Vaders R Us

[kaitou]

So last night when I was trying to sleep something occured to me. Unless Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine really forsaw the future in such detail...how'd they get Vader's helmet and costume done on such short notice? Is this standard rigging in the SW universe? Is everyone in the SW universe on a respirator walking around in a Vader helmet? Was there a catalog to choose from and young Anakin said, "I'll take the one in Black?" That's just really weird design to make on the spur of the moment. I really think they had to have it on hand.

My brain doesn't need to think about things like this.

Palpatine: Oh, look, that one's got a Hello Kitty motif.
Anakin: No.
Palpatine: Stripes? You always did look dashing in stripes.
Anakin: No, I wanna look like a biker.
Palpatine: Ooh, the new Harry Potter line is out.
Anakin: No.... wait, which house colors do they have?

Oh God! Hufflepuff Hello Kitty Vader..... Agh! Can't contain fits of hysterical laughter. Damn you both, you've killed me!

I suspect it's just part of the "Time? What time?" thing the last quarter of that movie had going. Of course, I would have found the process of engineering the Vader suit immensely interesting, but then I'm just geeky like that.
