Mini Series Darth Vader in Kenobi Series

"Now your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base".

"Apology accepted, Captain Needa".

 

I'll go with a line from each film.

"I have you now!"

"No, I am your father."

And you know he has a **** eating grin the whole time he's saying this:

 

Technically Vader shouldn’t say “I am your father,” as he said in series, Anakin is dead, Vader is all that remains. Anakin begot Luke, so Vader shouldn’t claim him as a son.

Remember Palpatine says “I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakim Skywalker.” Not Vader. If Anakin is really dead like Vader said, he cannot claim his son.

 

Ahhhh...I see what you're doing; referencing that Vader line from our most recent streaming series

And you're right from a certain point of view that he shouldn't say "I am your father," but he does, and then compounds the matter by going on to ask Luke to join him so that they can rule the galaxy as father and son. This bit of confessional dialogue has always intrigued me even before special editions and prequels and Obi-Wan Kenobi Limited Series reframed things. He's clearly identifying himself as Luke's father; and by implication admitting to be Anakin. (Although if you remove the PT from this equation and whatever is the most recent Emperor hologram convo from an updated ESB, we don't first hear the name Anakin until Luke says it in ROTJ) This could also mean he's been hiding the fact that he's not 100% Vader and committed to the cause from the Emperor even at that point and seems to have aspirations of his own, which coheres with what he tells Padme at the end of ROTS about them ruling together. It's a very Sith oriented mindset, but it also kind of back-handedly foreshadows the fact that there's still good in him.

I only remember the dialogue from the original 1980 version. Have you seen my avatar? Lol. In my head canon things end with ESB; everything after that is just for fun for me

True, but he could also just be claiming him as a son to mess with Luke. The best lies have some truth in them, or something like that.

 

I was just having some fun.

Vader says Anakin is dead, but he’s not. The knowledge of Luke make Anakin reborn. I wonder if Palpatine was testing Vader? To see if this news would bring back Anakin and that is why in ROTJ Palyps wants a new apprentice, Luke, because he sees Vader can’t purge Anakin.

Granted with Luke its little better, he has same emotional pitfalls and mood swings of his father.

 

"As you wish."

 

Oh my stars.. I just realized:





Lord Vader is Weasley from Princess Bride!

 

I can't wait to see the Vader BTS stuff in the OWK documentary A Jedi's Return, it's going to really great just to see how HC prepared for the role.

It'll be interesting if they show specifically when Hayden was behind the costume. Something like Vader going "You were warned what defeat would bring" and Vader throwing out his arm to choke Reva makes me think that was Christensen.

 

Wasn't it great to see HC really enjoying the experience in playing Anakin again and this time getting to play Vader?

 

It was indeed. It was intriguing Vader used a lesson from his duel as Padawan Learner to defeat Reva.

 

Looks like Kenobi may be the last time James L Jones voices Vader. Presumably its all gone be done AI now.

 

Future Darth Vader appearances will No longer have James Earl Jones.

 

Seems weird that they credited JLJ as for voice of Vader for Kenobi then. I guess they just wanted the credit there. I wonder if he is gonna get a credit every time Vaders voice is used?

 

There's definitely less of a moral quandary when the living actor is still around and signs off on it. The results were impressive. Most impressive.

Pretty crazy because there's like genuine emotional inflection in Vader's lines. Like "I am what you made me." And the full on ticked off "You were warned what defeat would bring!"

 

I suppose the question is, is it a lie? When they credit mark Hamill in the acting credits even though he is mostly helping guide the performance, while what what we get on a screen is a stand in body actor and CGI face.

Personally i think its just a cheap trick to put their name in the main actor credits. It just looks good to have that name in credits.

 

*standing ovation as JEJ metaphorically walks off the playing field*

 

Ha, I knew it.

I'm less clear on whether Respeecher needs an actual voice to mold. Can it create a voice from scratch, or does it need dialogue by a speaker to the change? I take it the scene where Vader's helmet gets damaged and the voice you here goes back and forth between Hayden's and Jones' is all Hayden, with Respeecher changing the tone of Hayden's voice to Jones' during certain sections, but this article made it sound like the majority of the time they were creating the spoken dialogue from scratch.
