His helmet alone possessed small sticky needles that would send neurological information of his brainwaves to the central computer of his suit, located in his chest. In all, his suit was essentially designed for pain. Vader even had to adjust the size and weight of his new lightsaber to fit his new suit and grip. Darth Vader felt constantly claustrophobic by the suit.

One glance at Darth Vader's suit and you'll think to yourself, "how can this ever be comfortable?" The whole suit looks freakishly heavy and there's no way that the mask must be fun to wear, let alone breathe in. And so, here are 25 weird facts only super fans know about Darth Vader's body. Only until recent years were most of Darth Vader's machine-like functions revealed to us. It is exactly his machine-like build and his mask that made us fans want to know more about our favorite dark lord. "He's more machine now than man," as an old Ben Kenobi would say. Darth Vader's concept would only continue to entice us more based on his attire. To others, it came when crossing blades with Ben Kenobi and to some, it was claiming to be Luke's seemingly perished father. To the older generations, it started in his emergence from the blinding smoke and later subduing Captain Raymus Antilles to the end. What struck Darth Vader as such an awesome figure in our childhood imaginations is in his ambiguity and ominousness. His confusion and the concept of who he was, allowed for George Lucas and his production team to go ahead to make the prequel movies (of which I find not as bad as my colleagues do).

The dark villain has always puzzled his fans of whom he struck terror into, only to be later turned good. He's the pinnacle of dark lords, evilness, and, of course, Luke's father.

Calling Darth Vader a cultural icon is a bit of understatement.
