Pieces of Darth Vader's armor will be seen on several different characters. It will all come together to make the final Vader armor. - C2

"The scene where Anakin does actually become Vader is pretty good. I mean, I like it. It's a little in the vocabulary of…I don't know how much I want to give away…but it's in the vocabulary of a time – of the 1930s and 1940s. It's a pretty neat little thing, I think, and hopefully it's going to work." - GL

In this film, you realize, it's more about Anakin making the wrong choices. He's given a glorious moment by George -- I'm so happy with part of the script -- where he truly has to make a choice.

Anakin is more or less in the entire film, in every scene in the movie. The character arc is very specific and graduates to the dark side nicely. It was a great part to play. It's definitely darker in tone but I turn into Darth Vader, so how could it not be?" - HC
