In one of the darkest moments of the Prequel saga, Darth Vader is born in true Frankenstein-esque gothic style, and the universe will never be the same again with such a terrifying arrival...
"It's the iconic moment. It's Darth Vader. To be totally enclosed in that suit, behind that mask - was extremely empowering. No... intense? Overwhelming? Cool? I've got it - how about orgasmic?"
"It was indescribable, you know? It was a completion of a job. And then my sort of five-year journey was over coupled with the fact that it was just this incredibly powerful feeling, this beastly feeling that wells up inside of you when you're playing a character that is Darth. You walk by and people see Darth and you know you watch the reactions on their faces. The days that Darth came out was quite the event on set. Everyone wanted to see what was going on. It was a one-of-a-kind experience."
"Getting to act behind a mask in general is a very freeing experience, and when that face is Darth Vader, it's very empowering, very beastly."
