20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

10. A Deliberately Uncomfortable Vader Suit

And sticking with the highly-anticipated debuting of Darth Vader in full robo-Sith mode, there's actually a very good reason Hayden Christensen resembled a toddler figuring out how to execute his very first steps during the closing stages of Revenge of the Sith.

In an effort to showcase the fact that Anakin Skywalker was still coming to terms with his brand new way of being, Lucas went out of his way to make the iconic suit deliberately top-heavy by doing things like making the legendary helmet particularly weighty.

This very much helped give off the impression that Skywalker wasn't "too accustomed" to his new suit in the debuting of his new look. And Christensen was again forced to deal with what he described as a "beast" of a costume during his Obi-Wan Kenobi return, too, admitting that after all these years the intimidating outfit still is "not designed for bathroom breaks".

It's a hard life being a tortured cyborg soul, you know...
