The Men Who are Darth Vader

!!!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

It should have been the other way around.

I think, all in all, about five people have played Darth Vader. One voiced him, one was in the suit, one did the light saber fights, yet another was responsible for his famous breathing....and then someone did some special edition stuff with him. :)

Yes, however unlikely it may seem, I am a SW freak. :D

James Earl Jones is awesome, but I've never liked David Prowse. :noway: (If that is DP in the first picture.....)

I don't know if I would be kidding if I said that...Actually, it's Anakin's terrible hair that makes me think that he looks ugly. With a decent hairstyle, he would be much more attractive. O:)

It's funny how different the actors and voices look from Darth Vader! You don't expect somebody who looks like a nice grandpa to sound like one of the most well-known movie bad guys!

So, are you like me Catspaw? Do you consider the hair of Mark Hamil, Harrison Ford, and Karrie Fisher much better than these newfangled spikey haired gell wearing actors? :)

Do you have something against spikey haired, gel-wearing individuals? :lol:

I've never liked to think that I was like you... :anxious:

Well, I guess your assessment would be partially true. I don't have anything against hair gel, but I would take Harrison Ford over Hayden Christenson any day! I do like some of Amidala's hair styles better than some of Princess Leia's, and she has some great dresses (if you're built like 0.01% of the population), while Leia wasn't a fashion plate - she had other things to do! I guess it doesn't really matter - I like the story line better in the original trilogy, but Anakin's bad hair just really bothers me! :sick:

Episodes II and III - mainly II, I guess. I really don't like that little braid thing - I think that it's ugly. And his hair in general looks weird because it's all sticking up, like he put gel in his hair and then went outside when it was really windy. Some people might like it, but I'm not one of them!
