My kids are TOTALLY getting into Star Wars. I was not surprised, though, that they were a little confused about Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. What does surprise me is the number of adults who do not realize that Darth Vader did not always wear a mask. To help clarify, I am including some images of Darth Vader before needing a breathing apparatus. To be completely clear: Each image below depicts Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.
Darth Vader - Not to be Trifled With...
This image shows the recently dubbed "Darth Vader Dark Lord of the Sith" as he wreaks havoc on the apparently evil Jedi insurgency.
Darth Vader in Tears
Arguably my absolute favorite image of Lord Vader, this image depicts the physical response he has to the (apparently overwhelming at this moment) internal conflict.
Darth Vader - "You underestimate my powers."
This is a great image of Lord Vader on the planet Mustafar as he is battling Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. This scene depicts Vader's resolute belief that he is doing the far better thing by supporting the emperor and bringing peace to the galaxy.
