A huge number of fans still love the legacy of Star Wars. I think one fiction character we do pay much attention is Darth Vader. He is the greatest villain of our time. Otherwise, he is misunderstood. Least to say he misunderstood his siblings and the world around him. In fact who did make him this way? My best answer is Chancellor Palpatine who later becomes the Emperor. Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker who was an innocent little boy, which became the figure we hated him before in his adulthood. However, Darth jumped to too many conclusions of his family, friends, and the universe. He thought he had everything figured out. The rebellion had to convince him that he is making the galaxy into an evil place. The whole landscape of the galaxy looked complex because of the Emperor’s ruling. Darth Vader did know about love and compassion, but was afraid to show it and use it for good. Instead he used it for evil deeds. In his right mind he though he was doing the right thing, and that the Emperor was a good guy. It took him at the ending of Return of the Jedi to realize that the Emperor is evil and had to destroy him. In the Star Wars saga this was Darth Vader’s story. Anakin had love from his uncles, and his mom, which she was enslaved by the evil sand people. He tried to save the world, but couldn’t save himself from it, until at the very end of his life. He meant to do good and great things, but at the end of his life he did by saving his son’s life, and the galaxy altogether. He is thought as the hero of the franchise George Lucas created.

Cool! I never really thought about Star Wars that way, that the entire six movie saga is Darth’s story, how he fell into evil ways, but ultimately saved the galaxy. interesting.
You always learn new things. Yes, It’s his story.
Interesting, especially since my grandson is captivated by this story. Cheers, Muriel
That is a good point–everything is made right in the end, when Vader realizes he’s being manipulated by Palpatine (who’s really a kind of “Satan”), and destroys Palpatine rather than his son Luke.
I really wish it were as simple, in real life, as it is in the “Star Wars” story.
Excellent insight!
Thanks!
I enjoyed this. đŸ™‚ Though I don’t read much science fiction these days, I did see the early Star Wars films. Dating myself, of course (LOL). George Lucas offered up quite a variety of villains. I agree w/ you that Anakin chose to use evil means to achieve what he felt were good ends. Alot of people make the same mistake. Thank you, by the way, for your recent follow. Best wishes!
You’re welcome!
