl.

Here's a link to a still from the movie of the entire helmet (neck brace not included) being lowered onto his head.

Yep, doesn't look pink to me. Just pale with pink scars. Also kind of yellow in the yellow light.
