he had a black guy voice and he was not luke's father in 1977
Did people in 1977 imagine Vader was african behind the helmet ?
no
yeah mang dey thaught Elvis wuz a nigga before dey saw da tv
You must be clinically retarded user
He actually doesn't sound black. That's what makes it good. He has low and pretensional tone. Unlike whiney ooogaboooga n sheeit black tone.
it's not like he was talking jive. it was just a deep, menacing voice
>only black character in the movie
>absentee father
Really, George?
thought he was a robot when I first saw him
Lmao tryhard
When his helmet comes off he's no nigger
I'm sorry it offends you
I was hoping he'd be black in the face reveal scene just because it would've been funny. It would also help explain that Obi-wan's claim of Vader killing Luke's father. It could've been some Don Draper situation.
>did people in 1977 imagine Vader was african behind the helmet ?
No.
As a kid I didn't even know the voice was a black man's voice.
>black character is a violent murderer
Raimi must have really rubbed off on lucas
Most people weren't regularly exposed enough to Jones's voice to think anything of it, beyond intimidation.
No
As a kid in the 90s I thought he was white only knew him from the lion kang
You were half right.
I wish he was half right. It ended up just being a life support system. I was hoping there would be some soulless machinery going on that would override his brains but he's immediately "kind" to Luke.
Some people did, some people didn't. Dumb thread.
a transfather maybe
most people assumed he was a robot
No. Everyone saw him as white or thought his race was irrelevant.
Just because you were 100% wrong doesn't mean other user wasn't 50% right.
t. Obi-wan
It didn't even occur to me to think "what's Vader's skin color?".
The only people that thought he was blacks were actual blacks.
No we didn't.
I thought he was a legit robot and that was his face
Black people were not allowed on television or film at that time
yes, we did zoomer
Literal retards.
As a kid in the 80s no one thought he was a robot.
I asked everyone just now and there was one Mexican and one Race:Other who thought he was black.
