Darth+Vader

=Darth Vader= Emily Crossette

Darth Vader, once an innocent adolescent prodigy, fell to the dark side upon experiencing both anger at his mother’s murder and a strong desire for the power to save his wife from death. Jedi forces first noticed the future villain as a talented boy named of Anakin Skywalker, ‘the chosen one’. However, Anakin also possessed uncontrolled emotion, when he heard of his mother’s murder by an invading group; Anakin slaughtered the entire group of men, women, and children to satisfy his uncontrollable vengeance. The leader of the dark side, Palpatine, manipulates young Anakin Skywalker into joining the dark side by promising more power, which could enable him to save his wife from imminent death. Palpatine, or Dark Lord Sith, turns Anakin against the Jedi forces by blaming his losses on Jedi failure and corruption. In the original trilogy, Vader’s nemesis is his son Luke Skywalker who represents the Jedi’s whom Vader blames for his previous losses. In one encounter with Luke, Vader tries to convince the young Jedi to join him, “You do not know the Power of the Dark side.” Darth Vader tries to manipulate Luke by telling him he belongs on the dark side with his father and unlimited power.

 This comic book interpretation represents his deep-seated anger upon hearing his wife died because of his own failings. The destruction of the machines around and the flustering of the cape behind him show the power of his anger. The Dark background and clothing represents his turn to the dark side. His clenched fists raised in the air represent his rage at the Jedi forces. His head facing up in the air shows his determination for revenge.
