In episodes 4-6 Darth Vader is very tall & physically impressive. Much taller than Obi-wan or Luke. Offhand I don't think Leonardo is taller than Ewan MacGregor, or at least not head and shoulders taller. The Vader suit & helmet add a few inches but not enough to make up for the height difference between Vader and Kenobi.
What they need is someone who can play a tall and gangly teen in Ep. 2 and then get pumped up for adulthood in Ep. 3.
