Did people thought Vader was a robot?

I haven't watched this movie in a while... but saw Darth Vader in some other media... and I've always known that he was Anakin since the OT came out way before I was born.

But had me thinking... did (most) people think Darth Vader was a robot like C3PO and R2... instead of a human in there?

Since it was not revealed that he was a human until when he takes off the helmet in Empire... as well as revealing who he actually was at the end of Empire.

no one thought that

Nah nobody thought that and the fact that he's constantly breathing makes it clear it's not a droid.

Do robots breathe?

[–] DarthAckbar (1067) 6 days ago

plot hole!

[–] millsey72 (9693) 6 days ago

Its not a plot hole. Its fully explained in episode 3 why he breathes so heavy

[–] DarthAckbar (1067) 6 days ago

Asthma?

[–] millsey72 (9693) 5 days ago

Nope. Thats a good guess though. Watch episode 3. I won't spoil it for you

Oh! Bronchitis!

[–] millsey72 (9693) 5 days ago

Not even close. However thats another good guess

I'd call him a Cyborg. A human being who relied on robotic limbs to get around. Luke was a cyborg after getting his hand replaced with a robotic one.

We're all mobile phone cyborgs now. Effectively.

We thunk he were a salesman of the insurance type.

When it first came out we didn’t know what he was. Vader was scary when you first saw him as kid.
