Uxi Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 The toys look great. I built my own "ultimate" Vader out of the numerous figures there were at the time (legs from the gunner station for extra height, arms from the duel, torso/head from the removable helmet). I even did some circuitry for the removable hand and made a 2 piece helmet (separate dome and mask)... But that looks cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechwolf Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 That Vader figure & the Jet Pack Clone are pretty slick. I just recieved the most recent SW Insider issue & the last page has a large number of the RotS figures pictured & listed. And there is some Clone Trooper goodness. The Imperial-class most likely won't be in RotS. In this time period, it should be the Victory-class & any other previously unseen capitol ships that have been designed for this film. Though I'm not sure if the Victory-class will have any screen time. However, it looks as though the Juggernaut Troop Carrier, a vehicle that only existed in the EU until now, will be in RotS as it is the cover picture of the soon to be released "Revenge Of The Sith Incredible Cross Sections" book. I'll try to scan the images when I get the chance. So, maybe we will get to see a Victory-class Star Destroyer in RotS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radd Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 As I recall, a lot of the vehicles (or at least some of them) in the West End Games RPG that did not appear in the original trilogy came from production sketches and ideas that never made it into the films.

Amped Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hmmmm, I may be on crack, but I seem to recall the Juggernaut Troop Carrier originating as one of the original concept sketches for the AT-AT. I think there's a sketch of something similar in The Empire Strikes Back Sketchbook from the early 80s... I'll haveta check when I get home later today. I'll scan and post it if I find it.

Prime Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) This topic is covered extensively in the comics and books. Wich means nothing to the movies. The books and comics may be "official", but it has been proven time and again that they are not, nor ever have been, canon. The only things that are canon is what appears in the movies themselves, and what George Lucas himself says. And Lucas himself has also put a large apparatus in place to see that the EU isn't contradicted. While he reserves the right to contradict the EU, he hasn't done so yet (especially not beyond a "certain point of view"). Come on. A bunch of things in the EU have been contradicted by Lucas in the new films. It is better with more current things though...

Blaine23 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Dude... all I'm sayin' is that wookies are pimps. And thus, that ride screams out for a bit of customization. HOLLA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWR MKII Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Yes the juggernaut was a prototype design for the ATAT its also stated in the myth and magic ILM book that covers the first trilogy and its design as well as the indiana jones trilogy.

Opus Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 But if his eyes and tongue were gone how the scene in Jedi where he says he wants to see Luke with his own eyes work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 a figure of speach perhaps? he just did not want to see luke through the tinted glass eyes of the suit, maybe he can still see without the helmet just not as clear or good and the machinery helps him see better. and just did not want the helmet upstructing his veiw in the last few moments of his life.

glane21 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 If the whole movie is as good as that last chapter, I will forgive Lucas for the first 2. It really wraps up most of the questions I had and makes you understand how tragic the Vader character really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hmm, considering his lips, tongue, throat, it is likely that in the 18-20 some years inbetween his defeat by Obi-Wan & Jedi he healed enough to speak on his own. We do see (I think in Empire) him hanging out by himself without the helmet on. It makes sense that the James Earl Jones voice would be the machine created one. It also explains why Vader can speak while you can clearly hear him breathing at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Nah, Lucas would never even hint to the slaughtering of children, he doesn't have the nuts anymore. Any comments, Keith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 great pic, it is nice to see the gloves coming off for this film, it is a shame he could not have done that on the first film. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.actionjackson Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 As a parent that scene is very sad. I might get a little teary when I see that and I know my wife will probably start bawling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
