The realization that somewhere, in-universe, there’s some audio tech who had t design Darth Vader’s voice.

I mean- Palpatine oversaw all the aspects of Vader’s suit development, right? Which naturally includes his voice since Vader’s vocal cords got pretty darn crisped.

So some audio tech not only had to design the new voice for Darth Vader, the Emperor’s terrifying new right hand and enforcer, but probably had to go to planning meetings with and get feedback from Palpatine.

Palpatine: No. Up the bass. I want his voice to rumble through you like a thunderstorm on Kamino. 

Palpatine: Also give him just a bit of a Coruscanti accent. He’s gotta sound cultured and intimidating.

Palpatine: And up all the input. Darth Vader must not sound like he’s mumbling.

Palpatine: And put a shield on the microphone. We can’t have him popping all his plosives, that’s just going to drive me crazy.
