Kind of an interesting blurb...

[Zannon]

in someone's sig on a SW Miniatures forum...

This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever: The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain. The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew upon your flesh. You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down. You don't even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your blood stream forever. Lord Vader? Lord Vader can you hear me? And you can't, not in the way you once did. Sensors in the shell that prisons your head trickle meaning directly into your brain. You open your scorched-pale eyes; optical sensors integrate light and shadow into a hideous simulacrum of the world around you. Or Perhaps the simulacrum is perfect, and it is the world that is hideous. Padme? Are you here? Are you all right? you try to say, but another voice speaks for you, out from the vocabulator that serves you for burned-away lips and tongue and throat.

Well Episode makes it clear that Vader can see, hear, and speak on his own without the aid of his helmet but very cool blurb none the less.

I think it speaks more to the emotional/mental tortures attached to his memories of losing Padme and his defeat (in many ways...emotional, mental, physical) at the hands of Obi-wan. ....and his self-suppression, the way he's trapping himself with those memories and letting himself be controlled by the Emporer.

Smarty pants.

Of course the women would see the emotional side of it. Vader was a man I'm sure the only thing running through his mind for the next 30 years was I'm going to kill that SOB.

I think someone needs to go out and drink more on Friday nights.

Yes, maybe 26 years of no drinking is catching up to me. One of these days I must try it.

Vader was a man...

He's more machine now, than man...

Oh, I was talking about the feller who actually hemmed and hawed about what he thinks Vader was feeling. Dude...he is a cyborg. Who cares what he feels...he is good at what he does, and what he does is stomp asses. End of story.

The dark side of the force is fueled by emotion something must have kept him going. I think it's a good insight into the character.

What I want to know is, what does Lucas have with wheezing evil cyborgs.
