Darth Vader is one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars universe, known for his imposing presence, deep mechanical breathing, and black armor. Once a heroic Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker, he fell to the dark side of the Force and became a Sith Lord under the name Darth Vader. His story is one of tragedy and redemption, as he struggles with the consequences of his choices and the remnants of the good still within him. As a powerful enforcer of the Galactic Empire, he is feared across the galaxy, yet behind the mask lies a man torn by loss, regret, and the hope of reclaiming his lost humanity. His transformation, loyalty to Emperor Palpatine, and eventual return to the light side through the love of his son, Luke Skywalker, make his journey one of the most compelling in cinematic history.
