We didn’t have to wait too long to understand the significance of a character like Darth Vader. It was to start Star Wars , to see how an imperial destroyer chases after Princess Leia’s diplomatic ship to realize that that dark figure that appeared in the corridors was the bad guy of the movie. Although his legend did not stop there and was enlarged with the passing of each new installment.
a key character
That tall character, practically converted into a robot, gained strength, notoriety and weight in the plot until a key moment in his biography arrived. That “I am your father” that left all viewers of The Empire Strikes Back frozen for what it meant for the history of the Skywalkers. From that moment on, things were not the same and the illustrious Lord Vader became the central axis of practically the entire plot arc.
What came after you know very well: the final redemption of Return of the Jedi and the first three episodes that are, in essence, a detailed narration of the life path traveled by that evil man who, according to his own words, ended up killing Anakin Skywalker , the candid boy who drove pods across the plains of Tatooine and fell in love with a noblewoman from the planet Naboo.
Now, if everything that we already had in our backpack did not seem like much, it has been the recently concluded Obi-Wan Kenobi series that has finished settling some controversies that were left with doubts between the end of Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars. And it is that, at last, it is possible to see the whole picture without losing (apparently) its perspective.
The best moments of the villain
Talking about the best moments of a villain we do not know if it is a good sign. What is certain is that between the first six films of the franchise, Rogue One and this Obi-Wan Kenobi , it is already possible to close the universe of Darth Vader to show his entire life path since he was a child (and they discover that will bring balance to the Force) until he redeems himself in the arms of his own son Luke. And that’s what you can see right here below.
