Darth Vader Darth Vader, for me, has never been a particularly compelling villain. I do find his turn at the end of Return of the Jedi to be fascinating, and in terms of design, his sleek, polished exterior pulls like a black hole on the viewer, an indescribable mass of presence on the cinema screen. But Vader's origin story proved to be one that destroyed the mystique of the character. Much in the way that giving personal motivation to the Joker lessens his role as a force of comic book nature, Vader loses that timeless quality when he's anchored around the neck by this intensely mundane person with intensely mundane problems. The fact that the Jedi can't see the Mommy Problem that exists in the heart of Anakin Skywalker really diminishes their wisdom, and the rise of Vader really only lands with me in the scenes featuring Palpatine. Still, when I can step away from Anakin, I enjoy the character. Rating: 71/100 --- "It is too easy being monsters.
