I adjusted the headshots slightly to try and compensate for Spanky's criticism. Better?

Ok, more fine tune editing on my part. Surely the headshots look better here? Can't get much more centered than that, and on the plus side the banner is now only 525 pixels wide:

Blame Chardok. He gave me an inferior Vader picture to work with. ;)

Walper, you need to put Sebastian Shaw at the end, otherwise it isn't complete.

You have to do this, you have to, otherwise I'll never forgive you. NEVER! :P

Sebastian Shaw is the guy in the last Vader scene in ROTJ-- Anakin without the mask, and also (pre-DVDs) Anakin's Force ghost standing besides Yoda and Obi-wan.
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

I don't like the all-black background for Vader. It makes him almost disappear into it.

Man, Walper, you really don't know anything about art design... :P

Duh. Borg have no artistic inclinations whatsoever. :P

Anyway, that last version by xBF looks better than the one in your sig, Walper.

Never heard him called Shaw in the movie, hence my confusion. He simply qualifies as "unmasked Anakin" in my books. I pay very little attention to the actual actors themselves.

Well, honestly, I like the theme, as the images get darker the further right you go reflecting Anakin's nature.

It complements the theme of your picture if you include Darth's/Anakin's dying moments. It's part of the character's cycle.

All you need to do is say the word hun. I'm more than happy, just let me know what you want.

Assuming he's going for the complete cycle as opposed to Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, of course.

It does a massive disservice to the character arc to concentrate on the fall without acknowledging the redemption. And also, for the completist in us all, it just fits the sequence to have EVERY Anakin. From all the films.

I must have missed the memo requiring sig pics to adhere to that.
