Let's face it: Darth Vader sucks. He used to be cool. Ultimate movie bad guy. Icon of evil. Now the new STAR WARS movies show us that he WAS going to be pretty cool, but blew it all & wound up wearing an iron lung for the next 3 movies.
Remember that scene from the 1st STAR WARS where Vader chokes that guy from across the room? We all thought it showed how cool he was, but as adults, we know the real subtext: Vader is the low man on the totem in this boardroom. Face it: If you're the only guy without a chair at the big meeting, you definitely made bad career choices.
Now that we know the root of Vader's problems are mommy issues, and that he killed all his old friends 'cause he was afraid of losing his girl, he DEFINITELY sucks.

Great blog! Those Vader cartoons are amazing, it's sad Vader's been ruined.
You're so right about the choking scene.
I used to think Vader was like the head-honcho from corporate, come to inspect the local branch. But in light of the prequels, it seems that he's just a bitter kitchen manager who has to choke out a bus boy or two to keep from having a stroke.
