We all know there are four Vaders. The kid, the guy in the suit, the unmasked Vader, and James Earl Jones. Each had an important role as Darth Vader, but who do you say was the real Vader?

Before everyone votes Jones, I just want to point out one important fact about the others: they are not James Earl Jones :P

Seriously, it usually comes down to Prowse and Jones in the polls I have seen. With Christensen playing him in Episode III, that could add an additonal element to the debate.

I vote for Prowse. While the whole breathing thing is excellent, it was the huge hulking figure with a the lightsaber burning red in the dark that really made Darth Vader for me. Rather than the voice it's the physical impression Darth Vader has.

It's the voice. James Earl Jones. Anyone could have been a big guy in a suit, but Jones made that part his.

I couldn't agree more! James Earl Jones has an amazing voice, and I think it's that voice which truly captures the essence of Darth Vader.

Well, Prowse did have some great body language and he was certainly better than your average random big guy in a suit would've been.

Still, it's the voice that makes me think of Vader. Gotta go with Jones.

Boo, Hayden Christensen. His name is a bad word in our family. If me or my brother is in a bad mood, my mom says 'Cheer up, at least you're not Hayden Christensen.'

-cough-

Anyway, Jones. It's just THE Darth Vader voice.

Hayden Christensen killed Jedi Younglings and made Obi-wan cry, then got killed by a morale cookie.

He wins, thrankly.

But then I always did think Vader was a right wuss anyway.

I think I'd say Hayden, because we see him becoming Vader, whereas the others just are, and I could really get a better feel for the character.

Another thing I would consider significant is the fact that fanfiction.net has so many spoilers that I could mouth all the lines by the time I actually saw Episode 3 (last night), and I was afraid that it wouldn't be as good, but it totally was.

And just because I'm picky: I have to point out that a lot of people would say that the "unmasked" guy shouldn't really be one of the candidates for "the real Vader", because at that point, Vader didn't exist anymore. (Anakin "returned" from being Darth Vader, hence "Return of the Jedi", right?)
