The Power of the Dark Side

Posted By Britany on April 17, 2005

In an article entitled 'Darth Vader Lives', MSNBC looks at why Darth Vader is so appealing. Here's an excerpt:

Seductive qualities of the Dark Side
Why did Darth Vader appeal so much? In a time of detente, of nuance, there was a purity about "Star Wars," and no one was more pure than Darth Vader. He was the biggest baddest man on the biggest baddest ship in the galaxy. He wore black. He was evil, but a cool kind of evil, not like the other men of the Empire, pasty white British guys with bad haircuts and flared nostrils who bickered needlessly and couldn't pronounce "sorcerer's ways" correctly. No, Darth got it. The movie was about spirituality over technology, but only three people were really aware of this spirituality enough to control it, and one was wise but old (Obi-wan Kenobi), and one was idealistic but young (Luke Skywalker), while the third, Darth, was just right. You believed him when he told Obi-wan, "Your powers are weak, old man." If "Star Wars" is the first modern super hero movie then Darth is the only one who seems super in it. He even has the cape.
