And I can't state often enough how absolutely brilliant Hayden Christensen is. He really took over Vader's body language and speech patterns and blended them with Jake Lloyd's performance. The way he walks, e.g. into Palpatine's office when the fight between Mace and Palpatine is already on going, is just perfect. Or the way he stands in meditations, turns his head, ... It's all there. I think that's a big part of why we now can see Anakin in Vader so clearly.
Hayden did such a great job. And I have a lot of respect for little Jake Lloyd now, too (part of that was seeing the audition with the other two boys -- I agree with Lucas that Jake had a quality, a sweet naturalness about him).
