Yup. There's absolutely no chance that Vader changes his helmet in the future. Nope. As soon as he puts that helmet on, it's the only one he'll ever wear again. Yup.
**EDIT** Plus if you look at it, the distorted features are because of the smoke and the waving cape, the helmet looks pretty much right to me once you look past that.
I have to agree with Stick (god forbid it ever happens again) if you look at it as an amalgamation of Vaders helmet and a capey thing rather than just Vaders helmet it kinda makes sense.
The helmet was made exactly the same as the one used for all episodes 4-6. I think this movie will probably be the best one. Not because it will have the juiciest story and fighting sequences but because I am hoping the helmet will cover up Hayden's face so we won't have to see him "act".
Decided to see if I could make it a little less sucky. Got a nice shot of Darth Vaders face and merged it over the original. Only a five minute job here...

I will probably wait a few days/weeks until the little kids have been satiated and I can enjoy the movie without all of the cheering/applause/laughs of 4th graders. What really hurt episode 2 for me were all the Jerry Springer like comments that people shouted at the screen when Yoda appeared at the end. Hoots and hollers and cheers do not belong in a movie theatre.

I don't see what's so bad about the picture. It's Darth Vader's cape, his helmet, and Haiden Christensen. Apart from Haiden Christensen's face in it, it looks pretty good to me.

Doesn't mean Ep3 won't be crap though...
OMG guys do you think that the cape is meant to signify Vader? Holy cow that is so cool.
The poster would have been a thousand times better if it only gave a hint of Vader in the folds/smoke.
