Description Darth Vader was always a symbol of power and terror. His mask was designed to inspire fear and intimidation throughout the galaxy. Vader was the Black knight to the Evil Empire, the right hand to the Emperor.
In the Original “The Star Wars” as it was in 1977 - Lord Vader was described as:
(LORD) DARTH VADER “First Knight of the Sith”. A seven foot tall Black Knight of the Sith, Vader is “right hand” to the Master of the Sith, Espaa Valorum. His sinister face is partially obscured by his flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask, which are in sharp contrast to the fascist white armored suits of the Imperial stormtroopers. Lord Vader speaks in an oddly filtered voice through his complex breathing mask. He is unspeakably evil and terrifying. He is sadistic and brutal, and tends to laugh horribly. Although he is a strong leader among the Sith, he is feared by Imperial troops, and he dislikes the Imperials he has to work with. In the Battle of Yavin, Vader’s ship crashed into Han Solo’s starship. Whether Vader survived is unclear.

So when I set out to redesign Vader for this project it was a challenge because I wanted someone who was both imposing and agile. In Star Wars Darth Vader is Luke’s Father, an aged relic of a lost age. While he was feared, he was not challenged as a warrior. He was truly alone in the universe. In the “The Star Wars” Lord Vader is a deadly assassin for the Sith and acts as the tip of the spear for the Empire’s agenda.
So this Vader needed to be equipped for The Wilderness that is the Star Wars Galaxy. He needed to be aggressive, dangerous and most of all he needed to be agile.

I disagree Dusky. True the pose is similar (a standing archback pose is pretty common) but the arms, tone and attitude are very different.
Thanks for the feedback
