After so many stories about Anakin Skywalker, from The Clone Wars to Ahsoka to the prequel movies, is Darth Vader still a scary Star Wars villain?
The Big Picture Is a humanized Darth Vader still an effective villain? See, a long time ago, 1977 to be precise, in a galaxy far, far... nope, this galaxy, Star Wars was still just Star Wars , and the release of the space adventure exceeded the most optimistic of expectations. The film became a touchstone moment for those who lined up for blocks just to see it. It was simply unlike anything else.
Everything about him screamed villain, a black hat character not to be messed with. That commanding voice from James Earl Jones. The imposing physical presence of David Prowse, made even more menacing with the all-black costume. Then there was that breathing, an unsettling, persistent sound that added just that much more intimidation. Was Darth Vader a man, or a machine? It was almost impossible to know for certain.
The Star Wars Prequels Introduce the Man Behind Darth Vader: Anakin Skywalker Our first introduction to Anakin Skywalker, the man behind the Darth Vader mask, is in Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi, in the moments following the Emperor's "death" by his hand. As Luke takes off the mask, we see the final breaths of a frail, scarred Anakin , at peace after his return to the light side of the Force.
The prequels succeeded in giving a face and humanity to the tragic backstory of Darth Vader. As George Lucas himself puts it in an interview with Vanity Fair, "You learn that Darth Vader isn't this monster. He's a pathetic individual who made a pact with the Devil and lost. And he's trapped. He's a sad, pathetic character, not an evil big monster." That success, though, was problematic.
There are two moments, in turn, that give Darth Vader the viciousness missing from the movies. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story captures the moments leading into the events of A New Hope, with Darth Vader boarding the Rebel command ship in order to regain the Death Star plans. It's here that we see Vader unleashed for the very first time as he throws Rebel troops around with a wave of his hand, killing many through his mastery of the dark side of the Force and his ominous lightsaber.
