I found Vader in The Phantom Menace!

I don´t know if this has been seen or posted before, so I´ll go ahead.

I was watching TPH today and suddenly noticed that when you see out of the sub Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Jar Jar use from Gungan city, you see the eyes from the inside of Vaders mask...

Check it!

hehe ... too cool! I ´ve never noticed ... LOL

Great find!

Merry xmas cr4nky!

Manuel

Merry christmas to you too!

I never seen it before either... but of course I had my eyes shut 3/4 the way through that movie....what an awful,awful, movie...lol

Hehe... NOt one of my favorites either. But, hey, when my 2 year old son asks if we can watch Star Wars for the first time, it's a good place to start :-)

Very good observation Cr4nky! Merry Christmas!

no no, when he asks to watch star wars you start him at episode 4. just like the rest of us started there. no need to make him hate star wars before he gets into it.

Plus if you start with Ep1 then there is no supprise for him when he finds out who Vader really is, and what not. You probally don't remember but when you first saw Empire you were probally shocked and afraid when Vader told Luke he was his father. Don't ruin that for your kid by starting with EP1 and working your way through.

If you look in the distance in the clouds,,top left you will see Slave 1,,,can you see it,,I do!!!!

I fell over and sweeped my coffee-pot from the desk...

Great comment !

JaJa, is true, good search friend!!!!!!!!!

Good find!!!

next question: Was it intentional or coincidental?

LOL! Too funny! I swear....The time we have to notice this stuff!

my guess is they did it intentionally. Those guys seem to really have fun with it and hide all types of stuff in there. All of you who have watched the films with the commentary on know what Im talking about, sinks flying into spaceships....etc

There is only one of two ways you can see ESB without knowing Vader is Luke's dad before hand

1.) Today is the openining day of the film in 1980 and you still think the big secret is obi wan killed lukes father

OR

2.) You have been living in a cave on Mars for the last 29 years with your ears shut and your eyes close going "lalalalalalalalala".

Seriously, if you watch TV, read, or pretty much listen to people at all you already know that Vader is lukes father

As for me, I wasn't born with the first 3 came out, and didn't see them till I was 12. By then I already knew the father son thing, although I didnt see the brother/sister thing coming at all.

I know, but he's still at the age where he might get through half a movie before he's got some more "pressing business" to attend to. He's gonna start out with the OT when he can sit through a movie and then he can see the "other three" if he feels like it. I don't really like any of the new ones.

great find

Thats not true, someone here on TDH many years ago was talking about their cousin or nephew or something being like 12 or so, who didn't know Vader was Luke's father, and they were trying to decide how to show them the SW movies. The kid lived a sheltered life I guess.

always start with A new hope!

I agree with CombatBaby. If I have kids to show the movie to, A New Hope will be first.

Yeah, me to. But as long as he's as young as my kid, I might as well show him TPH backwards, in arabic, it wouldn't matter as he only wants to see the big fish outside gungan city:-P

Come his 3 year birthday, or there abouts, he might get something out of the "real" SW-movies. It's all about the images for a kid that doesn't understand english for at least 3-4 years still you know. :-) I was just happy he asked to watch Star Wars in the first place.

Of coarse I wouldnt show them until they were a bit older. I agree, showing it to a 3 year old makes no difference.

we are not even talking about the vader mask theory anymore, Sorry. I still think they planned it out like that as a subliminal preview. The imagery when he first dawns the mask is too similar to be an accident, IMO.

Yeah, I too agree that it's probably intentional.

Cool detail nonetheless.

i never noticed. but then again, i only really watch the huge Maul duel @ the end. do your ad'ika right: start him off @ ep 3. or the clone wars (Hey I thought it wasn't THAT bad: My 2 y/o LOVES it. and it CAN't Possibly be worse than TPM)

I´m currently watching Clone Wars myself. I kinda like it, so I´m gonna put him through that story in a while:-)
