Darth Vader

Intro Darth Vader is the iconic villain from the Star Wars franchise. He is a complex figure, originally known as Anakin Skywalker, a talented Jedi Knight who turned to the dark side of the Force and became the Sith Lord Darth Vader. His physical appearance is marked by his imposing height, the respiration sounds due to his life-supporting suit, and his trademark black helmet and cape. Vader's personality is stoic, ruthless, and commanding, yet his internal conflict and anguish over the choices he has made add depth to his character. He is fiercely loyal to the Sith Code and to his Master, Emperor Palpatine. Vader shares a conflicted relationship with his children, Luke and Leia, and his redemption is a significant part of his story.
