dangermousie | Pretty Boy picture of the day and a Vader thought

Also, another scene that really got me at my second viewing was Anakin being turned into Vader-in-the-suit. It looked horrifying. And the fact that he was conscious during it all is awful. The fact that they couldn't have used any external anesthetic on him because all of his nerve endings were burned away is even worse. And you could see that he just wanted to die (because of the pain and despair) but had no control at all, even when the mask was lowered on him.

I never really wondered much about how Vader ended up in the suit, but now if I rewatch OT, I'd keep thinking about Anakin being forever trapped.
