Its all about Vader
It has always been about Vader. As much as I love all the other characters in the SW universe Vader has always been my favorite character. The passion of my SW collection has mostly centered around Vader. I am so excited to see him as the center of the ROTS merchandising campaign

Maybe I am wrong but I never felt the evil that was supposedly personafied by Darth Vader. Years before the ROTS. I felt connected with the Dark Lord of the Sith. Perhaps he is a representation that there are no absolutes, (sorry Anakin) that a person can be both good and evil at the same time. That inheritly we cannot be all one or the other. But that its a constant struggle to find the balance of both our qualities and faults.

Vader is not the eptiome of evil but the tradgedy of passsion turned to power when internal righteousness has been exhausted. It is not by an evil or corrupt gene that will make us sell our souls to the darkness. Its the anguish of not being able to control the outcome of those people and things that are most precious to us.

Vader lives in all of us. Embracing Vader means admitting that we all can fall to darkeness. We can all be Vader by sercetly wishing we had the power to control destiny and the fate of people and things that we cherish.
