10 Sad Facts About Star Wars You Just Need To Accept

5. Vader Is Ruined

Yep, Vader is done. Once a figure as mysterious as the Force itself, a seemingly ageless entity that pursued Luke tirelessly across the galaxy; now, he's a butthurt emo kid in leathers. How much do you want to bet he's got My Chemical Romance blaring out of the speakers in his helmet? "I'm not okay you guys". Imagine those prequels never happened. Now imagine the shot from the new trailer - the one that reveals Vader's busted mask. How much more impact would that have had if the original vision of Vader still prevailed? The answer is, of course, lots more. Like the Force itself, Lucas couldn't resist over-explaining this whole character to the point that it was completely reduced to absurdity. Way to ruin one of sci-fi's favourite bad guys!
