I like the Vader audible reactions, it shows he still feels some pain, even being as much machine as he is. But go back and listen to the original pre SE editions of the vhs tapes or maybe even the pre SE dvds (Which I don't have.) Vader's Carbonite groans sounded like two different ones, in the SE's they both sound more or less the same.

I believe he does feel pain, but then again, why is it even important to know? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you're implying that it's important we know he's a sentient being. We already know that from the scene in the meditation chamber when the helmet is replaced on his head. And if there's any doubt after that, we'll know for sure when it's revealed that Vader is indeed Luke's father. Why do you need other, superfluous parts that don't go along with the character anyway?

I realize that a lot of it comes down to opinion. I see it from your point of view for sure, and figured I'd share my point of view on the matter. Really, I'm not trying to debate anybody. What I am trying to do is help them to open up their minds to other possibilities, which I think will really in turn help this project. We'll be taking all sorts of awesome things into account. Anyway, you have my view now.
