Awww. I love Darth Vader. This I gotta join.
I love his duality--not just how freakin scary he was in the OT, but the humanity and deep love that made him that way (PT)

Anyway, no Queengoddess, your making perfect sense. I find that too. I mean, let's face it. The bad guys are often, and certainly this is true in the case of Darth Vader, way sexier and more striking and alluring than the good-guys. And yet, because of the duelist nature of most of our stories, the bad guys always have to be defeated or redeemed. And as you pointed out, their being defeated repeatedly makes them look weak, and their getting redeemed causes them to loose a lot of that sexiness which comes from the dark side. I mean, can you think of any good-guy who has anything like the sheer presence of Vader? I can't, SW or otherwise.Except possibly for Gandalf and Galadriel in LOTR, but they don't have the raw sex-appeal that Vader does by far.
It's a problem!
It's a problem, but I don't know that there's much way to really fix it. The heroes lack the sheer will to crush all who oppose them that Vader has, largely because that's part of what makes Darth Vader evil. It's only the heroes that serve as basically pure embodiments of powerful heroism similar to how Darth Vader in the original trilogy is an embodiment of powerful villainy.
I've heard Han has the same sex-appeal but I don't know if it's true or not.

I love the fearsome nature but I'm less of a fan of Vader's obsession over his wife leading to his downfall though I can appreciate what Lucas was trying to do with it.

I agree 100%
also if i might mention I love the PT because I got to hear padme's name come out of Darth Vader's mouth. That was awesome and I was hoping for a long time I would hear and I did..and for that reason..GL is on my good list forever.

I do like that he had James Earl Jones say Padme's name as without the transition would have been less effective.

Yeah, it wouldnt have been as effective without that. It fit together nicely for me.
at the end of ROTS when DV is looking out at the death star ..it doesnt look like the Ian under the hood for some reason that bugs me. anyone hear that it was someone else(actor wise) or is that just so trival.

Yeh I know. I loved hearing the breath and the few lines in James Earl Jones's voice. I actually shivvered the first time I heard that part!
Master Starwalker. Personally, I don't find that Hahn has anything like the same kind of sexiness. But then, I can't see him, and he's got nothing on Vader voice-wise. Mind you, I can't see Vader any more either, and just picturing him in the suit is enough for me to find him sexy! So I guess it's a matter of personal taste?

It definitely is. Within the male fanbase there's the typical Leia or Padme debate so it could be similar to that.

Just watching Darth Vader truly come into existance in ROTS; being transformed from a human to mostly machine was awesome. It sent cold chills down my spine, and it was also thrilling as well.

So did I.
It happens to me every time I watch my ROTS Dvd. I plan to watch ROTS tonight, and I look forward to experiencing those goosebumps all over again.
