Dark Side Anakin as a skin for Vader

As the title says, I think this would be a really cool alternate skin (hood up with cloak) as standard Vader doesn't really have many alternate skins other than some very minor variations. This way we could have a Vader with a completely different look, but same abilities (they may have to rerecord his dialogue for this skin, but would be amazing nonetheless) to fit the persona (it wouldn't really work as a skin for the Light Side Anakin that we'll eventually/hopefully get). Force Unleashed Battle Damaged Vader would also be a pretty cool skin, even if it's non-canon now.

  • Vader and Anakin move and fight completely different. You can't just give Vader an Anakin Skin. You would have to change everything else too. Or do you want an Anakin who is walking and fighting like the Vader in the last Battlefront? This wouldn't work. 

  • I have no problem with that, adds more visual variety to the game. Better than an alternate skin for Vader that looks almost exactly the same.

  • I have to say I also have no problem with it. Besides they could add a modifer so some powers are slightly weaker at the cost of moving quicker as I imagine darth vader (suit) will be slower moving.

    I like the idea. Maybe the best solution would be to add in light side Anakin as the hero but for his dark side version he can fight the same but just have a mix of abilities that classic Vader has like force choke for example. Only issue I see with this is it may get a bit confusing when dark side Anakin ( Vader) is fighting against the clones with the droids. So it may not fit well in the regular game modes. But if they add a mode where the clones are executing order 66 or something like that then it would most defiantly fit in or if it was just exclusive to the Hero vs villain mode. It is hard to add him in because dark side Anakin wasn't really like that for long until he got his suit. 

    But at this point who really cares they already mixed all the Eras up anyway so why not.
