Darth Vader has always been the best villain of Star Wars, but ObiWanKenobi has turned him into the scariest version of himself.
While Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains of all time, even the most hardcore Star Wars fan got to admit he doesn’t do much in the main films. Be it due to technical limitations or age-ratings concerns, Darth Vader’s imposing figure was mainly built by his iconic armor and the bone-chilling voice of James Earl Jones. But when it comes to evil deeds, most of Darth Vader’s cruel actions happen out of frame, more suggested than shown.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY While the Darth Vader version depicted in comic books, novels, and even video games has always been brutal, most Star Wars fans only follow the main line of films – and now the Disney+ shows. That means there are millions of Darth Vader's fans who never got to see him give into his rage and pain to the point of destroying innocent lives without even blinking.
Following a similar trend, the prequel trilogy shows some of Anakin Skywalker's most vicious actions out of the frame. We know Anakin slaughtered a whole tribe of Sand People to get revenge for his mother’s death, and we still shiver when Anakin draws his lightsaber in the Jedi Temple, ready to slay every Padawan.
While Star Wars fans who followed the Legends works were used to Vader being scary, the majority of fans are rediscovering the Sith Lord’s powers thanks to Disney’s latest productions. More than an isolated case, Episode 3 of Obi-Wan Kenobi draws inspiration from the closing scene of Rogue One, one of the first films produced under Disney's command.
