I just chalk it up to him being much closer to the transport than he was to the Falcon or the Blockade Runner. Plus they were moving faster.

I wouldn't discount that train of thought. In the video Emily said that this Vader was the first all-new effort on Darth Vader that they had done in 10+ years. Previous releases, like the ROGUE ONE Vader, were based on previous sculpts. When Hasbro made that 500th edition Darth Vader they kept on cranking out Vader releases based on that figure for years to follow.
Over in the Obi-Wan Wednesday thread I didn't realize that the whole 4-LOM vs 1-JAC thing was such A THING.
I'm still pretty happy to see callbacks like this to the OT, especially the bounty hunters. IIRC, the Legends backstory for 4-LOM was that the droid had been a protocol droid that was somehow re-programmed and became a bounty hunter, and partnered up with Zuckuss.
There are some distinct differences between the two droids - the differing weapons, and the holsters and bandolier on 1-JAC. The idea of this model of droid being a "Bounty Droid", as Din Djarin referred to IG-11, seems to expand the world of Star Wars a bit.
The toxic negativity of every online fandom is almost suffocating.
My wife is out of town and I can’t watch until Friday night.
Is there a new Vader out today too?
Vader and Meatcutter BlueShirt Obi-Wan are tomorrow at 1pm ET
Just watched episode 3.
Ho. Lee. ****.
