we think darth vader is that big ugly guy in the black costume? well thats half true.
darth vader decided to join the dark side of the force because chancellor palpatine convinced him the jedi are evil. he also made anikan change his name into darth vader as he said, " henforth, you shall be known as Darth Vader." he went and tried to kill Obi Wan kenobi, but failed and obi won cut his limbs and he fell into lava. palpatine found him and gave him a robot suit so he could survive.

I don't wish to edit the first answer. It answers the question of HOW did Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader, but not really why. It is not clear to me why Anakin gave up hope and signed on with Palpatine (or Darth Sidious). Was he manipulated mentally by Palpatine? Was he just stupid? I mean he had all this Jedi training and had done so much good, why throw it all away, even if he felt he'd blamed for the death of Mace Windu? I mean it's understandable that his role in Mace Windu's death (he cut off Windu's hand as Windu was about kill Palpatine/Siduous, and then Sidious turned on Windu) could cause him grief. But then. right then, he submitted to Sidious right away knowing fully well he had been manipulated by him all along. Why trust a manipulator?
Later comic books and novels have explored why he did give into the dark side a bit. Let's assume he was SO confused by Windu's death that in a moment of weakness gave into Palpatine/Sidious believing Sidious could save Padme's life. Yet he goes on and fights Kenobi and kills all the Jedi children and goes after all the Jedi in a matter of hours/days while ALL HIS LIFE he had been good and killing the Jedi enemies. So one answer is that he felt that by being Darth Vader and biding his time, he could kill Palpatine/Sidious and eventually take over the Empire and make it to his image (along with Luke, later on). But why be so brutal about it? Luke Skywalker (as well as Cade Skywalker, a 150+/- 10 years later) also became the Emperor's apprentice for a short while, but always was sabotaging the Emperor's efforts. In contrast, Vader seems to take pleasure in going against everything that he was taught and there is no explanation given as to why.
In the end, the force judges his final set of actions, helping kill Palpatine for the first time (presumably Palpatine was already in a cloned body but had never been really killed until then by anyone yet), along with all the cumulative good he did as Jedi, to be enough to give him redemption and he joins with Yoda and Kenobi. The implication is that there was always good in him, but yet for a long while, ~20 years or so, Anakin Skywalker's Jedi training is barely present while Vader manifests his psychopathic self.
So the answer to "why" I think must lie in some kind of a split personality disorder. Anakin Skywalker was really two people, almost equally in balance with both light and dark, and when he was with the dark side, the light side was excluded entirely. I say "almost" because in the end he is with Yoda and Kenobi in light side heaven. So there is at least a small, yet significant, tilt even as he brings balance to the force for a brief while (almost all the Jedi except his son are killed; the Emperor who embodies the dark side is dead) and fulfills the prophecy of the chosen one.
It would be fun to psychoanalyse both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader and see what comes out of it. :)

Who Is the best and worst star wars charecter?
The best Star Wars character is Anakin Skywalker, in my opinion. The worst, ooo boy, there are a lot. I'll just go with the Ewoks, since I've historically hated them for no good reason.
Could you compare Star Wars to Romeo and Juliet?
No. Romeo and Juliet is a doomed love story tragedy about two lovers who come from feuding families who are ill fated and who die because their parents hate each other. Star Wars is about a rebellion of the forces of the good (the Jedi) versus the evil Sith Lord Emperor Sideous. The Sith Lord has an evil ally Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) who is the father of a Jedi Knight (Luke) and a Princess (Lelia). Star Wars is nothing like Romeo and Juliet. It is in the 6th episode of Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi, that we find out Luke and Lelia are brother and sister, and the love story is between Hans Solo, a mercenary, and Princess Lelia. There is also a love story between Anakin Skywalker and Padame, but, that is doomed, because Anakin turns to the "dark side" and Padame dies of a broken heart, after giving birth to Luke and Lelia. There is no real comparison between Star Wars and Romeo and Juliet.
How would you summarize Star Wars?
Star Wars is a classic tale of good vs. evil, yet in addition to the old ending of "good always wins!" there is an underlying message--the power of redemption. Anakin Skywalker was the "Chosen One," the one who would destroy the evil in the universe. Yet when he fell to the dark side, many ditched that idea. It was understandable. But what's important is that, wielding the power of light, Luke Skywalker redeemed his father, so that he died Anakin, not Vader--a Jedi, not a Sith.
In Star Wars who was Darth vador?
yes first good then bad then good then died. (he saved his son Luke from dieing) He turned into to a bad guy cause when he was a boy he was a slave now he want revenge Technically, he also went through a lot of grief when his mother died, during the clone wars (losing men he cared about and couldn't save [similar to the circumstances his mother's death]), and the vision he had of his secret wife Padme dying during childbirth LuckyNumber07 Says... If you mean just Star Wars the Clone Wars. Anakin Skywalker is on the good side in all the episodes. (I watch them) -LuckyNumber07 (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(")
Is Watto good or evil in Star Wars?
Depends on how you look at it. Anakin Skywalker spent his childhood as a slave and Watto was his "owner." Besides supporting slavery, not much is shown to identify him as an evil character.
In Star Wars the clone wars does Anakin changes into Darth Vader?
Not yet in the series, so far he is good. I am just saying that for now, but I don't think they plan to change it.

Who is better Aragorn from lord of the rings or Anakin from Star Wars?
Anakin from Star Wars is better because Anakin can use the Living Force to his advantage, and while Aragorn is good with medieval weapons like a sword and bow and arrow and crossbow, Anakin has a lightsaber and can, of course, move things with his mind, so he could probably tear the weapon out of Aragorn's hand or deflect him with his mind, should they ever fight each other. Also, if somebody wants to fight Aragorn, they are going to fight him, while Anakin can use the Jedi mind trick to make the person back off and let him through, etc. Anakin is also a pilot and is good with mechanical things like droids. Plus, he is, of course, the Chosen One. And there is no competing with that. No matter how good you are with a crossbow.
Will star wars battlefront 3 come out on the ps2?
The answer is not sure yet but there is a good chance for it to come out
Is there going to be a seventh Star Wars?
No. Lucas arts has said that star wars will be discontinued. But on the other hand Star Wars The Clone Wars (An animated television show on Cartoon Network) has come out and is actually very good!
Which Star Wars is better Star Wars the clone wars or Star Wars reveange of the sith?
I think The Revenge of The Sith because Anakin turns to the dark side and he is transformed into Darth VaderI like both, but I prefer 1,2,and 3 because all the Jedi are there and Yoda's there!!!! :) Jonas girl80 :)I like Revenge of the Sith because you see Darth Vader for the time. But I agree with Jonas girl80 that the originals are good. My favorite original is Return of the Jedi because you see Anakin for the first time in a long time. Revenge of the sith I think is amazing. My favorite character is Anakin Skywalker. (Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are not the same person)this is a matter of opinion but i think ROTS is better because the characters are played by THE PROPER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!Episode 3 ROCKS!Anakin/Darth Vader is really gross when the helmet comes off.The clone wars was the gayest thing i ever seen the acting realy suked in it and there were dum creatures flying in space in one episode which was realy gay. the clone wars realy just messed up my favorite movie shame on u george lucas go bak to filming realmovies to redeem your self.
