I’ve always disliked heavily battle-damaged images of Vader like this. For one it totally ignores the whole “he needs his mask and electronics boxes to live” thing (you know, like how Luke hesitates to take off the mask in ROTJ…). And for two, am I really supposed to believe that he was exposed to such enourmous trauma that it blew away and actually melted his shoulder and chest armor (that withstood a direct hit from Luke’s lightsaber in ESB) but his pasty white flesh underneath is just fine? It’s like having a grenade blow off a medieval knight’s plate armor leaving him standing around in his skivvies unscathed. It just immediately makes my brain hurt and my disbelief just won’t be suspended.
Sorry you feel that way
You gotta hand it to them tho. It looks like George Lucas had it planned all along that Anakin had his arm amputated.
