I read the other day that Darth Vader was 6'7" in the original Star Wars. How tall is the actor who plays Anakin (since he ends up being Darth)?

He gets burned severely near a lava flow at the end of a long fight with Obi Wan... he is basically a torso and head... During his long operation to keep him alive, they give him fake legs (which are a foot taller than normal legs-- something DEFINTELY inconsistent visually anyway) and the Vader mask... they must have given him fake shoulders also and a fake longer torso... it is obvious it is a different person... THAT was the least believeable part of the whole story...

I believe Hayden's real height is six foot one inches.

To stay true to the story, Darth doesn't have to be the same actor as Anakin since he's been essentially completely rebuilt - plus since he lost both legs and they're replaced with bionic ones they could be different heights from time to time. (like the cop in Young Frankenstein with the interchangeable arms...)

How tall is the actor who plays Anakin (since he ends up being Darth)? I don't think that matters, since Obi-Wan hacked off about a foot and a half from his height. ;)
