Yep. It comes with one regular Vader hilt and one USB-powered. Reva's lightsabers are regular ones.Stryker2012 wrote:How do the lightsabers work? Is it USB?

I'm kinda curious why you're getting rid of them. My Standard Edition OWK DV arrived a few days ago, and I'm eager to get him unboxed this weekend.

However, despite being a big fan of Hayden as Anakin, I'm very anti-Disney SW when it comes to their version of the 'storyline', and I'm just... not on board with the concept of the OWK tv series. I dislike how overtly retconned it is (no, Obi-Wan and Vader don't have interactions between RotS and ANH, I'm sorry that's just a big fat NOPE for me). There are rectons that I can live with, but that is not something I'd ever accept as canon and therefore don't want anything from the show in my collection. Also, as a lifelong fan of the Lucas saga, I have very little interest in non-Lucas depictions of Vader stomping around being villainous during the Dark Times. My interest in the character begins and ends specifically in 'the barest flicker of persistent light' that remains in him at all times, even when he is seemingly totally on the Dark Side.
What? A Vader fan who thinks media that dwells on his villain era is boring? Yes, we exist. You see, when I was a child, my very first introduction to Star Wars was when I walked in on my dad watching the end of RotJ, the moment when Luke removes Vader's mask. That was the first scene from SW I ever watched, and it is forever ingrained in my psyche. I was immediately drawn to the pitiful, maimed creature beneath that mask. 'Vader' has therefore NEVER been some 'scary evil villain' to me.... he's always been ANAKIN.
The focus of my SW collection is Anakin Skywalker and only includes 'Darth Vader' insofar as when he is showing glimpses of his True Self, not... well, the opposite of that.
Sure, the Hayden sculpt on the battle-damaged helmet looks great and I'm happy for Hayden's sake he got to reprise the role, but I don't consider this version of Vader canon at all. *MY* unmasked Vader is a pathetic, sad, pitiful creature.
tl;dr I'm not a fan of the OWK series and I plan to use this Vader body and LED accessories to make my own preferred version of a 'broken Vader helmet' that depicts him in a way that feels more in-character to me.
I agree. And I finally bit the bullet and worked my way through the 4k77 project and got the slightly cleaned up but unspecialized movies in as original a format as I wanted. I know they are just movies, have many flaws, and should matter little in the grand scheme of things (except making or costing money), but they brought tears of joy to my eyes. Luckily no one saw.Visisonor wrote:Yeah, Kenobi series is written like a bad fanfic. The "rematch" between Obi-Wan and Vader was not narratively needed in the first place, because it happened in ANH. And I agree with Sky that ANH dialogue implies the two of them didn't cross paths in-between.
I feel somewhat similarly about Anakin having a padawan, though this was a Lucas-era retcon.
Stryker, have you heard of 4k77 project and other de-specialized editions (https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com)?
I can't answer for Sky, but I'd imagine this image begs several questions, not least whether Anakin would have ended up with a split helmet, and whether Anakin would have ended up as Vader at all.Stryker2012 wrote:Hey, Sky,
What about this version of both Anakin and Padme’ (Alt Universe versions):

My planned custom version will still be a Hayden-Vader, but one that is just a bit more to my liking. ;p
