CLASSIC IMAGE: THE NIGHTMARE CHILD...


"Awaken him..."

The filmed but deleted scene line from Darth Sidious, eager to see the final results of his Sith Lord human/hybrid fusion, the Frankenstein's Monster of STAR WARS that is Darth Vader, as witnessed in the trilogies bridge-building, climactic events of EPISODE III.

The final version shown in cinemas, however, would ultimately have its visual aesthetic changed by Lucas, likely deciding that Vader was now seemingly more accepting to become "more machine than man" at this point and wouldn't quite need to be the severely restrained figure that had been previously filmed.

As seen in the EPISODE III teaser trailer...
... and as seen in the completed film.

With thanks to Chris Baker for selected images.
