FanEdit.org user CommanderBen sent me another mockup of the Vader scene using the Japanese dub. I figure it’s worth another go-round to assess everyone’s opinion. I could see it working, so please leave a comment if you have any opinion about this one way or the other. It has to be superior to the alternative of leaving the scene alone in order to use.

On the one hand, it’s still kind of stupid and he sounds like he’s gargling mouthwash. But the sound is consistent with the first grumbling he makes (present in this and the English dub).
I would be curious what someone who has never heard either version might think of their relative awfulness.
