His fall to the dark side is what made Luke go all Dr. His “darkness” was what made Leia and Han send him off to train with Luke. Stokes: More is built around it this time.
So is Darth Vader’s backstory less important than Kylo Ren’s? Or have our expectations for storytelling evolved? If Return of the Jedi came out nowadays, would we be outraged that they didn’t reveal the mystery of how Darth Vader became evil? It’s not until the prequels that we learn what made the character who he is, but nobody thought any less of the original trilogy that they left some things to the imagination. Obi-Wan just says “You father was seduced by the dark side of the Force,” and that’s that. Does he have compelling reasons to turn to the Dark Side and kill his father? But then I realized that hey, DARTH VADER never gets much backstory in the original trilogy. I was going to say something about how whether or not I like Darth My Chemical Romance depends on what his backstory turns out to be. That would certainly raise the stakes, right? Does anyone NOT think that he’ll have a last minute change of heart in Episode IX and save everybody? I’m rooting for a wild curve ball, like Rey kills him in Episode VIII and takes his place as Snoke’s apprentice. On the other hand, it seems like his arc is kind of pre-ordained and well-worn. This guy has tremendous power, but also immaturity, insecurity, and a lot more humanity. On the one hand I think it’s smart not to try and create a Darth Vader clone. I’m actually not sure what I think of him yet. Matt Belinkie: Are those meant to be affectionate nicknames, or dismissive ones? Something tells me this character is going to be polarizing. Pete Fenzel: I thought he was Darth 4chan. Jordan Stokes: So, first things first: are we calling Kylo Ren Darth Hipster? Or Darth Emo? Lots of Bad Guy spoilers and speculation follow. Last week, we mulled over some theories about who Rey’s mom is. The Force Awakens is an Overthinker’s holiday gift that keeps on giving.
