What are the enigmatic buttons of the Darth Vader costume in Star Wars?

Talking about Star Wars usually passes, inevitably, by dedicating a time by talk about Darth Vader, the iconic main antagonist of the original trilogy and one of the largest villains in the history of cinema.

This Lord Sith won the admiration of all the public at the time he made the glorious entrance of him at Tantive IV, in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

The brutal aspect of it, with strong samurai inspiration, its sinister voice and constant breathing of it and with the same frequency conferred Darth Vader a level of unparalleled complexity and mystery.

But, What are all those botonces of the Darth Vader costume serve? Did AM and FM tune? Can you do Capuccinos as for a wedding?

Today in Hobby Consoles we enter Legends, the former expanded universe of Star Wars, to know the performance of the Darth Vader costume and the famous buttons of it.

Much more than an intimidating suit

After enjoying a barbecue with Obi-Wan Kenobi in Mustafar at the end of Star Wars Episode III: the revenge of the Sith, who was once Anakin Skywalker would cover his face, forever.

The need made the team of doctors of Emperor Palpatine saved the life of the newly appointed Lord Sith with a very advanced survival team.

Darth Vader is not able to survive on its own for a long time, which made her suit from him could keep him alive autonomously, performing most of the functions of his body.

In essence, and for looking for a somewhat before Darth Vader, we could say that the Villano costume is a Dune distillet, but in Molona version and without it like that you have drew a bazaar (well, maybe a retro electronics store) .

Since providing nutrients and medicines (and drugs), until controlling the depositions of it (and reuse them), the Darth Vader costume is the only thing that keeps Lord Sith alive.

WITHOUT LIMITS

Many of the characteristics of the Darth Vader costume found in the character reference book, entitled Star Wars: Darth Vader: A 3-D Reconstruction Log and written by Daniel Wallace.

In the book we find the functioning of the Pectoral Box of Darth Vader. The red and square button of the box is manual cancellation, with which Vader can perform a combat envelopes, without the physical limitations of his suit .

The blue button above the aforementioned button is used to return the functions to the suit, resume the systems that keep the character alive and returning the capabilities of it.

The rest of the buttons of that box serve different regulations of the costume functions, except the big red button on the right , which is the reset system of the suit, during which, Vader is tremendously vulnerable.

Antinnis Tremayne was about to beat Vader in combat after pressing a chest chest button, which shows how cautious to be the Lord Sith.

Utilities for combat

We then went to the three boxes we can see in Darth Vader s belt. The central box contains some spare energy cells and communication systems.

The box on the left controls the breathing system, being able to modulate it to increase or reduce the respiratory frequency of the suit .

This function is very useful, considering that the sound of Darth Vader s breathing is not precisely subtle. We assume that it is the control that He uses in Bespin, as ambushed in a cloud city hall to Luke Skywalker during Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Backing.

The box on the right is responsible for the ambient control of the suit, that is, the temperature. In Hoth we see that Vader does not need to take any special equipment to withstand the icy temperatures.

The Empire Assault Soldier Suits incorporate similar systems, but in extreme climates they require accessories so as not to be as dispensable.

As you can see, All Vader s costume controls are designed to keep the Sith alive , although the vulnerability of these controls is striking.

Lord Sith himself stands out in the novel Darth Vader: The Dark Lord, when he complains about the cyber implants he has, much less sophisticated than the arm they put on him when the Count Doooku cut off his arm.

A theory that has always circulated by the network is that Palpatine did not want Darth Vader to be invulnerable, hence the costume controls that held him alive were always in sight .
