Film: Revenge Of The Sith When: At the very end of Vader's mechanical creation Some fans have issues with Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader, but few would find fault with this shot. Following another great moment where it's revealed what it looks like inside the suit, the mask is clamped down and the helmet added. We hold for a second before Vader makes his first rasping breath, disturbing the mist in the operation room. Taking the classic Star Wars iconography and presenting it in a new light, the shot really encapsulates Anakin's tragedy.
