    I just saw an article about how much Vader's suit would really cost and it was an estimate of $18.3 million. Using real-world data and analysis the suit would need a heart and lung machine, need to be pressurized, and prosthetic maintenance. It's something fun that I thought everyone would have a good laugh at:

    Horrible! That's the simple explanation for
    1) "Steeve" trying to get rid off his former favorite apprentice and his
    2) wishful thinking to get Luke instead:
    The clothes of his Chosen one ruined him and the knew one would have been younger and cheaper ..:)

    @AstromechRecords, @Vader_the_White: Thanks. Hopefully there is always one that understands what I tried to talk about: Haha,"Steeve" Palpatine.(..maybe I thought of Steeve "Wonder" ) :)

    He means Sheev, which is Palpatine's first name. Seriously. Emperor Sheev Palpatine.

    A little trivia for you all. Sheev is derived from the name of the Hindu god, Shiva, who is the God of Destruction, of the three main deities who destroys the "impurity" of the universe, before Brahma, The Creator, rebuilds and creates the universe, and Vishnu maintains it's control, order and stability. So Palpatine, ironically, is destroying the impurity of the Republic and the star wars galaxy with his re-organization, yet he is also destroying the balance and bring the Sith rule to the galaxy. Hope that makes the "lame" name sound a bit better.

    Shiva is known as The "Destroyer of Worlds." Shiva destroys the Earth every few cycles or so and we are on our "eighth" or so...Shiva doesn't do it for her own gain but to purify the world of its sins. "SHEEV," on the other hand, is doing it for his own personal gain, for his own personal power...for The Sith: A little trivia for you all :).

    Very true, I know about it because I'm a Hindu, haha! That's why I said his name was also ironic :p
