    Ah crap, now I'm stumped.

    Do I make a clone of Jay Maynard's cool TRON costume or of Darth's outfit? Our annual Sci Fi convention is next month and I don't want to wear my Vulcan Ears for the 24th time.

      > Jay Maynard's cool TRON costume

      I think the real TRON would definitely wear a cup and a girdle as part of this costume.

      I really didn't need to see Milton's nads.

      After ep1 and ep2 I think that picture is probably EXACTLY what I think of when I imagine a Sith Lord.

    From the yahoo article: "The first three "Star Wars" films debut for the first time in digital format on Sept. 21."

    So any bets on when an image file is leaked?

      Seriously. Even if LucasArts does manage to keep it under wraps until the release, if it's not available by about 2:00 am on Sept. 21, I'm going to be very disappointed in all those slavering fanboys out there.

    Darth Vader makes his costume out of pajamas in order to win an amateur wrestling contest to win money to buy a car to impress a girl.

    So there you go. Black pajamas with a motorcycle helmet.

    Don't bother reading the articles.

    Just in case Yahoo news gets slashdotted, I've typed a plaintext mirror:

    Newsflash! In movie 3 of the Starwars Hexology, Darth Vader will be seen wearing something different! Fashion Moguls can get an avanced look at cutting edge fashion for "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." by buying the DVD set.

    George Lucas says:

    "Our fans have been eagerly awaiting every morsel of `Episode III' as we divulge it. We're giving it to them piece by piece."

    Talk about stringing it out for money. Lucas is the master.

    Another highlight:

    Also, experience how Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor have prepared for the epic lightsaber battle that has been anticipated for more than two decades: the climactic showdown between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    SPOILER ALERT:
    Of course, since Vader and Obi-Wan duke it out again in IV, the 'climactic showdown' will probably not end in the death of either character in III, unless Lucas has begun hiring script-writers from Star Trek TNG.

    Episode III will be a musical

    There will be a stirring piano solo accompanying a soundless lightsaber battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan, followed by a spectacular soaring performance of the theme from Star Wars with the entire cast of the film singing the new never-before-heard lyrics as a galactic chorale.

    Darth Vader will then sing a solo baritone as the credits roll.
