Why would Vader switch his robes for like a year or two and then switch back, that's stupid. You think he cares about his fashion statement or comfort level? It's just a continuity error and they're still sticking with not using the New Hope version Vader, which is my favorite version of the character.

First off, I was kidding.

Second off, who says it's stupid that he decides not to wear his robes over his shoulders for awhile vs not.

The New Hope version is the most disliked look for Vader, people prefer his glossy helmet, no suspender look, so it's obvious why the movie went this route.

You like the new Hope look, guess what? There is a Hot Toys version of it. The Helmet in a New Hope looks poorly made in comparison to his Empire and future looks, I see exactly why they didn't go that route. They perfected his look when he became the big bad guy in Empire.
