Does anyone think that the new trilogy just turned Vader into a big pussy? I mean, for over 20 years he was the personification of unfeeling evil. He was cold, dark and you had no idea why he decided to wipe out whole star systems. That made him badass!

Now, he's cute little Jake Lloyd and pussy-whipped Hayden Christensen. I mean, when it's midnight, and I call my wife to tell her I'm gonna be late, the guys at poker night call me whipped. And here's the ultimate evil waking up from a full transition into Sith mode and he whines, "where's Padme?" And don't forget the mama's boy stuff. Someone in his life dies and he takes it out on everyone around him. He's just a trailer-trash, abusive boyfriend.

Fuckin' pussy! Why didn't someone kick his ass sooner than ROTJ?

i agree..it could have been done a lot more convincingly..i didn't really have as much of a problem with jake lloyd's character...but in episodes 2 and 3 i was pretty dissapointed

i was beginning to think i was the only person who felt that way about epsiode 3 :?

The reason he went to the dark side was to save Padme. When she died he realized that he had nothing else to live for so he embraced the Emperor's teachings and became the evil vader that we all know.

Yeah, I saw Episode III. I still think that makes him a pussy. He was much scarier when he was just evil for the sake of evilness. When I was a kid I thought he and all the stormtroopers were robots. That made the scary as fuck!

ROTJ just showed when he broke. I-III showed that he was a pussy all along.

Being in love and motherless didn't make him said insult, but killing a bunch of little kids sure did.

What got me was the "where's Padme?...You told me she was alright!"

Vader would never, ever, say the word "alright".

isn't it more interesting to know that part of him, albeit only a small part, was still human?

Luke was no 'macho man' himself. And therefore I conclude the casting was "right on".

I think he's a far more interesting character now, in light of what's shown in the prequel trilogy (in spite of the acting).

Yeah, now we know what going on behind the mask.

Mourning the loss of his mother and the conflict of trying to gain power to prevent Padme's death and then actually killing her and his unborn child.

The changes made to episode V where Vader talks to Palpatine make the story work much better.

The fact that he isn't the product of extreme trauma makes him a pussy. I mean, Vader should be the result of raising a child in a small cage, regular beatings, food deprivation, and probably some rape. If everyone who lost two loved ones turned into Vader, this planet would be overrun by evil men in black costumes.

What change was made in V?

i think the idea is that, yeah, everyone has to deal with the losses that annakin had, but that it makes us more succeptable to the dark side.
