Darth Vader, formerly known in his Jedi Knight days as Anakin Skywalker, is a famous villain of the famous space opera series of films, Star Wars. He is Dark Lord of the Sith, an ace pilot, and he serves as the right-hand enforcer of Emperor Palpatine (the main villain of the Star Wars franchise).
Biography[]
Background[]
Anakin Skywalker was miraculously conceived by Shmi Skywalker, on the planet Tatooine. He was born into a life of slavery until the age of 9. At that time, he was discovered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who came to believe that Skywalker was the Chosen One of Jedi lore, destined to destroy the Sith and bring balance to The Force. After Jinn's death at the hands of a Sith on Naboo, Skywalker was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two grew a brother-like bond, after serving together during the Clone Wars. Within weeks of the war, he was promoted to Jedi Knight by Yoda. He killed Darth Tyrannus/Count Dooku during a rescue mission in order to save Chancellor Palpatine from General Grievous.
He married Senator Amidala on Naboo shortly after the Battle of Geonosis. Because of the Jedi Code, they were forced to keep their relationship a secret from the public. Only a select few were aware, R2-D2 and C-3PO were among them. Upon his return after killing Dooku, Skywalker found out that his wife was pregnant, further complicating their future and their ability to hide their relationship.
Unfortunately, Skywalker was turned to the Dark Side, after being persuaded by the Supreme Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine, a Sith Lord, in order to save his loved ones from death. Skywalker was dubbed Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith. After slaughtering the Jedi in the Temple and the Separatists on Mustafar, he was confronted by his wife and former master. Feeling betrayed by everyone he knew, he mortally choked his wife and then engaged Kenobi in combat. He lost the fight after he lost both his legs and left arm. Seconds later, he caught on fire and suffered severe burns to the point that he had to wear a life-support suit for the rest of his life.
Vader eventually became a ruthless leader and a head figure of the Empire. Unlike the Emperor, he doesn't accept any failures, often using the Force to choke his victims to their deaths. He uses the Force to predict future events. He can use his lightsaber and the Force to deflect any blaster fire.
He died saving Luke from Darth Sidious's force lightning, and he killed the Emperor.
Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars[]
He makes a few cameo appearances in "Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars", serving as the master of Darthenshmirtz. He is seen ignoring Darthenshmirtz while the latter was trying to get his attention. He later chokes the imperial officer when he accidentally gave him Buford's hoagie instead of his socks. He lastly seen in his fighter chasing Luke in the trench.
Physical Appearance[]
He looks the same as he did in the Star Wars Original Trilogy. Vader is clad head to toe in a black suit designed to keep him alive, with his recognizable black helmet. A respirator is connected from his mouth and nose to the control panel on his chest armor. A black cape drapes over his shoulders and back.
Production information[]
- Eddie Pittman was supposed to only be the temporary voice actor. Matt Sloan, who voiced Vader in the video games and other media, was originally cast but Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh believed Pittman sounded more like the original, so they used Pittman's reading instead.
Trivia[]
- It was unknown why Vader would need to wear socks as both of his legs were severed by Obi-Wan during a failed attempt to strike the latter in Revenge of the Sith, thus being replaced by those of cybernetics.
