BEHIND THE SCENES: SUITIN' UP!



Hayden Christensen is once more the coolest man in the room, this time trying on the bulky and formidable Darth Vader costume developed and built by Ivo Coveny and his team in Australia for 2003's EPISODE III climactic appearance of the Dark Lord. Note the helmet/shoulder plates have not been finished yet in this image.


This image has surfaced online credited to being part of the filming of EPISODE III. Is this the footage of Hayden as Vader filming extra dialogue ultimately unused for the Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back, the version that came to DVD in 2004 and whose shooting is mentioned in J.W Rinzler's 'Making of' book for EPISODE III?
