Hey Robert... this thread is actually for discussing WHY Vader needs tweaking and aspects of his design; the actual tweak suggestions are currently in a different thread "Now Let's Tweak Vader" (although they're going to call your tweak a "redesign").

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo-clock.
