Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

"The Force is strong with this one." ― Vader in A New Hope Darth Vader (Real name: Anakin Skywalker) is the pivotal antagonist in the original Star Wars trilogy. He is the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, husband of Padmé Amidala, and the grandfather of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.

He was portrayed by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones in the original trilogy.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He has become one of the most iconic villains in popular culture, and has been listed among the greatest villains and fictional characters ever.
 * 2) * And even if you're never a fan or unfamiliar with Star Wars, you can still recognize Vader with his design.
 * 3) His line, "No, I am your father," (even though it's constantly misquoted as "Luke, I am your father") is one of the most well known quotes in cinema history.
 * 4) He was portrayed very well by James Earl Jones.
 * 5) His iconic status has made the character a synonym for evil in popular culture.
 * 6) *This is quite ironic, though, considering his redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi.
 * 7) His design is nice to look at.
 * 8) The scene in Rogue One featuring Darth Vader himself is awesome.
 * 9) He is a very intimidating villain, especially his first appearance in A New Hope.
 * 10) His redemption can bring viewers to tears, because he sacrificed himself to save his son from the Emperor.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His relationship with Padmé in the second prequel feels very forced. At least The Clone Wars series made their relationship look real, genuine and cute without it being forced
