UPDATE: Just did "SW: Where Science meets the Imagination" in Seattle. Haven't made it home yet. However, I did have a chance to check out all the pictures I took. Most are very sharp and clear. At the exhibit, it became obvious why most of the pics posted on the internet all look similar. And why many of them are out of focus. The enclosure the Vader costume is in, really bites. The best pictures work with a tripod, but the complete suit stands at least 6 1/2 feet tall and standing on a 6 inch tall platform. The tallest tripod I could find is 5 foot 5 inches. And, there is way too much reflective light on the glass. It is almost impossible to take a picture without some kind reflection. As soon as I can get home and get them in my system, I will post some here.

Does anyone know if the RotS Vader was shown any time again after Celebration III ??
I heard he got damaged there. ( helmet mounting broken)
There were many exhibits since this celebration, but i have not found any new pic's of the RotS Vader since 2005.

There were three Vader helmets used in RotS. One was the reveal in 3
pieces that we see on display today, one was the whole hero helmet
and a third that was a complete facemask
section that was used with an anchor (like the dome) when they originally
shot the sequence with the whole facemask as one piece.
