“All too easy.”
"You have failed me for the last time, Admiral"
-Darth Vader from the Star Wars Movies

With no surprise, Darth Vader beat out every other villain in this event, even getting more points than the top hero. And why wouldn’t he, he’s Darth Vader! Vader’s character started in the first (sorry, fourth) Star Wars Movie “The New Hope” as the brutal right-hand-man of the galaxy’s evil empire. He was played by the 6 foot 7 actor David Prowse and was given a deep, powerful voice by the legendary actor James Earl Jones.

He wore all black (as a good villain should) which included a long, menacing, black cape. His head and face was covered in a helmet and breathing mask. His mask was hooked up to a breathing system which kept him alive as well as constantly making a machine creepy breathing sound. He had mechanical organs and limps integrated with his body do to injuries of the past. With all this, his appearance made him look evil, frightening, and inhuman. Good qualities of a great villain.

Even though he looked cool and menacing, it was more what he did that made him evil and a great villain. He worked for the Empire and did what ever needed to be done, in the most brutal fashion. He killed when ever necessary (and sometimes not necessary), which included his own men (5) and even children (3). Darth Vader, is a cunning and commanding villain. He sets the traps, makes the deals, conquers the galaxy in his own way.

Though he is a terrific general, he is a even greater warrior. He piloting skills were said to be unmatched, his light saber swordsmanship was nearly unrivaled, and his power with the force was supreme (excluding the empire). With these talents he made a name for himself killing off the protectors of the Galaxy, the Jedi.

Though he started out was quite a nice guy. He was a kind boy named Anakin Skywalker (1), who grew up to be a great Jedi. He even felling love and got married (2). But the quest for power lead him to the dark side and he became a Dark Lord of the Sith (3) (Note: not a Dork Lord or the Steve). He became Darth Vader, the badest of the Bad. Though I wish George Lucas make the transition between Anakin and Vader less abrupt; one minute he’s working for the Jedi, the next, he’s killing little Jedi children. But that’s not the only thing that I wish Luca did so we‘ll forget that for now.

Though Vader good at first and was redeemed in the end of the series (6), he still was the evil power that made the series great. Don’t believe me? You don’t see Luke or even Han on the list do you? The character in the series we really remember is the walking-life-support-system, red-light-saber-wielding, black-cape-wearing, chokehold-using Darth Vader. Darth Vader is number one.
