Why?
"well for one there is something just not right about Vader's appearance in ROTS. Hayden just does not look right in the costume. His portrayal is just not Vader. look at the end scene when they are looking at the Death Star. he folds his arms. Vader in the OT would never have done that. He doesn't even fill the suit correctly and is too short. he has built up heels on for gods sake in ROTS. I may not even be able to pull it off but its something i'm seriously considering."
I never noticed his boots in either Trilogy. They just never caught my eye. I don't think that they're the type of thing that draws one's attention unless they're actively looking for it.
As far as folding arms goes, that hardly seems like enough to justify calling Hayden's portrayal not "Vader enough." Don't get me wrong, I'm certain that, had Hayden been given more screen time, he would have totally screwed it up, but compared to all the other problems with the PT this is a relatively small blip. Also, if you want to look at it from an In-Universe POV, I must agree with Davnes007. Personality develops over time. Vader had after all gotten over his Teenage Angst by the time of ANH. Just because Vader didn't fold his arms in the OT doesn't mean he wouldn't have done it in the PT.
Still, I would like to see what you come up with before condemning it. So please, go for it!
