What's this about Hebrew letters now?

I was under the impression that Vader was in the condition where a medical droid would take one glance at him and say "You need to get him hooked up to some serious life support systems NOW or he's going to die". It's possible that unless you stuck that suit on him, he would have deteriorated to the point where he would have been completely non-functioning.

I wasn't the only one!

The only way to control Vader is to beg Palpy to reign him in. Stalin and every other bad guy in history created their own monsters and in each case, the people blamed the monster, not its creator.
Hmm, yeah, I agree.

Seconded. Wha..? I looked at a picture I have from the OT and I don't see any lettering. (To be fair, I can't zoom in and get a clear decently clear picture anywhere.)

the suit itself (not teh helmet) is very similar to that worn by Sith Lord Exar Kun, iirc.
