    The suit doesn’t really change all too much. The production team just added or subtracted buttons and that’s about it other than finding some different gloves which was due to the original brand not being around. The helmet was a a mold from the first movie and was fine other than a slight difference in paint job.

      His lightsaber is different in a few ways, the emitter shroud is curved rather than straight and the clamp section sits lower with shorter grips and there are black screws dotted around the hilt of the saber, there is a little more black around the lower section of his mask (for those who don't know, Darth Vader's mask is painted in an alternating pattern of black and gunmetal grey in all films except episode III), the dome of the helmet sits a tiny bit higher, exposing his eyebrows more, the indentation in the dome just above his eyebrows is absent, the chest and belt box button layouts change slightly and the aluminium tusks on his mask come to a point rather than being hemispherical like in ESB. but nobody notices small details like that.

    Pro tip for sticker removal: spray a cloth with something like chain degreaser and rub down the residue after you remove the rest of the sticker. It just comes right off. I work in a bike shop and you'd be ASTONISHED at the number of uses I've found for chain degreaser that don't involve degreasing chains.

    • @XaviusNight
      @XaviusNight Год назад +1

      isopropyl alcohol also does wonders on clearing up sticker residue if you can't source chain degreaser for some reason; it isn't quite as effective, but it's better than nothing (and might already be in your house).

    • @evil1st
      @evil1st Год назад

      I have a solution better than both degreaser and alcohol, and it smells better: Orange oil
      It will literally remove anything, but be careful. Its harmful if swallowed because its concentrated orange juice so its basically a liquid carcinogen.

  • @dshrecksBW
    @dshrecksBW Год назад +4

    I like how each lightsaber lights the opposing figure in a different shade. Usually Vader is lit red, but here he's lit green. It exemplifies Luke's influence on him over time. His armor, his shell he built up to house his core of guilt and regret for his past, reflects a green glow showing how difficult it is for Luke to get through as he seemingly just ignores all of Luke's pleas for peace and redemption. Luke on the other hand is lit in red, showing a warming up to the Dark Side and his Father's ways when confronted with a no-win scenario. Even so, he shows a steady resistance to temptation despite the influence of rage and anger from the Emperor because he knows he has friends to avenge and the memory of Obi Wan and Yoda to preserve.

    • @keithm.404
      @keithm.404 9 месяцев назад

      I think its because more of the green LED noodle is nearer the Vader figure and more of the red LED noodle is nearer the Luke figure.
