the personality behind Vader's mask remains that of a petulant teenager

Of _course_ it is. Look at the way he acts in 4-6 - every time someone annoys him even a teeny bit he kills them on the spot (if not reigned in).

Evil _isn't_ cool and calm and controlled. It's violent and demanding and a pain in the ass.

I'm certainly not saying he was cool and controlled in the original films, but he never seemed quite so sullen before. To me, anyway.

He had learned to kill rather than kvetch.

It's your fault I snerked at the Wookie line, you know. Nobody else in the cinema got it. They all looked at me. :p

Which is the reason I'm looking forward to seeing all 6 of them - see how the original 3 feel recontextualised.

I am, of course, only capable of making women swoon from distances greater than 100 miles.
