Vader's skeleton, Now in extra-cripsy high definition!

[DarkStar]I see nothing to indicate any structures within Darth Vader that are not entirely natural, proving once again how terrible Star Wars medical science actually is.[/DarkStar]

Seriously, though, those are terrific pictures. Excellent resolution, really bringing out the ridiculously serious injuries Vader no doubt sustained.

Can he afford to buy the trilogy DVD's? I wonder how in the hell he plans to refute any of these images from the DVD's now. Its crystal clear. Of course I am assuming this is a man who will admit to something that is clearly visisble and not refer to magical bands of brightness.

Incidentally, it actually looks like the Force lightning was deforming Vader's skull in the last few pictures, when his eye-sockets get scrunched up. Cool!

"This is just further proof that SW humans are naturally born with these sort of metal infusions!"

I'm going to have to get this damn box set, attention to detail looks fantastic.

Yeah, Dorkstar will have a hard time explaining this.

Well, this is the first time, the picture is clear enough to see, that Vader's left hand is still flesh and not mechanical. Just look at the bones of his hand in picture #2.

Does Dorkstar still roam the SB forums? Be funny just to see his reaction.

Oh and anyone who wants to can hotlink the pics there or whatever.

I just fear ROTS will show Anakin´s left hand being cut off as well. It´s just a fear I have....

Nice pics, and some definite deformation and also I do like the closeup of the spine. Yowza.

And as for the Darkstar bit...remember his shit in the past and what he still clings to. There could be point by point following of the Entire Trilogy of things he points out as otherwise, and I doubt that would sway him.

Well, why is that bad? Lucas has pretty much said that Vader is about 3/4th machine, with cybernetic legs and arms, and a bunch of components throughout his torso. It'd make sense if there was hardly anything left of him after the battle.

He already did have a hard time explaining it when I challenged him over it way back when. I was able to get him to admit the whole metal bone thing.

It isn´t bad, but it might be inconsistent with ROTJ, if what Tribun said is true:

They might get over-eager with chopping things off and forgetting what ends up being replaced and what´s biological.

Every day since the OT DVDs cam out I have been checking his site for an update... though it hasn't come... and I REALLY want to see what he has to say about them! But he will no doubt stick by his old theories.

Cloned replacement.

Maybe we should start a fund to buy the DVD set for him, on the condition that he has to eat crow while watching it... ; )

Erm ... no. I'm sick of this DumbShit talk, this is a man who thinks it took the Rebel fleet *days* to get to Endor- a DVD isn't going to do shit to him.

Looking at picture number two, I think his left may be robotic as well, just look underneath his upper arm/shoulder area and you see a cylindrical hydrolic like device attatched underneath the main "bone".
