"Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival"

I do not own this content, all content belongs to the respected film creator.

Vader in the original: BRING SHUTTLE

Vader in the special edition: "Would you dignified members of the Galactic Empire be so kind as to make my Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer aware that I, Lord Darth Vader of the Galactic Empire, am currently heading towards their current location and will be arriving there shortly"

[G]

That line just doesn’t give the same piss off energy as “bring me my shuttle”

[goodmyndsetband]

“Bring my shuttle” sounds more bad ass

[jameswatson]

Bring my Shuttle! !! The original line.

[MrRelic]

What does his star destroyer need to prepare? Putting away the Family Reunion party stuff because Luke said no?

[The_Marvelist]

The original line was purposed that way to show to the point and emotional Vader was at that moment. Before then, he was more sophisticated and wordy when he talked, but right there, he was pissed off and was not taking any bs.

[MikeDragon]

What are you preparing? You're always preparing, just go!

[trevormichel]

I'm sorry but this is the most gangster thing I've ever heard.

[AndrewChapman]

I've just realised, earlier after Han's frozen in carbonite, Vader then orders Lando to take Leia and Chewie to his ship. I assume he meant his shuttle and hinting it's already on the landing platform. But later in this scene (in the original version), he orders "Bring my shuttle!", now implying it isn't on the platform and needs to come pick them up. So maybe that's partly why Lucas had Vader's line changed in the Special Edition, to make it clear his shuttle was on the platform the whole time. And also cuz of 0:06.

Original imperial march arrangement, "Bring my shuttle" and the last 2 seconds cutting on the outdoor hangar.
The only thing I've changed

[TedShatner]

He sounds much more colder and remote with this line; with the original "Bring my shuttle...!" bark he sounds more petulant and spoilt, like he's stomping off the playing field with the football.

[StarBill-jo]

I’m going to miss James Earl Jones. His Vader voice was so haunting yet brilliant. Rest in peace

[eggsbenedict]

The way he says 'Arrival' is just so sassy.

[tomn]

In 1980, it was "Bring my shuttle".

[CaptainM]

“Prepare my shuttle for immediate departure.”

[edwardelric]

Well, since Lucas insisted on adding the shot of him walking to his already parked shuttle, the "Bring my shuttle" line would've just made Vader seem really awkward. I guess; changing this around kind of ruins how pissed Vader was after his duel with Luke.

[jacobrosenbalm]

Bring my bus to repair for my arrival me when I'm coming back to my old school 😂

[unit]

You misheard, he said: "Bring my shuttle."

[Scarecrow]

This is quite possibly my least favorite change. Too verbose. "Bring my shuttle" had Vader sounding like he was fuming in a very Vader-like way (cold fury, rather than impassioned shouting). That, alongside his body language (that fast-walk), was all we needed to see to know that he was PISSED.

[mastermaker]

I get why they changed the line, if you recall Vader already told Lando to take Chewie and Leia to his ship, so that means that during the Luke vs Vader duel, his shuttle was already waiting for him and his captives
