For those who have seen ROTS, which is probably all of us, must realize that he's horribly skinny. So do you think he started hitting the weights and bench-pressing and stuff? how else would he get that large? and its not as if he was fat in the OT. he was big, but not fat. Muscular.

Sure, why not.
All the jedi are dead, his wife is gone, he has no friends, and his Master is busy organizing the Empire.
What else would he have to do? You can only stare at the Death Star frame for so long.

He's a whole lot taller too - I think I'd be annoyed if a bunch of robots came and made me taller. You'd have to buy new clothes. Come to think of it - did he wear that black leather for 20 years? Because that's just gross.

I believe he used the force to create a mini shield around the leather to prevent them from becoming dirty, thus allowing him to wear the same clothes, unwashed, for over 20 years.

In reference to his height did you NOT see ROTS? His robotic legs were at least 6 inches longer than his previous legs.
Ther's already a thread on the front page about this...

How does he eat is what I want to know? In ESB, after Lando "betrayed" Han, Vader says "We will be honored if you join us." And there was a bunch of food and stuff. Did he actually eat?

Yes, he ate.
The left silver "tusk" on his helmet extends outward. It's like a straw that allows him to eat without removing his lifesaving armor.

Vader is going to pump YOU up.
Swhwarzenegger visited the Death Star and helped bulk up Vader during the years.
The real question is though, did Sidious give him steroids?

Hey, he's always saying, "You don't know the power of the Dark Side." Maybe the Dark Side makes you super ripped. 'Cuz hey, we never see Palpatine in anything but robes and stuff. And we know Darth Maul had to be chiseled like a Roman statue to fight off two powerful Jedi for so long.
Or maybe it's just a product of intense training. We saw how ripped Luke got when training on Dagobah.

Are you serious?  Seriously, though.

I think he got a little plump, well, what was left of him anyway, I'm not sure if that's muscle. He put on a few pounds over the course of 20 years in the suit. I mean what do we see him doing, walking around, sitting in that chamber, he's clearly a little out of shape. He get's his first decent workout in years in ESB vs. luke. I ain't saying he got fat, but he gained some weight.

I wouldn't go to the point of saying he's fat, I'd just say it's all from the suit. As for his slowness, a cybernetic suit could do that to a person. It isn't his weight, methinks.

I agree, the suit is what is slowing him down, I just think he gained some weight, got bigger, not fat.

Mmm, no, I don't think so. Take it from me as a Vader-lover who's been staring at his body rather intently for years now.  Dave Prowse is ripped, and it shows when he's in that suit. You can see the quadriceps bulging on the front of his thighs, even above the part where we now know his cybernetic legs begin, so it must be his actual muscle. Vader's been bulking up, no question about it.
